I'll save your idea for when we get another sort.<br /><br />My tomatoes weren't quite as bad off as yours, but I agree they're better cooked than raw. They're so meaty, the make a pretty good sauce as they collapse. I'll bet they fry up well too.billjachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260406336065905545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-32287316678728779212010-02-01T11:10:16.327-05:002010-02-01T11:10:16.327-05:00Bill, try roasting the radishes and then putting t...Bill, try roasting the radishes and then putting them in with the sauteed greens over pasta. I used a smoke chicken apple sausage and the sweetness really lightened the bitter notes from the radish. And of course roasting seems to mellow everything out!<br /><br />I found that even after sitting out for days, the tomatoes didn't really ripen and were still white inside. I roasted two yesterday with garlic and made a rustic putanesca sauce and served it over grilled swordfish with polenta. REALLY GOOD, you would have never known the tomatoes were not ripe as they did sweeten up from the oven.LaDivaCucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000430029590301972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-40242885460043344952010-02-01T10:57:01.257-05:002010-02-01T10:57:01.257-05:00The tangerines were indeed tasteless, but at least...The tangerines were indeed tasteless, but at least they were sweet. :-)Lucie Calihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17790018658534696894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-8712653571143567892010-01-31T12:19:50.564-05:002010-01-31T12:19:50.564-05:00Thanks!

I try to put in enough detail so people can not just follow my recipes but also see where they might want to change them.<br /><br />I also try not to make complicated recipes just for the sake of something to post. If a simple preparation serves the ingredient best, like with breakfast radishes, that's the way to go.billjachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260406336065905545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-82988468144578154162010-01-31T10:53:18.181-05:002010-01-31T10:53:18.181-05:00Love your detailed recipes!
