eightisenough to prune a tomato first determine if you have a determinate or indeterminate tomato (should be on the tomato labels for what is what). The reason for this is you do not prune determinate tomatoes which tend to grow short and produce all their tomatoes at once. You will however prune indeterminate tomatoes that will give you tomatoes through out the season, and large out of control vines. To prune the indeterminate tomato you simply remove the suckers (think new vines) when they are under 2" long that grow from between the stem and tomato leaves. You can choose to leave two of these suckers to make a larger plant. The first sucker to leave is the very first one that shows up. Also you can leave the sucker that comes out of the first flower bunch. Of course you will have to remove suckers from these two vines as well.

The London Broils I have always bought were much thicker than a Flank steak. 1 - 1.5 inches thick. We always cooked them in the crock pot. Simply rub with a chili powder mix and add a can or two of tomatoes and green chilis maybe a tablespoon of vinegar and a chopped onion. Then you just cook it on low all day long and come home to a wonderful smell. To serve simply shred the meat over rice (or other grains) or you can roll in a tortilla with cheese and refried or black beans. Very much like a chipotle burrito. One of my favorite quick crock pot meals.

Were you in any way reimbursed for writing this love letter to the paper towel industry?

Maybe if you had written more as a reduce reuse recycle tone which does seem to be part of your article instead of I love myself too much to give up something I deep down believe to be bad but want to justify the use of to begin with it would have been more successful as an article.
