So, we have a lot of canned tomatoes. I've been stewing over what to do with canned tomatoes for a long time, now.

I'm looking at https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#nav-today Looking at the global statistics for COVID-19, they just don't make sense. Presumably, about as many people in th...read more
