If it squishes too easily it's too ripe and if it's hard to squeeze it's not ripe enough. I usually buy one that is ripe and one that is still unripe and put the unripe one on the window sill for a day or two until it ripens up. They stay pretty well MRGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15752561588500311545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-56795803829039869242012-06-21T12:02:03.407-04:002012-06-21T12:02:03.407-04:00I'm not a big fan of the heat (like most), esp...I'm not a big fan of the heat (like most), especially because the humidity in WV is so high. But I like to remind myself that I'd rather it be hot than be snowing and icy! Something about being extra sweaty makes me feel refreshed. The mushroom paprikish looks awesome; my family is a big chicken eater but I'm not a fan of meat. I'll have to try your vegetarian version.MRGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15752561588500311545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-51513521894283251312012-06-21T11:57:05.054-04:002012-06-21T11:57:05.054-04:00Come to Texas.

After three tours in the Middle East, my husband can bitch about the heat all he wants but I never will again. When I was training for the Marine Corps Marathon in 2005, he was on his second tour in the Middle East. I had to do my training runs around 3 p.m. in the heat and humidity of a Virginia summer.
