Another reason to love it! Cheese balls. Who knew? I'm smacking my lips over that one. : [NT] - Traca - 12:53am on 05/30/12

Yup. Definitely totally delicious. Mixed up everything and using it as spread for celery. Yum! [NT] - Richard in Cincy - 1:40pm on 05/30/12

even more retro---stuffed celery. such a childhood favorite, and so "special", even with cheezwhiz [NT] - AngAk1 - 3:33pm on 05/30/12

"Galette" threw me. I'm trying to visualize it. Like a veggie crab cake or fritter, right [NT] - Traca - 11:04pm on 05/29/12

It did me too, I couldn't picture it. Thought it meant rustic tart. What did it look like? [NT] - MariaDNoCA - 11:58pm on 05/29/12

oh, thank you! I felt stupid for not knowing that word. [NT] - MarilynFL - 7:34am on 05/30/12

I had to look it up. When I think galette, I think freeform pie or tart but according to Wikipedia - Traca - 9:45am on 05/30/12

yes..."apple galette" is what I always think of. [NT] - MarilynFL - 10:04am on 05/30/12

yeah might be that . I've had that problem in many crops [NT] - CathyZ from Kauai - 10:51pm on 05/29/12

Could be that or another virus. Is this a new bed or did you plant tomatoes there last year? - Joe - 1:15am on 05/30/12

I think Melissa nailed it with the mosaic virus. Bummer. Joe, we don't plant - MarilynFL - 7:43am on 05/30/12

Thanks everyone, for the sad but necessary education. [NT] - MarilynFL - 7:43am on 05/30/12

Pretty garden, my main problem with tomatoes alway is those ugly huge caterpillars. - MariaDNoCA - 11:53pm on 05/29/12

B.t. spray (Bacillus thurengensis, but you only need to know the initials.) works wonders... - Joe - 1:10am on 05/30/12

Joe, may I use this on my herbs and still harvest them?? [NT] - Janet in NC - 1:37am on 05/30/12

Yes, it can even be sprayed on food in transit. It is simply a bacteria that affects caterpillars... - Joe - 1:45am on 05/30/12

I agree, it looks like a virus or fungus. Yes, nice-looking herbs. You have - DawnNYS - 5:06pm on 05/31/12

I've made a version of this for 30 years. Good stuff but do try it with All-Purpose flour instead - Steve2 in LA - 5:57pm on 06/13/12

Thanks for the tips Steve. Did you ever add things to the loaves? - Dawn_MO - 7:03pm on 06/13/12
