KJV Bibles and Green Tomatoes

What do green tomatoes and KJV Bibles have in common?

For starters, we have lots of both. More than lots to be exact.

The kids and I did some green tomato picking the other day - we kept picking and picking till finally the excitement wore off for the kids. But I still did some picking to end up with a crazy amount!

Then later that night when "the farmer" got home, he went and picked...more! So what in the world do we do with all these green tomatoes?

Speaking of lots of tomatoes, we have tons of something else too...KJV Bibles with an "oops" in them. Yep, talk about a downer. Last year, about this time or to be exact, the day BEFORE Thanksgiving - Bobby dropped the bummer bomb about the KJV Bibles we had just printed.

A typo. Well, more than that, a complete book was missing with a duplication of another one in it's place.

So what do we do with so many KJV Bibles...

...and green tomatoes.

Its a dilemma for sure, but with a little cream cheese icing and some plastic stickers - we'll get through to the bottom of the pile(s). Eventually.

Wrap them in newspaper and store them in a dark cubby. They will ripen on their own that way. We tried this last year, as recommended by my Dad, and it worked very well! We were able to enjoy garden tomatoes will into the winter this way! :-)

Do they melt if gasoline gets spilled on them, like polypropylene? What else beside water are they resistant to?

We've actually never tried testing with gasoline. The paper that we use does have a level of chemical resistance, but I am not quite sure where its threshold is. I would imagine the ink dissolving before the paper is 'melted.' We do know that the paper we use is resistant to tearing, cracking and other various liquids, i.e. mud, coffee. If you give it a try, please share your results.
