I hope you enjoy my homemade marinara sauce, made with homegrown tomatoes to boot, as its most definitely fit to eat. Paul Pickett photo - Paul Pickett photoI know I keep writing about the weather in my Fit to Eat column, but it has played such a major role in our veggie garden and what we have been cooking and eating these last few months.
I’m sure I sound repetitive when I say that homegrown tomatoes taste completely different from store-bought tomatoes. They are bursting with flavour — like fireworks with every bite. So much so that my hubby eats them like apples. Let’s not forget about the spice. I had some leftover spaghetti spice mix from Italy and I used about two tablespoons. It has everything from red pepper flakes and black pepper to basil and oregano.
A taste test never hurts. Yes, it is a total excuse to sneak a couple of roasted veggies. - Contributed

Vinland: a question of timingLONDON, U.K.—“If the 20th century AD were dated at the same resolution as the 20th century BC, the two World Wars would be indistinguishable in time; and the Montgomery Bus Strike might post-date the release of Mandela.” So wrote the ECHOES team of palaeohistorians at Groningen University in the northern Netherlands—and then they fixed the problem. Their new method for dating events in the distant past immediately got my attention, because the first problem they solved was the exact date of the first European settlement in the New World. It was the Viking settlement at L’Anse aux Meadows at the very northernmost tip of Newfoundland, and the year was 1021 AD. I was always interested in the Norse, because I grew up in Newfoundland and that was already seen as the likeliest location of the region they called ‘Vinland’. I read the sagas (‘Erik the Red’ and ‘The Greenlanders’), which were rip-roaring tales of triumph and treachery, but distinctly short on geographical and chronological detail. Then in the 1960s, Norwegian archaeologists discovered the remains of eight Norse longhouses on the L’Anse aux Meadows site. So the location was known, but still not the date. The explorers came from the new Norse settlements in Greenland, which had been founded in 985 AD, but nobody knew how much later they arrived in Newfoundland. So what the hell! Let’s say it was the year 1000 AD. The Newfoundland Museum declared that the year 2000 was the millennium of the Viking settlement, the local tourist authorities went into high gear—and somebody at the museum contacted me to write the script for the exhibition, because…well, because I was a journalist and a Newfoundlander. I swallowed my doubts, named my price, and did the job. Not a bad job, actually, because I could play with the fact that the Norse in Newfoundland had both peaceful and violent contacts with the local Indigenous people. Those people, probably related to the extinct Beothuk of Newfoundland or the modern Innu of Labra
