Tomatoes
Today I must deal with the ridiculous number of tomatoes that ripened while I was on vacation.
Every August there is this explosion of tomatoes and they are SO delicious, but something must be done to preserve them for winter. And canning is a lot of work, it's messy and it's hot.
I'm planning to can some this afternoon, but I'm also trying a new idea. A guy I work with suggested this and it's cool. I cut the tomatoes in half, put them on a greased cookie sheet and bake them in the oven at the lowest temp overnight. Then I take them out and freeze them in plastic bags. In the winter, they'll be great in soups etc. Easy-peasy. :-)
In the meantime I'm eating as many tomato and cheese sandwiches on white with lots of Hellman's mayonnaise, salt and pepper as I can. Because they are really, really good, people! I mean it.
My mouth is watering just thinking about it. And I'm gonna go make one right now.

hey! good to have you back!
my mouth is watering at the thought of those tomatoes!
we had the same problem in our holiday house: the tomatoes were ripening before we could eat them! and we were having them for every meal in every which way...
Yeah!!!
Kate is back from vacation!
From the pictures below, it looks like you had a fantastic time.
My husband grows EVERYTHING, datura, night blooming jasmine, exotic trees, plants, but he cannot grow tomatoes!!
Wish you could throw some my way. (literally.)
