Eleven pounds of tomatoes!

August 19, 2012 by Mary Frances 2 Comments

Eleven pounds of tomatoes.
I have my work cut out for me today. Ethel (our farmer friend) convinced me to buy 11 pounds of her San Marzano tomatoes yesterday – and I did! So I am busy canning some and slowly oven drying the rest. I will give you those recipes later this week. Meanwhile the tomato smell is literally intoxicating, it smells so good. We will have this summer tomato freshness through some of the winter, but right now, I gotta get back to work!

My basil is also sky high – got to make pesto tonight!

    Those look so wonderful: here in Britain the weather has made growing anything much harder than usual. Just the sight of these cheers the soul 🙂
