Tomatoes, Tomatoes, Tomatoes






Yesterday was more tomato work--this time pasta sauce. We ended up with 33 pints of goodness, thanks to Mrs. Wage's. We also put away 7 pints of corn, in the freezer instead of canning because I was too tired to do that. And I wanted some firepit time in the evening.

It's funny how we can be so worn out, but light the fire, pour a glass of wine and sit out on the patio with the dogs, and soon the fatigue just turns into sleepiness and a guarantee of a good night's sleep.

This morning we were back out early to get more tmatoes and to buy jars and also to look at a couple of things for our booths. We came home with a vanload.

This is why I love my van! A lovely oak mantle, old steamer trunk, 2 chairs, 3 bushels of tomatoes, boxes of jars, a few other groceries, and still plenty of room for more if we wanted to.

Now it's all unloaded and I need to get back in the kitchen. But here's a link to a post I wrote some time back, all about tomatoes:

  1. I love the look of filled jars! Do you use a food mill to make your sauce? -Jenn

  2. I've got a couple of tomato plants in my back yard that are just beginning to ripen. The little lad who lives next door is very excited about this - I don't think he'd ever seen tomatoes on a plant before. He doesn't like tomatoes but assures his mum that he's going to eat some of "John's special tomatoes"!
