My tomato garden is in full swing. I'm already picking more 'maters than I can eat. Wish I could share them with you guys. I picked the first Beefsteak tomato this morning - it is HUGE! Funny thing is that I started all of these plants from seeds. I gave my mother several seedlings ready to go in the ground around Mother's Day. Her plants have yet to yield more than one scrawny tomato which was pecked on by birds. She keeps claiming that the plants are defective. (heehee) She left yesterday with a bag of tomatoes for herself and my uncle. No guys today at the gym with their weenies hanging out. Just the guy next to me had a horrendous case of B.O. I went to the weight machine section doing hip adduction exercises (where your legs are spread wide sitting down and you squeeze your knees together). I could really feel the muscles doing it but I felt like I was in the GYN's office when I was sitting in the chair. (Note to self - make sure crotch is not tight on workout clothes before getting on equipment!) Lulu brought me a roach this evening from outside. It was still alive. It went scurrying across the den. I've been tearing the place apart looking for the evil bug. It must die (preferably a smooshing death) before I can go to sleep or I'll have bug nightmares. I know the cats love me and all, but roaches are not nice presents for me. |

I procrastinated and never got to plant any tomatoes. I LOVE toast, miracle whip, and tomatoe sandwiches. I could eat about a million and a half of them!
You better find that roach quick. You know if he finds his way to a hiding place, all his friends are coming over tonight! ;+)

If you were nearby, you'd be welcome to some of the tomatoes. I had one yesterday. It was dee-lish. I think I'm making crab-stuffed roasted tomatoes tonight.
And yes, I caught that roach - read my latest posting for the details.

Have you ever frozen tomatoes? It's super easy and they're soooo good to have to cook with in the winter. Just plop them in boiling water for a minute or two, this makes the skin just slide off, then put them into freezer bags. Put as many or as few as you want in the bag. They're great in spaghetti sauce, chili, soups, etc. Anything you'd used a canned tomato for, except these will have that unmistakable flavor of a summer tomato. And don't worry if they freeze in a big clump, they're really easy to 'chisel' off the amount you need. :)

I'm a purist when it comes to tomatoes - I only eat them fresh, from my garden. Someone asked if I can them, and I laugh.
