Abundant Tomatoes

Despite the fact that our garden was attacked by grasshoppers and beaten half to death in not one but two really bad storms, we are seeing a pretty steady harvest of tomatoes. This year we grew two heirloom varieties (brandywine black and pineapple) and one hybrid (sausage - it's basically a funny-shaped Roma). As such, I have been peeling and freezing lots of tomatoes.

Evelyn has become quite the little tomato peeler and squisher.




So far I've made BLTs, salsa, and pasta sauce. I've got my on a yummy bruschetta recipe, but I'm not sure I'll be able to convince the natives of its deliciousness. Maybe I'll just have to eat the whole batch myself.
