  • It's been raining here lately and yesterday we had snow in the rain, which prompted us to "panic" and decide we needed to bring in the tomatoes in case we had a hard frost.  So, Doyle and Peter (and the little boys) worked in the mud and cold and brought in our tomatoes.  They brought them into the greenhouse where they now lie on trays and will ripen.  This morning I made some more of  Beth's (now famous) Roasted Tomato Sauce and canned it in pint jars for the winter.  We will be having pizza tonight with a jar that couldn't fit into the canner.  It smells amazing while it roasts and everything in the sauce came out of our garden, the tomatoes, onions, garlic and the herbs.  If we could only bottle that smell, we would be millionaires!

    I made Roasted Tomatoes with Fresh Basil and Mozzarella with all our tomatoes last night for supper, along with a Roast Chicken and biscuits.  Of course, since Jonathan was here we had to make cookies, so we made the Toll House Brownies for dessert.  The Roasted tomatoes were fabulous, had a lot of garlic on them, plus my fresh basil.  YUM!

    I guess if winter is on the way (and it seems that way) we might as well enjoy our yummy roasted foods!
