This is why we would make lots and lots of jars of stewed tomatoes, and then stewed tomatoes would be the base ingredient of half the winter meals.

Tomato pie is a summer highlight.

Put a celery stick in it with a shot or two of vodka.

Wait till you see the kale desert!

You just have the wrong kind of tomatoes. Plant indeterminate tomatoes, and they’ll be ripening all summer, instead of all at once in the fall like determinate tomatoes do.

NOBODY needs any tomato smoothie

Eat radishes instead.

At least it’s not a zucchini chip cookie and smoothie…..

Tomato smoothie is – ketchup!

Can salsa. Use the juice drained from it for Bloody Mary mix. You’re welcome.

Blanch the tomatoes. Remove the peals. Then freeze them for cooking in the winter.

Tomato & cucumber sandwiches with mayo & salt & pepper – Yummy!

I really thought Amy was smart enough to know what to do with an unexpectedly large harvest. I guess I gave her too much credit.

She should try tomato ice cream! Then tell me what it’s like, because I never had the nerve…

more BLTs, please…

I make four siren salsa. That works nicely to use the tomatoes. I can’t eat it, but others love it!

Over the years, my mother canned hundreds of quarts of tomato juice.

freeze em or make sauce and freeze that…a little bit of summer in the winter…

learn how to can them.
