Back to Tomatoes

Week 13
Tomatoes and tomatoes and Patty Pan Squash,
Peppers, Eggplant, and Lovely Bouquets
and "extra" cucumbers and okra

What do you do with all of your cherry tomatoes? That was the question posted on the facebook page this week and the answer is: Apparently quite a bit!

Renee C passed along the blog address of Food 52. This week the food blog Food52 hosted a contest for cherry tomato ideas. You will want to see this weblog for reader submitted ideas. Perhaps there is time to submit your own? I plan to try the Tomato Cobbler first.

If you haven't tried the lasagna recipe from week 12 newsletter, you must do it! It was absolutely delicious and this week's share had all the ingredients needed. Thanks for sharing it with us, Andrea K!

With all these recipes and ideas let's hope the tomatoes keep coming for a while! But next I promise to write about peppers. Those fish peppers are awesome and have quite an interesting history.
