We are in the trenches here... tomatoes everywhere! I should say this inundation is actually an absolute joy considering we haven't had tomatoes from the garden to can in years. Remember these? They've transformed! So far, we've canned twelve quarts of tomatoes, simply peeled and mashed into jars for sauce... I can't tell you how excited I am about that. And I will be as excited in February when we crack those fresh babies open! We still have dozens of tomatoes on the verge in the garden and a basketful on our table... bountiful harvest, love that.
I thought I'd share my favorite tomato salad with you, that's it just up there, and it makes my mouth water looking at it. It's just a tomato (juicy is best), a peeled cucumber, fresh mozzarella, basil, some sea salt, pepper and a small bit of vinegar (on the side here, Rob hates vinegar). So tasty. Is 10:30 pm late for a tomato salad? Hmm...
In other news, the floor of my loft still looks like this... and oh, I just caught sight of the date on that post... two weeks ago... really? Anyway, as I began to piece together my Strips and Bricks quilt, I noticed the awfulness of the alignment... like 1/4 of an inch extra on some of my bricks. As I tried in vain to find some explanation (other than the obvious) for that extra-ness I thought, who cuts fabric like that? I guess I do. Who fixes a quilt gone awry? I do this week. After I finish this... carefully.
