re: I got a whole mess of fresh tomatoes out the garden

I spent all morning canning cucumbers for dill pickles. Looking forward to canning the tomatos for salsa, but they're are still green though. My jalapenos and cayenne are almost ready for the pepper sauce..

You can make a kick-arse marinara out of that. The wife chops them in half, roasts them in the oven with olive oil, parsley and rosemary on them.

Then in a pan, saute some garlic and olive oil. Add the tomatos and oil to the garlic in the pan. Heat a little. Then drop all of the above into a food processor and just hit it a few times. Add salt, pepper, little red wine.
Then get some good bread and dip that shite.

That sounds pretty damn good.

I love making sandwiches with fresh tomatoes!

can you give me a basic run down on this? i've been wanting to try it.

i like to roast my grape tomatoes in the oven with olive oil, salt and pepper. you can eat them like that, make a roasted tomato soup (FABULOUS with grilled cheese), put them on a pita with some feta, or wrap them in bacon and throw them on the pit.
