These look so, so good. <br /><br />When I have a surfeit of fresh tomatoes in the summer, I always roast them with salt, olive oil, and garlic. Sometimes I buy a surfeit just so I can. I let them cool and then whiz them into sauce in the food processor, then freeze it flat in zip lock bags for winter sauce. I'm pretty sure the freezer is looking empty right now. <br /><br />If I were starting seeds from scratch, I'd do it now. More likely I'll buy heirloom tomato seedlings in early May and put them in the ground with protection. We won't be eating sun-warmed 'maters until July, alas. Can't wait!Edith Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388006370860482509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-24409458576381445222021-03-21T15:41:41.038-04:002021-03-21T15:41:41.038-04:00Noticed that the cherry tomatoes taste better than...Noticed that the cherry tomatoes taste better than the bigger tomatoes.

But yes, my body is giving me a message that it cannot tolerate even a small amount of tomatoes or chilis or sweet bell peppers in a dish. I mean, that pizza slice probably had 1 tsp of tomato sauce on it, and I still got a full red body rash. <br />Good thing the Ottawa weather is still between -5C/22F to +13C/55F, and I am wearing long-sleeved shirts to cover it up!

I always have a garden full of herbs - chives (thanks to Edith Maxwell) basil sage thyme parsley and oregano. Am I the only one who can't abide rosemary? It smells like mothballs to me. Feh. And I wish we had good sour dough bread -- what I can get here in New England doesn't hold a candle to the sour dough I remember readily available on the West coast.
