Hooray for tomatoes!

We ate our first two tomatoes today, and they were delicious. I'm excited to eat some more, but the fact that there appear to be twelve healthy plants growing in puny pots behind our garage has me a little concerned. Ruth wants to get some bigger pots and shower them with love and fertilizer, but I don't know what we are going to do with all of the tomatoes. Sometimes in my darker moments I daydream about an accident somehow involving the lawn mower, the tomato plants, and lots of rabbits happily feasting on the remains which have been splattered across the side of the garage.

Or I suppose we could try to make some sauce or salsa or something. I guess we'll deal with it when the time comes.

We will be more than happy to take some tomatoes and make sure they fullfill their destiny of being eaten. Perhaps in a BLT, drizzled with olive oil and served with mozzarella, grilled...oh the list could go on and on...

Or, our children could just rub tomato guts all over their bodies like they do with most foods (ethanandlogan.blogspot.com)

How did they taste after you used milk on them?

You could set up a "tomatoe" stand in your front yard. :-)
