A Mixed Up Kind of Day

It is a day of contrasts. Here my brown lover pulling our daughter in the snow. Shorts, tank tops and bathing suits drying on the drying rack inside because it is too cold outside. Far too cold to be wearing any of that stuff here... Sweaters and undershirts over my own memory of warmth. And then, as the snow flies outside, my house is full of the delicious aroma of slow roasting tomatoes as I continue to process my ripening tomatoes from my own garden while thinking that in just 2 months it will be time to plant next year's seeds on the window sill...

Andrea, I just tried a recipe for onion soup out of the Rebar cookbook. Its secret ingredient is roasted tomatoes. It really makes the flavour of the soup very rich and intense. Delicious. I think I had better roast the rest of mine too, they won't last much longer as they are.

Karen told me how to do it and I tried it one day and fell in love! I will never make tomato sauce again. These are so delicious - they really make the flavour of any dish! And so easy to do - cut in half and put in the oven!
