Tag: tomatoes..
Mom gave me all the plants she pulled up from her garden-glad she didnt use any poisons this year-else I would have declined.2 huge black bags- 1 more to come. The compost pile is high now! I feel like a lucky dog with all this garbage! Jim will remove the soil from the 2nd bin to its own spot & I'll start the 2nd compost-after the rain spell we get.I'm emptying the potting soil from the window boxes & containers into the flower beds-need to add some more peat & some compost. I'm not as concerned about those beds-but would like the soil to be a bit better than what it is,as ours is on the clay side. I'm looking forward to a nice sunny cool day to gather & shred the leaves. I love playing the yard in the fall..more than any other time.We got the set of stairs moved to the back door with the tractor-yippee! Done. I need to get that chalking gun out and do around the mudroom windows both sides-wonder if there's time today..& do I have chalk on board? 3 more celery plants to pull up and its all done.A wonderful recipe for Tomato soup last nite-was yummy. 1 pint of fresh tomatoes-{grinded up}-put in heavy saucepan-but I used a bit more- 1/2 teas. baking soda,, in another saucepan- 1 qt. of milk- 1 can of evaporated milk heating on low. I added parsely- salt & pepper, put it all together after the tomatoes boiled a bit.I didnt puree' them all the way but left little bits of tomatoes.So much more flavor than Campbells.Great with grilled cheese-sliced tomato & onion sandwiches.

Yum, "comfort food" thats sounds like the recipe I use. My Gramma always put baking soda in hers too,said it keeps the milk from curdleing and we always use a little chichen broth or chicken soup base. |
