Some of the stuff I did do:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Processed A LOT of tomatoes (I bought a 25-lb. box from my CSA<\/a> that I brought home Thursday night); now in the freezer there is:<\/p>\n

A carton of chunky tomato sauce with white wine & rosemary; another of Marcella’s famous tomato-butter sauce<\/a>; 2 cartons of roasted tomato sauce;\u00a0 2 cartons of whole peeled tomatoes; and 4 cartons of diced tomatoes. These are all yogurt containers that hold about 3 cups, so each carton is about like a 28-oz. can. There’re also 3 smaller cartons, pints, of roasted tomatoes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And on Monday, Susan and Carl brought me more tomatoes, about 10 pounds of lovely San Marzanos, paste tomatoes, two heirlooms, and a quart jar of sauce that they say is concentrated from 5 pounds. On Tuesday I made cooked salsa with some of them.<\/p>\n

On Monday I made 3 jars of corn salsa, that yes, has tomatoes in it.<\/p>\n

This is the jar I will give Susan if it ever stops raining and I can bike it over<\/p><\/div>\n

Hiked around at Governor Dodge Park, and came home and ate Jamie Oliver’s cheat’s deep dish pizza<\/a> – the cheat is it’s a biscuit crust. I used about half the amount of crust.<\/p>\n

Sorted cooking mags, but not as well as I could’ve and I still never found the October 2019 Cuisine at Home<\/em> where the corn salsa recipe is (I got it online instead).<\/p>\n

Went for a long bike ride, around Lake Monona, on Saturday. 16 miles<\/p>\n

Ate brats and coleslaw and corn – though I broiled the brats and boiled the corn inside, what’s the use of starting a fire in the grill for 2 brats and 2 ears of corn?! I had my brat with my homemade pickle relish and horseradish. It was pretty perfect. They were Willow Creek brats from the co-op.<\/p>\n

Had a nice brunch on the back deck, with Susan and Carl and Susan’s daughter Leah. Used up leftovers from other meals. And tomatoes<\/p>\n\n\t\t
