And I've got another bunch of the eye-talians to dry, and more okra, and some peppers that I think I'm going to roast then dry.<BR/><BR/>And we finally got enough green beans for a mess. Which is really sad because I should have had bunches canned and dried. There is still a chance for them though.CGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542303804886924280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977441.post-55961301839205462182007-08-27T18:26:00.000-04:002007-08-27T18:26:00.000-04:00the tomatoes taste wonderful this year.the tomatoes taste wonderful this year.Joe Tornatorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000422283219331593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977441.post-67928372127575840262007-08-25T17:12:00.000-04:002007-08-25T17:12:00.000-04:00Beautiful.Beautiful.FHBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261425729050948728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977441.post-4885553049683529962007-08-25T08:25:00.000-04:002007-08-25T08:25:00.000-04:00Oh, we have wasted more of what we've grown so man...Oh, we have wasted more of what we've grown so many years. There are some tricks. Always eat it now. Never be saving. And just because you can't get it all, don't not get any of it. Eat a mess of chard. The other day I had three okra's ready. I took them and dried them with the tomatoes, again for soup in the winter.

I haven't made tomato paste yet but I use these for marinara and just let it stay loose. I think if I cooked it down for five or six hours I might get to paste anyway although I read that it really wants to dehydrate.Heather Jefferieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05590391262194548880noreply@blogger.com
