Red is the New Green

(This is my last blog on tomatoes) My very-so-green tomatoes are finally RED!!!

I was conducting a ripening experiment and here are the results.
1. The banana in the jar with tomatoes was no good.
2. Leaving them in a bowl on the window seal to soak up the sun wasn't as efficient, it took longer for the tomatoes to turn red, but a few on top did turn red.

3. Brown bag with bananas worked well.

4. The BEST results came from putting them in a plastic grocery sack in the pantry.

I was surprised because the internet raved about putting bananas with the tomatoes, but it didn't make a difference.

I've been eating tomatoes daily. Toast with cream cheese, a little garlic salt, and tomato slices has been a common snack.

Since I have sooooooooooooooo many I've been trying to use them in whatever dish I can think of. Of course, tomato soup was the perfect recipe for all of my tomatoes. I cut up the tomatoes and got to work. I simmering everything in the pot and finished the last step of blending it all together to make it smoooooth, and right when I was going to pour the soup in our bowls, this happened........

Even got a little on Ben's chin.
