I'm thankful for the preservation of summer and for those who graciously shared their bounty. We'll be enjoying some tasty smoothies and shakes during these colder days!!
For now, I continue to take in the last of the tomatoes and potatoes. Say that three times fast.
I made a really simple pasta sauce tonight. Fried onion and garlic in olive oil. Added boiled down fresh tomato juice, salt and garlic. I would have eaten it as such, but the family needs sugar to to tone down the tart.
I'm pretty sure I'm one of those gardeners who actually pays $64 for each tomato brought in from the home garden. By the time you add up all the labor and costs, you could more easily buy it at Walmart (or around here, the Amish auction). But for me? The time spent outside is priceless! Take that Walmart!

The time is priceless and so is the taste of all the goodies you have put up. It will be a very yummy winter. The picture looks good enough to eat. Janenne
