Thursday was not so thoughtless for me. I was scheming as to what I would do with my stash of tomatoes.
Pink, yellow, and red varieties have been growing here at the farmette. Funny how they all end up ripe at the very same moment.....
Salsa was the plan and so the tomatoes went straight into a hot bath,
then into their icy plunge.
Skinless on the cutting board, they awaited their fate with the knife.
A bit of cooking took place.
And, voila, salsa for the freezer and some ready for the fridge.
The fact that it tastes good AND is totally edible, (meaning not poisonous), equals a total success in my book.
good for you! yum, chips!

ReplyDeleteYou are so industrious! Looks delish. We got 3 new hens today! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteI love home made salsa! Beautiful tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteYum! We had those two very early tomatoes ripen and then we stopped. Tons and tons of green ones, though, which I am sure will all be ready at once! haha. Salsa is a great idea and we never have trouble using it up!
ReplyDeleteLove those yellow ones! Your salsa has my mouth watering...we are getting ready for our Saterday barbeque here on the farm...Have a great weekend Michelle!
ReplyDeleteNice to see the process in pictures. My work colleagues would tell you that I am passionate about tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteIf it tastes as good as it looks, yum.
ReplyDeleteDarryl and Ruth :)
This looks mighty fine. You'll enjoy more in winter.
ReplyDeleteYup I remember the all ripe at the same time problem.... Catching up on your recent posts as our computer conked out and Mayo Clinic was clearing up some medical issues for me.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent series of pictures on a quite common subject. Now I am going for some of my cherry tomatoes...
ReplyDeleteYou did it, you actually made me hungry... I can almost taste it.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a better compliment.
Except a long line-up of blog followers at your door! lol
Break out the pasta!
ReplyDeletenot only the pictures look very attractive
ReplyDeleteone can smell and almost taste !
Your tomatoes are beautiful and I can almost taste the salsa. My boys used to put salsa on vegetables, even broccoli. Anything to get them to eat veggies.
ReplyDeleteEverything is better made with homegrown tomatoes. The ones in the store have no taste. My favorite way to eat a fresh tomatoe is with the tomatoe in one hand, salt shaker in the other, leaning over the sink eating it like an apple.
Yum! My tomatows have finally begun to ripen.
ReplyDeleteYou have many talents!
ReplyDeleteNice images.
I can nearly smell it.
Thanks for the music..... it went all the way to my living room here in Stavanger/Norway!:)
The tomatoes are gorgous! Nothing better that grabbing ingredients for making wonderful snacks from the yard. Your salsa looks amazing, i'm thinking a bag of chips and fresh guac could keep me busy for while :)
