Hi Billy,

I am going out of my mind waiting.

Oh and I have a tomato press in storage. Run some fresh real
tomatoes through it, add basil, garlic, evoo. And, Oh My!
And low carb too (no sugar needed to cover up the crappy, picked
too green tomatoes).

One problem. No pasta allowed to pour it over? Poop!
