peel 'em, chop 'em, freeze 'em in 16 ounce portions in freezer bags.
Great for casseroles and addresses the problem of batch size.

Â* In the past I have just rinsed and frozen them whole with the skin on
.. Freeze on a cookie sheet then bag , you pull what you need . I just
run them under hot water and the skin comes right off , toss them in the
pot frozen . But the freezer is too full of meat to freeze many , and we
have jars aplenty so ...

you work with what you've got. End of season ? I like to make huge
batches of chili or spaghetti sauce and freeze. Unfortunately I still
end up putting a box of veggies up at the street corner with a sign
"help yourself, free"

This time of year I like making pizza with sliced tomatoes on it. Nice
meaty ones, not a lot of liquid of course.

The Breakfast of Champions is 2 pieces of white toast, buttered to
make a fresh from the garden tomato sandwich. hmm-umm

Close. Better as a lunch than as a breakfast. I used to love them when I
was a kid. My parents always grew lots of tomatoes. I had digestive
issues with tomatoes for a long time. Now I am able to eat them again,
but I gave up on growing tomatoes. I can get them pretty fresh from
local produce stands, but not as fresh out of the garden as I grew up with.

Sorry but "The Breakfast of Champions" is a bowl of Wheaties.
They already claimed that title a lifetime ago.
I loved it as a kid. Haven't had it in years.

Get this though - I just looked in my kitchen and right there on
the top of my kitchen cabinets is an unopened box of Wheaties
that I had forgotten about. Seriously forgotten about as the date
says "Better if Used by Oct2014." Good grief!

I wonder if that would still be ok to try? I might next time I
buy fresh milk. I don't see and ingredients that would go bad. Or
I might do a Julie and toss it. I could at least feed it to the
seagulls...they eat anything.

Also Janet US - your tomato breakfast is a winner. You can't ever
go wrong with a fresh from the garden tomato. Sadly, I can't grow
them right now but I do make the effort to go to a local stand
for them. I do miss having my own garden though. Not only the
good produce but the morning time spent pampering my garden. I
was out there at dawn every day and really loved those times.

Â* I'm usually out there by about 7 watering and checking stuff . One
benefit of being out early is that it's cooler and the bugs are moving
slower . Makes it easier to squash 'em .

That's the time of day when the world belongs to you. Everything is
quiet. Nice.

and loaded with buttered homemade bread and then a
pint of salsa over two slices.

I do that often too but fresh tomatoes do have too much water.
What I do the day before a pizza is to put a rack on a cookie
sheet and put the slices on it. Overnight (8 hours or so) in my
gas oven with pilot light will semi dry them but not dehyrate
them completely. It's a nice medium. Still plenty of moisture but
doesn't leak out onto the crust. Great for a pizza topping.

Also...that gas oven will make a perfect batch of yogurt
overnight too. I'm grandfathered in with the pilot light stove.
Probably won't ever find a new one. Or do they still make them?
