I have gotten a bumper crop of tomatoes

Ripe tomatoes in the middle of June?

I remember when my wife and I first married. She was trying to make her mom’s sauce (which is great.) I came home from work and she was peeling the tomatoes. This had been going on for hours, and I could see there were still several left. She was clearly frustrated and asked if I could help.

Being newly married, and thus willing to do ANYTHING to help, I said sure.

She left the kitchen for a few minutes. In the meantime I put some water in a glass bowl, got it really hot in the microwave, dropped in the tomatoes and then dropped them into the cold water.

All in all, the process took about ten minutes.

She cried when she came back.

Her mother never taught her how to cook. It was a shame.

We have a large Mennonite community here abouts and they have fresh grown tomatoes for sale in late April/first week of May in mid-Missouri.
