I officially have 3,829 ripe tomatoes on my counter.
After eating tomato sandwiches, yummy bruscetta, and healthy tomato, mozzarella & onion salads daily...I am down to 3,751 very ripe tomatoes.
So in order to get out from under this quickly-ripening-soon-to-be-rotting-if-I-don't-take-drastic-measures tomato apocalypse, I am trying my hand at making homemade tomato sauce.
Belle remarked, "Is this your first time making tomato sauce from tomatoes?"
"Yes it is", I answered proudly (first mistake).
"Well, since it is your first time....", she said matter-of-factly, "don't expect it to be good."
"Okay. I won't."
I guess it's good to keep expectations low.

if you are going to be a big time gardener - you DEFINITELY need to start canning. It sounds scary but I've done it, and if I can do it ... well, you can for sure. A few years back (when I only had one kid ...) I canned tomatoes. It is messy and takes some time but I was so glad to not waste them all!! And then you can use them all winter long! (and make sauce in smaller quantities if necessary). You could also can all that tomato sauce too!
