Tomato or Tomatoe

I've been trying to keep myself busy so I don't have to think about how much I miss Matt while he is gone elk hunting in Colorado.  I heard that there was a tomato field in town that was all you can pick because it was in foreclosure.  On my way home from a birthday party I saw it being disked so I pulled over and started picking what was left!  Ha ha!  My friend and I came home and roasted them.  You can use it as a spread or pasta sauce.

Recipe:
Slice tomatoes and spread them on a cookie sheet covered in foil paper for easy clean up.  Drizzle olive oil over tomatoes and sprinkle with salt, pepper, sugar, rosemary and thyme.  Mix with hands.  Cut the top of a garlic head, drizzle with oil and bake for 45-55min at 375 degrees.  Puree roasted tomatoes and garlic.   I used one garlic head with three cookie sheets worth of tomaotes.





 i couldn't decide which "bag" photo i liked more, so i included all of them:)



for dinner we enjoyed trader joe's organic tomato red pepper soup to keep with the tomato theme.  on the right is the tomatoes and garlic pureed.
