November Blues

Well, it's November 2 and we finally had to dismantle our garden last week. We had our first freeze, and I had gotten the tomatoes off a few days before. They are sitting in two bowls: one red, one green. I don't eat them anymore the way I did in August, sliced with salt, savoring every bite. This year, we had such a good yield that for the first time I decided to cook some of them (I found that to be a sacrilege before this year).

So, we will have the last of our red tomatoes this week in a pasta recipe with sausage, tomatoes, spinich and cream. I'll only simmer the tomatoes in the cream long enough to make the sauce pink.

And maybe I'll put aside one last tomato to slice and eat raw with salt. It's going to be a long wait til next August.

Helloooo!

I was going to post a recipe for this great vegan chocolate cake I made last week, but alas, I see your food blog is taking a hiatus. Let me know if you resurrect it.
