about the Tomatoes

tomato success




the tomatoes are "dried"
and yet: they are still juicy.
you can see how they have
shrunk during their
sleepover in the oven.

undisturbed, they
spent the night on their
bed of salt at 200 degrees f.

the tomatoes

A tomato experiment.
fresh tomatoes
sit in a baking pan,
upon a thick layer of salt.

Then they go to sleep overnight
in the oven.
Lets see how they turn out.

Thank you Max

Last month,
the Knitting Companion
received a surprise birthday
gift package.
among his basket
of goodies was a party hat
and an exceptionally large
and festive cookie.

combination

a yellow pamplemousse.
(grape fruit). i haven't seen yellow pamplemousse
in quite some time. i'd begun

a "rare" fruit.
but i found some.
and they were very juicy.
