Probably because they couldn’t bear to give it up (or at least I hope so). When I get a 3rd copy, I’m going to hang on to it.

We got quite a few knocks at our door when we moved in, too: luckily, that has stopped. I understand the motivation but they’re barking up the wrong tree here. (And I am glad you like the blog!)

Kelly: you puffy-heart love that book, if I am remembering correctly! Your sauce sounds just delicious too. I adore cipollinis, but haven’t “given over” to the urge to grow my own; I have enough troubles growing enough storage ones for the winter. Sigh. And I have been known to take down trees for more sun in my garden, so I understand the urge!

Much of my thinking about food and place and home over the past five years has been formed by that reading.

I’m just about to turn the oven off on my slow roasted tomato sauce (with shallots, cipollini onion, red russian garlic and eggplant. I tossed in fresh herbs for the last hour of the 4 hour cooking (opal basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano, greek oregano and marjoram. Smells soooooo good.

But I wouldn’t call it a glut. Just enough tomatoes ready to make one batch. Definitely need to plan a spot with more sun for next year.

Thanks for the link. “Tomato Glut” came in a timely fashion too – right when I’m thinking – wish I had something new to do with all the rest of these tomatoes! I canned, I froze, I made salsa…

The moniker is a pet name from hubby. We live in a small town in Texas – population of 764 southern baptists. I’m an atheist. After they get to know me, they always say “How sweet and goodhearted I am for an atheist” LOL Then they try to convert my me…
So hubby started calling me evilwoman. :)

BTW, I’ve really been enjoying your blog!
