Roasted Tomatoes

Well it's September 28 and lookit what came in from the garden today.

So far this summer (and now, fall) I have made tomato sauce,

marinara sauce,

tomato soup (both roasted and non).

I have dried tomatoes in the oven,

dried 'em in the dehydrator (and dried 'em and dried 'em),

and yes, even tried drying them on the dashboard of my car.

Not a capital idea.

And now? I am roasting.

Big time roasting.

It's smelling good and garlicky around here. When I'm done, these roasted tomatoes -- those that escape immediate ingestion, that is -- will go into the freezer to serve over pasta in the dead of winter when I have forgotten what it is to be drowning in a glut of tomatoes.

If you, too, would like to know about the glories of roasting tomatoes, check out this post from Notes from a Cottage Garden. The roasted tomatoes really do taste heavenly.

Please excuse me now. I have more roasting to do.

Lots and lots more roasting.
