Today we received a lovely assortment of green and red leaf lettuce, tomatoes including some heirlooms, purple peppers, more cukes!, cantaloupe, yellow watermelon and yellow squash, a new one for us!
Tonight I set about making sauce of our extra tomatoes ( my husband worked the CSA site today) and I have some pots bubbling away on the stove. I used tomatoes, onions (thanks Debbi for that swap last week!) garlic left over from last week, purple, red and green peppers, yellow squash (I don’t like squash very much but it makes good sauce) and some mushrooms we had kicking around the fridge that were getting old and dry. I put in a couple of bay leaves, sugar, salt and red wine and are ready to put in our freezer some lovely sauce for later.
My son came downstairs as I was starting the sauce to ask his dad how to turn off his new alarm/radio clock and stopped mid-sentence to ask him, “What smells so good?”
Seriously, does anything smell better than onions, peppers and garlic simmering on the stove?
Well, maybe cookies but it is right up there.
Happy eating!
