sabrinamariListening to some great Brazilian muic and feeling much, much better!
Yesterday I felt slow, tired and weak all day, but I took down 3 tomato containers anyway. I just did it reeeeaaaallly sloooooowly. Disassembling tomato trees is quite daunting, even when they've collapsed and shrunk due to excess fruit and fungus. Hauling away the dirt is hard, too.
I harvested about 15 quarts of cherry tomatoes: 5 ripe, 5 soon-to-be-ripe and 10 green.
And yes, it IS possible to make pasta sauce from cherry tomatoes (is that seedmoon squealing in outrage?). I am just reducing it like mad and tolerating the tomato skins. Well, I added portobellos, at least.
Today: I'm saving 2 of the tomato tree containers and just pulling off the worst leaves. I'll get the p[lace ready for mom and dad, and maybe even read a little bit. Dan is coming over to grab my extra Roman Chair this afternoon---I am so glad it's going to a good home where it will be loved and used---and work out in my basement gym on the elliptical trainer.
At the end of the month, I am going to paint my gym light lime green. Hurray!
I am happy. I have a gym and now I really get to focus on using it. The squat rack is beautiful!
Contented.

Date: 2004-08-15 03:23 pm (UTC)Not at all. I made cherry tomato sauce last year. I even through in some heirloom golds and green zebras as well. I had so many that it was the best way to use a ton of them up before they spoiled. I cooked it for two days and still got over a gallon of sauce out of it.
