eagle food & wine festival 2013

tonight was the

eagle food & wine festival

if you live anywhere near eagle,
this event is one you shouldn't miss.
great wine, great food, always a good cause,
and the tickets are just forty bucks.

tomatoes for days

i have processed nearly ten flats

of these gorgeous tomatoes

from our csa, earthly delights farm

i core & chop the tomatoes,

then mix in some chopped onion, garlic,

salt, pepper, olive oil.

i roast them for hours.

first at 350°to get things cooking,

then turning down the heat to about 275°

for a s-l-o-w roast.

after the roasted tomato mixture has cooled,

i pour it into loaf pans & freeze

for gorgeous meals

{like this one} all winter long.

after they are frozen,

i remove the "bricks" from the pans.

i wrap them in parchment paper

and place them inside a plastic bag.

♥

supersize me

i use mason jars for everything.

awhile ago, i saw giant ones here,

and today i made it happen.

bigger is better, sometimes.

like now.

thinking i might need this.
or this.

♥

overdone

not enough down time this week.
it feels like physical hunger, achy pangs,
when my need for quiet solitude isn't met.

♥

clothing

i need to be comfortable.
all the time.

there's a style that's mine.
i know it when i see it.

these things have got me thinking...
