Cut the tomatoes, place in a glass rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, add fresh herbs, and roast for hours .
The tomatoes literally melt in your mouth.
Tomatoes on warm bread with fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil.
What I should be doing: I really should be raking the leaves, (I think I will leave that for Gordy).
What I am doing: Wondering what to do with a big bowl of plum tomatoes.
New love: Oven roasted tomatoes, you can add them to just about anything.
FYI: I wish you were here because the house smells of garlic and rosemary.
BTW: The leaves still need to be raked, Gordy where are you?
