The tomatoes never turned red and are slightly tangy and very refreshing. It is too funny how God sends us to work with our hands and in a sense rewards us with hands full of bounty. lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358127485924223732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171290355702509081.post-2109312164346724782014-08-10T12:30:53.537-07:002014-08-10T12:30:53.537-07:00Lindsey, I love this post and we do a similar chal...Lindsey, I love this post and we do a similar challenge on an ongoing basis. I've been practicing zero-waste cooking (planned leftovers, cooking with leftover ingredients, etc) and it's going great. My time in the kitchen is significantly reduced and our grocery budget has fallen by quite a bit. We're eating much from the garden these days and that helps too, plus I'm preserving all the garden overage for later. Even though we only have 2 tomato bushes I'm drowning in tomatoes so I've cooked & canned tomato sauce & pasta sauce, dehydrated diced tomatoes, made tomato powder for use as tomato paste and even made a tomato leather for use in our homemade pizzas. There are more tomatoes coming off the bushes daily so I'll begin freezing them soon. It's funny how your opportunities can be opened when you give thought to NOT wasting food, huh? Gotta love it!
