Here's a recipe for gardeners who have too many tomatoes in the summer

I'm definitely going to try this:

Pasta With 15-Minute Burst Cherry Tomato Sauce

Juicy and sweet cherry tomatoes burst open in warm olive oil, creating a luxuriously silky sauce that comes together in minutes.

I like slicing them on a plate with salt and pepper, fresh mozzarella torn in pieces drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar.

If you have too many tomatoes, you can fax them to us.
DW loves tomatoes. We'll put them to good use.

My solution for excess tomatoes is to plant peppers

I'm using tomatoes as my cover crop. So I can pick bushels at a time. I'm going to make marinara and can it. There are precisely three ingredients, and all of them can be grown in ridiculous quantities here.

Never too many tomatoes for me in the summer!
Sliced on a plate or between two slices of bread with a bit of salt any mayo are my favorite and could eat multiple times a day!

We have never had the problem of too many tomatoes cause of our cooler NW spring and short summers. Also low humidity. I also have a shady & crowded yard so only one small spot for summer veggies. That said, this year is the earliest I will get tomatoes ! I planted them outdoors in early May, and May was unusually warm this year.

Add some bacon and cheese and you have a winner!

I have three sweet 100's tomato plants that are already above the tall cages, and it's only been six months since planting them. I already have hundreds of green tomatoes on those plants. I will be giving them away. My stepdad loves tomatoes, he eats with us every night, when we are in town, and so do 5/6 of our kids and daughters/ sons-in-law. Rick and our son Josh cannot stand tomatoes. If a restaurant accidentally puts a tomato on our son's burger, when he ordered without, he will order a new burger. He cannot stand the taste enough to have even a seed or a tiny bit of tomato on his burger.

Ironically, the two love salsa, even some of the fresher, refrigerated ones. Go figure. If the salsa is really fresh, they won't eat it. But they will always eat jarred salsa. Rick is a conundrum because he will eat salsa, but when we are eating marina sauce, he will put the pieces of cooked tomato from his plate onto mine. He does the same thing when he sees tomatoes in green chili. I don't get that at all. When he makes green chili, he pulverizes those canned tomatoes with the Vitamix.

Rick will order burgers with tomatoes and will give me his. He doesn't mind the tomato touching his food. He scrapes the stuff off of the burger as well as he can.
