Are the...uhm...dried up tomatoes sweet, sour, what? I'm curious about the taste since I'm not a tomato fan lol!

EditorialSpace		2011-06-19 04:38:00 PM

I am a lot more simpler than that, and I don't care for tomatoes all that much anyway. I simply take a slice of tomato, sprinkle a little seasoning salt on on it, top it with a slice of cheddar cheese, and place between two pieces of toasted bread. It's really not that bad in a pinch.

your mom's blog sucks subby/mod/admin.

in other news, invest the $20 in a Silpat sheet (aka silicone liner). you can see what one looks like on that blog, below the pictures of the ugly children. it will revolutionize oven roasting of vegetables for you, make you the envy of your friends, and get you laid by hot veggie loving women.

tweek46420: SpinStopper: It didn't say what to do with the garlic. Just look at it?

throw the tomato's away and roast the garlic instead

Love some roasted garlic. Roast the tomatoes, the garlic and some quartered red onions with some salad potatoes. Throw in whatever is in season (it's good with asparagus), coat the whole lot in olive oil, black pepper, celery salt, add anything else that takes your fancy - chilli flakes, black onion seeds, basil leaves, whatever. We make this regularly over the summer months (OK, I'm in Scotland, the summer days), and just use up whatever is fresh. You can't really go wrong with roasting tomatoes, and it's so simple you don't need a recipe. A couple of spoonfuls of this on some tiger bread is great - and no, as far as I'm aware tiger bread has no affiliation with Charlie Sheen or his winning ways.

Thanks, Subby! I went ~~a little nuts~~ way farking overboard with tomato plants this year, so I will need many ideas of what to do with them.

basemetal: My cherry tomatoes have a rough time making it into the house. I usually eat them when I pick them. The others go towards salads and salsa.

/my tomatoes are having a rough time of it this year anyway. We went from early spring to blast furnace in the matter of two weeks.

This. All of it. Typically I TRY to save them on the vine until I have quite a few of them, but I rarely last long enough to get more than 10 at a time, if that. They go inside and get a good rinse and don't even make it to the fridge.

My favorite part was where she thought "infinitesimally" meant "infinitely" as if you can sound smarter just by adding letters to a word. Reminds me of people who say "penultimate" instead of "ultimate."

You do realize that ultimate and penultimate don't actually mean the same thing, right?

Penultimate is one less than the ultimate, not quite the ultimate...

So, one would assume they actually MEAN penultimate...

i've heard penultimate used instead of ultimate in contexts where people want to stress the importance or significance or magnitude of something.

"that was the penultimate insult"
"he was being a penultimate jerk"
"that blog was a penultimate failure"

i think these people heard someone else use "penultimate" and assumed it was somehow even stronger than ultimate.

ChadM89: Yeah... that's not the best treatment for cherry tomatoes.

Low and slow is great for some things, but as is so often the case, little tomatoes benefit greatly from high heat that will caramelize some of the sugars in them.

Here's the best thing to do with them. You will need:

large bowl
sheet pan, cookie sheet, pizza pan, whatever is big and flat
tomatoes (I actually prefer grape tomatoes here, but smallish cherry tomatoes work fine as long as they're about the same size as an actual cherry - don't use the big golfball ones)
kosher salt
black pepper
vegetable oil

Heat oven to about 450 degrees.

Place tomatoes in bowl, drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat.

Place tomatoes on pan and into the oven. In about 10 minutes, shake the pan to roll the tomatoes around. Give another 5 minutes and check, then check every few minutes until done. They should be shrunken and cracked. The juice will have run out onto the pan and begun to caramelize, so around each tomato will be a dark brown ring. The skins will have darker spots where they began to caramelize.

Transfer into a bowl and pour any remaining juice from the pan into the bowl.

Now, unlike the slow-roasted variety, the flesh of these will not be dried out. Nor will they be pale and bland. They're delicious, seasoned, juicy, roasty little nuggets of tomatoey goodness that are excellent tossed onto salads, in pastas, on crackers, whatever you want.

Yes, yes, but will there be any Love Cloud floating?

If this was a recepie for mushrooms, the 'floating on a cloud of love" might make more sense.

THIS.

Try this btw. Lightly toast a bagel. Spread it with plain hummus, then spread with the roasted cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and a little lemon juice. In-freaking-credible.

I sat through a print version of a McDonald's commercial for a cherry tomato recipe??? My Sundays aren't what they used to be...

DamnFool-Idiot		2011-06-19 08:43:54 PM

Thinly slice french bread.

Top with a couple of halved cherry tomatoes, cut side up.

Sprinkle with a little salt and fresh basil.

Top with a slice of gruyere or mozzarella.

Place on a cookie sheet about 10" from broiler.

Broil until edges of bread brown and cheese melts.

Yeah. That works. ;-)

Maybe, but "0" is a direct representation of "zero" and "zero is" is incorrect. You can correct a lot of incorrect sentences by replacing a word with a synonym, but that doesn't make the original sentence correct.

We made about 10 jars of these last year with my super-ultra-mega-giant homemade food dehydrator. They're to die for and can be packed in heated olive oil to last damn near forever. I use them primarily for putting on pizza.
