Tomato Sauce: an entry in pictures

(Yeah, I’m late today, and yeah I coulda put this in the photo gallery, and yeah, this is all about Sunday morning, and nope my mom didn’t cook Sunday dinner. Today was Monday with a capital M. Maybe I’ll get it all out tomorrow. For now, let’s just say some ISPs sucketh mightily.)

See the lovely tomatoes? Don’t they look happy? Little do they know what is in store.

Oh no! What is the toddler doing? Do her parents reallly let her play with knives?

AHH! Tomato carnage! What kind of horror are these people up to? With children in the room, even!

I love this machine, the Victorio Strainer. I have owned it for a few years, and it still works like new. Making sauce is stupendously easy with it. See how easy it is for Ron to turn the handle AND smoosh tomatoes while I take the picture?

Mmmm…a pot full of sauce. No seeds, no peels. Note the time.

It simmered all day. See? (okay, four hours later, but still.)

Yes, it was as good as it looks.

    So I wnet nad added a link to the machine I have the Victorio Food Strainer . It is AWESOME! I love it.
    Also? I have enough tomatoes ripening away to make around 6 more pots. This was only the first batch! Can you believe we ate the whole pot?

    Okay, that was just cruel. Couldn’t you have waited another week until the only person who can cook in my house (hint: not me) comes back from his business trip to make me a giant pot of tomato sauce?
