I dried hundreds of tomatoes last year out of my garden. You can grind them into powder and add water/seasonings to make tomato sauce or tomato paste, place them in the middle of a casserole and they will rehydrate as the dish cooks, or you can soak them in olive oil for a couple of hours and use whole on homemade pizza or cut up for sun dried tomatoes in your pasta dishes. <br /><br />I also just cut some dried tomato slices in four pieces and add them like that to soups and stews.<br /><br />I have found this extremely convenient and timesaving!<br /><br />Ain't square foot grand?<br /><br />I enjoyed stopping by your blog.<br /><br />LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630729253136820660.post-2523902236525316842009-05-19T12:49:00.000-07:002009-05-19T12:49:00.000-07:00Wow, the first book was published in '81?

How do those spacing measurements work? I'm only used to the new method, so if he had a different way of explaining how many to put in each square I don't quite know it yet.<br /><br />40 romas?! Want to send some up my way? ;) What are you planning to do with all of those tomatoes? We made lots of sauce last year that was just divine! We had never had homemade tomato sauce before. We almost died right there when we first tasted it.tonksfamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14603084550980160650noreply@blogger.com
