Attack of the Killer Tomatoes...

I wish every day were Saturday...Yep...people would be happier..well, perhaps not those that work weekends...Oh, well...I briefly, and with little effort, tried..At least I said it out loud...it's a start.  E.V. and I ran errands.  I bought a new hoodie, and we got tomatoes from the house.  And, we cooked..  I have been laughing and giggling all night..Half Baked...ahhh, I love the internet..and Half Baked is just as funny as Leon Phelps..Again, I tried to be mature..I did...for reals..This evening, I will make my meal using an avocado, an ice pick and my snorkel....Watch me, if you have doubts!

"Ya know, Mama...I didn't know that horse was a diabetic..."  She's a smarty-pants...

We should focus on tomatoes...even though I am surrounded with distractions, of the chainsaw juggling variety...Tomatoes...from the house..Jeff had some to share...lots one might say...they are absolutely beautiful...

For the record..I played an integral part in these tomatoes...I planted tomato starts all spring...SO much so, I developed tomato elbow..It was not fun...I now have more fun..Time to blog and do many things... No complaints..Although others may disagree...teehee...

"Mama...get yo' smelly foot outta my face..And go get my food...Oh, and make it snappy!"  What a sass...The NDA does allow her to take shots at my feet...it was a difficult negotiation...but you have to pick your battles, no???

While out and about, we hit nothing,  except for a small, elderly woman on a scooter..but no one was around, and it was dark..so it doesn't really count, and we fled the scene...hahahahahah...I'm kidding... We really made grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup...  I'm just wound up....it's this chainsaw juggler...blame him...that and, Cake....my new thing this evening...It's been a long time....  Shall we proceed..

Dirty tomatoes require a bath..of sorts..And I'm the kinda gal to make sure these sorts of things happen..

Again..aren't they pretty...yet they have no idea..

Marjoram, basil, oregano, garlic, thyme and rosemary, sugar, olive oil and balsamic vinegar...drizzled atop tomatoes...that, my friends, is the beginning of some beautiful soup!

Tomatoes...post bath...in case you were wondering....they then move along...to be doused in herbs and such..they have zero complaints...nor should they...I was an excellent host..spectacular...one might say...

Ta.dah....roasted tomatoes...They smell heavenly...

Then the hard work commences....they need to be strained...and peeled...my blender had let me down earlier this week, so....shall we begin... because it was an arduous process...one I wish to not repeat...(I will be purchasing a blender tomorrow..)

We are getting closer to soup...Again,...I sense a joke, my nose is twitching..however, I will let it go...just this once... it is not easy.....hahahahahaha

We had grilled cheese to accompany the soup..Shocking, no???   However, it was delicious.....

Sourdough bread, cheddar, mozzarella, provolone and pancetta...shall we not forget, butter...mmmm...scruptious....like chainsaw jugglers...

Shazam...wow...mmmm bop....soup!!!  To the roasted tomatoes, I added cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, butter, tomato paste and a little sugar.  All to your own taste, of course.

To cook a sandwich of such importance...it did require the skills only the Skillet of Justice could provide...I do not disappoint....so here we go, my friends...

Casper decided it was best to stay out of this one...It's all Quinn's fault....the pen..she, like Felix the fan, has these issues..and there was this other thing...Oh...I will STOP...it's like an episode of Days of our Lives...

"Ya know, Mama...things would move along much more smoothly if you....alright..I'll stop...BTW....how is that chainsaw juggler????...I've been thinking about him..he is awfully cute and such...just askin'..did he win the contest??'"
Ah...ehm....my friends...dinner is served..

Grilled cheese with homemade tomato soup...Ultimate comfort food... The Bee's knees..  Makes me wanna jump up and shout now...scream a bit..put on a cape...shake some booty...play air guitar and drum...wear a crown...

hunt down a certain chainsaw juggler....go crazy!!!  Soup....it does a body good...

We'll be here tomorrow...Yep....oh, no...I know..We will.  Please join us...You won't be sorry..Nope.
