When they are crispy, crumble them into an air-tight container. They will keep for about 6 months, and you will have super good fresh dried basil to add to all your cooking for the fall.Marienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630094068431104654.post-71871491938341498582011-08-22T10:42:28.673-04:002011-08-22T10:42:28.673-04:00This weekend I wore one of the sundresses you gave...This weekend I wore one of the sundresses you gave me and it was so pretty! I did not tell Rocky where I got it bc I'm pretty sure that would have ruined it for him... LOL. Congrats on getting all the way down to the "never thought I'd get here" size! That is AWESOME. What better 37th birthday present could a girl ask for?<br /><br />Ok.... so for your tomatoes I have ideas!! The easiest thing is tomatoe sauce, which you can make a big batch and freeze. I like to "sneak" extra veggies in there for the kids. Start with some sweet Vidalia onion and a whole bunch of carrots. Cook them on low, covered, in enough olive oil to cover the bottom of a pot. When they are soft, add some diced peeled zucchini and cook for a few more minutes til the zucchini is soft. Then add a bunch of cut up tomatoes and simmer on low until the tomatoes are soft (probably 40 minutes for a big batch). When it is done cooking, put through a blender so the kids (and Scott) won't feel the "chunks" from the other veggies. Then taste and add salt, basil, and/or more olive oil, as you like it. Its super simple and freezes really well. You can add ground meat to make Bolognese, add meatballs, or throw in some shredded cheese for a tomato-ey mac and cheese, use it for spaghetti, etc etc etc.<br /><br />Also awesome: Gazpacho (chilled tomato soup). No cooking, its fresh and zingy and yummy and easy to make. Check on my website for the recipe. <br /><br />I'm jealous!!!! Love the fresh veggies!!!Mariehttp://morecheese.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630094068431104654.post-61852281168757246892011-08-21T17:23:55.153-04:002011-08-21T17:23:55.153-04:00Dina it is possible!

On days I was home alone with dad, he could pop in Sleeping Beauty or The Little Mermaid and have the day to himself. I would just rewind and re-watch until mom got home. We had/have ALL the Sing-Along tapes too ... I'm pretty sure I know all the songs from any Disney movie before 2000, and can play most of the major themes on the piano too (though horribly).<br /><br />And this semester is the happiest I've had in all the years since I started school because I'm FINALLY going to be able to defend my Masters paper and project and move on to finding a big-girl job (as dad calls it, lol)Jess Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05550784978719254483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630094068431104654.post-952676847120156862011-08-18T14:55:52.595-04:002011-08-18T14:55:52.595-04:00Confession...I've never heard of SARAH BAREILL...Confession...I've never heard of SARAH BAREILLES, but I love that sample of her music!
