yep - tomorrow evening, tuesday the 11th of october, at 7 p.m., we will have our final 2022 club meeting, AND annual Harvest Dinner. members are asked to bring side dishes, bread/rolls, margarine/butter, salads, desserts - the club will provide the meat portion (lucky us! there is a three-day-old deer carcass (i mean "venison for everyone!") just down the road - it's been fermenting/improving in the post-summer heat, yum), and hot drinks. if you are fortunate enough to have a club-presented Garden Club Gnome in your care, please bring the little guy along for their annual Conclave.
Club member Barbara sent this recipe for Roasted Tomatoes (in case your tomatoes actually ripened!):
Stove temperature = 350 degrees F.
Cut both full-sized and cherry tomatoes to 1/2" thick
Coat both sides of the tomatoes in a bowl, with olive oil, and your favorite herb blend
Place coated tomatoes one layer deep on a parchment paper-lined tray/jelly roll pan
Bake 15 - 25 minutes, or until tomatoes begin to caramelize or turn brown around the edges
When the tomatoes have cooled, place in blender to produce the powder texture you want
Freeze tomatoe slice powder: add to milk and heat for the best tomatoe soup, ever!
also, club members Marlene and Stephanie have an excess of concord grapes - they may bring some tuesday evening, but you can contact them via this e-mail, and talk about harvesting those grapes right off the vine.
finally, club member valerie sent a picture (attached below) of the grinning club members who attended the August garden tour at the North County Food Bank Community Garden. did you miss the touring fun this summer? be sure to watch for 2023 tour developments on our club's facebook page or blogsite.
see you tomorrow evening, jim.
