A New Gadget

Oh my goodness, I am in heaven. I agonized for quite a while over whether to get a tomato press. Would it be clutter? Would I prefer the red plastic Italian version at Williams Sonoma or the stainless steel version from NapaStyle?

In a moment of frustration, I sent my Dear Husband into Williams Sonoma for a deep fryer and the red tomato press.

Wow. I have saved myself hours of work. Beautiful tomato sauce gets bagged and goes directly into the freezer. Pulp, seeds, and skin-- all dry-- get placed into the compost.

It's a beautiful thing, especially now that I've got tomatoes coming in. (Romas, finally! Of course you come in once I go back to work!)
