Set oven to 200 degrees, core tomatoes (I love Early Girls for this), slice in half lengthwise, and place skin side down on a heavy cookie sheet. Brush, rub, or drizzle all tomatoes with olive oil. Sprinkle on some good salt and roast for about four hours or so. Remove whenever they look good and a sample tastes to your liking.Denise | Chez Danissehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418226690328176970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-89582601481706153992010-09-15T16:16:21.056-07:002010-09-15T16:16:21.056-07:00Aren't you back yet?

So go for it... your wild is someone else's mellow. It's all relative. The important thing is to push your boundaries in ways that make you grown and learn. Be interested in yourself, care for yourself, and be just a little daring.Miriam Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05470288980196124539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-89261640729918082642010-09-08T08:53:02.536-07:002010-09-08T08:53:02.536-07:00I'm constantly trying to balance the wild and ...I'm constantly trying to balance the wild and the wise but especially when he just left in a cab and tomatoes are roasting, how about letting the wild child out?
