Wednesday night I roasted up the chili peppers and the tomatoes. I was planning on making roasted tomato soup but the tomatoes were so good on their own that we’ve just been eating them as a meal/snack/condiment. I think I’ll make some tomatillo salsa this weekend if I can find the time. Maybe tonight.
The raspberries were out of this world.
Tomorrow we’re heading up to the source of all this organic goodness, Stoneledge Farm in South Cairo, NY. It’s up just north of the Catskills, if I recall the map correctly. They’re having a 10th Year Celebration Farm Visit with draft horses and wagon rides around the field, a Pig Roast (eek), walks around the field and a big pot luck luncheon. I haven’t decided what to make. I want it to be something that will feed a fair number of people yet be ok in the car for two and a half hours.
