Last year I grew a bunch of yellow pear shaped tomatoes (https://mckenzieseeds.com/collections/vegetable/products/tomato-yellow-pearshaped-organic). They were quite delicious and prolific. Yesterday I took the last of them out of my freezer and made sauce with them. It's delicious. This year I'm growing 4 of this variety, 4 San Marzano Roma, and 3 Brandywine. I'll be making a lot of sauces and freezing them.
#cosocooking Do you have a favorite kitchen implement that you treasure and won't let anyone else use? Mine is this maple spoon that I've had since the early 80s. You can see that one edge is worn from being used hard.

The start of today's kitchen adventure.
The tart shells, made with finely ground raw almonds, will be filled with home made lemon curd, topped with raspberry (from garden) glaze and, if I have the energy, merengue (gotta do something with the 4 egg whites :) ) sugar substitutes used - stevia in the dough and monk fruit in the curd
I should have used straight almond flour but far too expensive.
Dinner tonight. I make some odd pizzas π€£ yellow tomato sauce & tomatoes, Calabrese sausage, refried beans, pesto, 4 different Italian cheeses (Pecorino, Provolone Piquante, Asiago, Romano)
Today's baking - 2 loaves of 100% WW bread and a cinnamon, banana, blueberry (from my garden), WW bread pudding.
Years ago I ran my own blog for a decade or so and as I like to cook I had the following as part of it:

tonight's dinner prep - fresh mozza, basil and tomatoes from the garden, sliced garlic Genoa salami
