Processed a few Big Ones Yesterday.

ContainerTed · July 22, 2012

These all went thru the seed saving processes and, after a couple of sandwiches, on to the 'Juice" process yesterday. Yeah, I know, why waste a large one on juice when there are sandwiches to cover?? The answer is that there are only so many sandwiches one can eat and, I'm really trying to lose a few pounds.

Anyhow, the fridge is full of sandwich-sized toms and I DOOOO like my juice in the winter. Enjoy the eye-candy.

BTW, that scale is metric.

WOWEE! Metric is 2.2 lbs to the kilogram. Those are big!

Beautiful tomatoes Ted! I bet they were so tasty... tomato juice from home-grown tomatoes sounds absolutely delicious!

Fridge ?!? Nooooooooooo.....

ContainerTed · July 22, 2012

Tracy, I put them in the fridge because both the DW and I like them cold in salads and such. I also like them cold on sandwiches most of the time. I can eat tomatoes by the bushel, but the rest of the family does not share my love and only eats them occasionately. Every now and then, I replace those with newly harvested ones and send the old ones to the juice process.

Very well done, Ted!

Those tomatoes look like they were well cared for! Very nice!

But I do think the Old Bulgarian could be a potential candidate in the Ugly Tomato Contest, depending on what angle you shoot it at!

ginger,

The tomatoes are 700 grams =/- or over one and a half pounds. Still large tomatoes.
