camochef, this is for you: dry a lot of tomatoes then grind them as finely as you can. It's best if the tomatoes have no seeds, so make sure you squeeze those out before drying the tomatoes. Add to homemade pasta dough (which of course you'll have to make adjusting the flour/eggs proportions). The result will be spectacular!

Octave, I've been dehydrating tomatoes for years in my dehydrator than powderizing them in my spice grinder, after which I jar the powder to use in many different recipes...not just in pasta dough. Lee Anne Wong's book, Dumplings All Day Wong has recipes for purple, red, gold, orange, and green doughs for making your own Potstickers, Gyoza, Won-tons, egg rolls spring rolls and other dumplings. Great book, and like ravioli, lasagna, and other pasta's...so easy to make and freeze. Impresses the heck out of guests the first time you pull a bag out of the freezer and throw them into a pot of boiling water or steam them in chicken broth on the stovetop. Thanks for your suggestion. Enjoy! Camo

I'm finally getting some of my larger tomatoes ripening without cracking! Many of the early ones went into the compost pile, due to severe cracking, from all the rain we had. I'm surprised I'm getting them now - we got 2 1/4" of rain this last week, so it really hasn't let up. Those Sweet Carneros Pink are taking off now, as they did last season. Once they got over the BER, they produced until frost killed them last year, though some got some sign of blight very late. Beauty King was the other variety I grew in the Earthboxes, and a couple of those in each box got BER, but it quickly outgrew it. None of these split (the rain doesn't affect these in the EBs as badly), but I just now got my first ripe one (which might not be totally ripe - not sure yet. Green Cherokee split pretty badly, but it seems to be coming back well. Green Bomb is a varied type - one of the three I planted died, not sure from what, and one of the other two only produced 2 fruits so far. Yet the other plant had 9 ripe ones on it today, with one so much larger I had to check to see if a vine from Green Cherokee had gotten over there! That one is 11 oz., while the rest are around 5-6 oz. Amish Gold Slicer was a free seed pack I got, and unless it picks up the production, or has a fantastic flavor, I probably won't grow it again. Only one ripe fruit per plant, so far. Then, of course, there are all of those cherry tomatoes! I didn't even take a photo of the sunsugars - I have a 3 qt bowl with just those! I have so many cherry tomatoes that I told my neighbors to come over and take what they want - I only have so much time to pick them. My neighbor on one side said she picked about a pint of them in the morning, and in the evening the same plants looked like she hadn't taken anything from them! This weekend I will have a taste test with all of these tomatoes.

I made this tonight and it was very good but I think that I would only use 2 1/2 cups of milk instead of 3.
