July 16, 2012 -- tomato sauce leftovers

So what do you do when you're back in Virginia, it's sweltering outside, and you don't want to get the house too hot? You make tomato sauce! #@!  This was truly not wise, but it's what I did today, and here are some of the leftovers on the windowsill.  The container is an oregano jar (contents of which I emptied into the tomato sauce), one tomato (sitting on the oregano jar lid), and some basil flowers (leftover after I harvested the leaves). The only thing missing (apart from the red wine and other veggies)  is the truly wonderful smell of the tomato sauce simmering downstairs!
