I don't often leave comments on YT videos. I subscribe, share, and assume you can feel my love from Texas. But I felt moved to pause the video right in the middle and let you know what a difference you have made in my life just now. I'm disabled and part of that is having limited use of my hands some times. It's unpredictable and worsening, but I'm the kind of person who tries to carry on with things I love to do. Like gardening. But I had to bail on my garden last summer due to unexpected side effects of cancer treatment. I didn't even watch your videos for a few months, which is how I'm just seeing this now. I'm planting again this spring with so much hope in my heart, but I'm forcing myself a little bit because I don't want to have my heart broken again. The technique you shared for coring and scoring your tomatoes to freeze and peel gives me confidence that my family can use what I grow even if I have a bad hand day (or week). Coring and scoring is easy enough that my kids could do it. I've got lots of freezer space and a huge rotation of freezer bags I clean and reuse. You just changed my whole outlook, just in time for the garden planning I'm doing this week. No more fear of being overrun with tomatoes that will get old before they're used, I've got a great trick for getting to them when I can WITHOUT PEELS! I'm going to plant the varieties I want and let'em rip! I can't wait to be canning! When you speak of your heart for sharing gardening, I want you to know that it's working. Thank you.
What gorgeous bounty! You pronounced confit perfectly. Bruschetta is pronounced "bruce-ketta". The ch becomes a k sound. That's the correct pronunciation, a la Italiana! Buon provecho! Eat well!
Julie & Julia is one of my favorites! Haha! 🙂
It's "brew-sketta." Ch is pronounced like k in Italian. Like "zoo-keeni."
I roast all my tomatoes and freeze them untill I'm less busy in the winter to can the sauce. So all summer I roast them peel them and throw in any other extra veggies like squash, small peppers,eggplants, beets,carrots especially the small ones I call it garden sauce and I just defrost all the bags and blend them up. it's a great way to use everything and get my kids to eat everything and it comes out nice and thick.
Shortcut: put the cut garlic in the olive oil before you fry the bread in it. You can push the garlic off to the side or remove it before putting in the bread.
Love all this so much!! Have you ever tried it on spaghetti with bruschetta on it!? I make it the night before even with the salt so make it release so if it’s juices! Then cook noodles and too with bruschetta! Throw it in the microwave for a minute with mozzarella on to! My fav!!
I love love love Bochetta but I Like Balsamic vinegar…
Love it!! Such a fun clip of your “tomato” season… I’m already up to 20kilos of small cherry tomatoes! Loads of salsa… bruschetta – sauce
Oh man I love making fresh pico. However, I eat it faster than I can cut it up lol
it is brus Ketta…..
Okay, now I'm going to have to ask if I can adopt you as an adult child. You are just so adorable and I love the way you think and relate to gardening, cooking, canning, eating. Now I'm just dying for that fresh bruschetta!
Watching May 2021…. dreaming of making this with all the lovely new varieties you have introduced me to. Dr. Wyche's, Paul Robeson, etc to get to try in this!
Do you still have con?
I loved that movie.
We have a 1 yr old Cane Corso that is exactly the same …even with his training he is still 100 mph most of the time outside…such a beautiful Dane and garden.
This is fantastic!
TY soooooo much for this… this is our 1st big tomatoe harvest & it's a bit overwhelming! This will make it manageable
Thank you for the tip on how to freeze the tomatoes for processing or cooking late. My vines are loaded and it hard to find the sealing lids at any of my local stores right now.
Its like a fancy tomatoe sandwich
Great tip! I’ll try that and I’m thinking of fermenting some extra tomatoes, never tried anything fermented before but everyone says it’s good
♥️
The food grinder that she uses?? Does anyone know? Thanks!
Have an awesome day!!
Please get to the point of this You Tube, enough about dogs, we all have one, we have no time for this S&^t
You have such a pure laugh, it’s honestly infectious. Love all your videos, 1 of the few channels I can watch hours of when I’m doing my daily stuff!
