Sunday Dinner: An Eggplant is not a Football

Thanks for reading and have a fabulous Sunday!

I needed to make life simpler, so I started a new blog. I know that doesn't seem to make sense, but I've been neglecting this one anyway.

Since the last time I posted I've been places.

This year I planted five types of tomatoes in my garden. But before you say, “Wow, that’s alotta tomatoes,” I have to tell you that I only had 2 - 4 of each kind.

3 Round cherry tomatoes
4 Roma plum tomatoes
4 Black Krim heirloom tomatoes
2 Early Girl
2 Big Boy

So, what did I do with all of my tomatoes?
