What’s for Dinner?

My poor tomatoes…they got left out of the photo. I think I had set them on a pedestal elsewhere, to bask alone in their tomato-ey brilliance. Suffice it to say, despite the nasty weather outside, these large, deep orange, heirlooms were really a high point of the CSA bag-unpack.  Especially alongside some more fall-ish veggies. The grizzly storms ahead are inspiring soups, slow-cooker stews, and smothered pork. Amazing how tomatoes can fit right in there!
