Another Day, Another Batch

The Worster family lives on pasta. (Just ask our ex-au pair) The kids love pasta of any shape, size or sauce. Steve and I are a bit more picky, but with it being tomato season, it's pretty much marinara. Although I do agree with Barbara Kingsolver regarding the rewards of preserving the harvest, I am at the time of year where it seems like a grind. Tonight, chicken broth simmers on the stove as does another pot of marinara sauce. I thank whatever brilliant people invented the freezer, since this means I do not have to can the aforementioned items. The rest that will come in late fall, between the end of the harvest and Thanksgiving, will be very welcome.

Now, do I buy that extra bushel of tomatoes or not???
