ofearthandstars: (chocolate cake)

Although my tomato plants are long gone, my mother has amassed a small army of tomato plants and therefore gave me about a zillion tomatoes yesterday. This has made me all kinds of giggly happy while at same time leaving me worried that they'll spoil before we can eat them all. So I got to making some fresh salsa:


(The jar is reused.) This will go with our seitan & portobello fajitas tonight. (Which reminds me, time to get the seitan out of the freezer). I'm also thinking about making some marinara.

I also got around to making this Great Apple Cake, which is not made with tomatoes, but secretly contains a can of Great Northern beans:


I meant to take a photo before we dug into it, but small people were shouting excitedly around me so I surrendered and gave them pieces to stop. It is so moist and good, I had to fight L. off of it to save some for dessert. :P

I am also cooking up some fresh vegetable stock (not pretty enough for a picture AT ALL), and working on drawing up the dinner menu.

My only other accomplishments today have involved a Week 5 run for C25k, mopping the kitchen, and washing the towels. I've been going back and forth between other work tasks and doing them bit-by-bit, as I really didn't want to work all weekend, but have some work-related stuff that needs to get done. *sigh*
