The Magnificent Tomato Machine

 


Yeah, I got the last one in world.  We live a frugal life and grow lots of tomatoes.  Then we can them in glass, and the kids steal them all when we aren't looking.  Such a wonderful life.

Anyway, getting old sucks, and I can't wind the manual sauce machine any more.  So, I got this from ammie, and we set it up outside for sauce.  OMG, what perfection!  You don't need to pre-cook, you just cut up the tomatoes and throw them in.  Magnificent sauce, compared to the watery manual method.

The neighbour came over, and brought her tomatoes.  Poof, poof, a bucket of thick sauce.  No need to reduce it.  Just paper-thin skin, and seeds come out the pooper.

This is magnificent.  Have fun with the sore shoulders everyone.  I think people will be lining up at the house.  Tomorrow, we are buying some of those 25 pound boxes at 9 bucks, and playing Italian music while we drink wine, and dance.

This hasn't been as much fun since the neighbours got the first colour tv on the street, in the 60's.
