                                                                 It's fall at my house                                                            


dealing with season-end tomatoes 

some nice minestrone soup
might as well freeze some for a cold wet winter night
and how about some tomato bread? 
really yummy, with lots of garlic and fresh basil and olive oil
the italian bread gets crispy on the bottom after baking in a hot oven
and so many cherry tomatoes, what to do???
I roasted mine at 200˚ for about 4 hours
they make a great addition to an appetizer plate
especially if it offers greek olives and feta cheese
our little free library, way out in the middle of nowhere
 look what great titles it offers, can you believe it? 



I made this great artisan bread
it rises for 12 hours, very simple mix
for similar bread:

this recipe actually became quite famous after it
was published in the New York Times
the hardest part is handling the wet sloppy dough
 which results in a chewy texture and a crispy crust
olive oil and sea salt
I  also added some chili flavored green olives, pretty spicy
