I've made those before, and yes, they do make perfect snacks. Now if it would just cool off enough for me to be able to contemplate turning on the oven. Oh, that’s an excellent idea, Tom–thanks.

This gives them a much longer "shelf life" -- they freeze nicely, too -- without canning. Or they would if they weren't so good we wind up eating them like candy. Here's a recipe -- very easy and you can do it while you sleep: http://www.cooksrecipes.com/sauce/oven-dried-tomatoes-recipe.html Tom Another thing we do with our bounty is make oven dried tomatoes.

But probably not in large enough quantities to use all of these tomatoes before they go bad. :) I don't have <i>Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone</i> (I have <i>The Savory Way</i>), but a galette sounds very appealing right now, and not just because I'm hungry. I'll look around for a free recipe out there somewhere. We are not spoiled for choice of CSAs here--there aren't many, and they fill up very quickly. I was on the waiting list for the one I joined, in fact, and got lucky when a spot opened up. There are a fair number of organic and locavore farmers here, but only two or three CSAs. Thank you both for the suggestions. Mmm, tomatoes and chevre…I could eat that every day. But probably not in large enough quantities to use all of these tomatoes before they go bad. :)

If I had lots of fresh homegrown tomatoes, I probably make batch of fresh salsa. And gazpacho. At least you joined the CSA. I keep waffling about which one to join until it's too late.

That said, none of it was tomatoes--those, I eat. My favourite thing is thick slices (best halved if they're relatively small) with a slab of chevre on top and then broiled for 5-6 minutes.
