When life gives you tomatoes

My friend Wayne has 69 tomato plants in his garden. 69! (And this he considers scaling back--a few years ago it was 114.) He knows I love to make homemade sauce, so last week when my phone rang and I heard Wayne's voice saying with a smile "How would you like to make some tomato sauce?," I dropped everything. Wayne had a motherload of 'maters, and was offering me all I wanted. So this weekend I spent a good few hours getting veggies at the farmer's market (a must for my sauce), chopping, stewing, tasting, adjusting--and finally, I arrived at perfection. Mmm mmm good.
