Another gorgeous Saturday morning in New England and I packed the ice packs in the cooler bag. Grabbed my Gran's harvest basket and sprayed on the sun screen. I packed everything in the convertible trunk and set the ipod to...

Making Tomato Paste in Sicily
I've been clearing out my 10 years of cooking magazines, culling recipes, etc. This is one of my favorite photos from Saveur, I thought I had lost it but the issue magically appeared in a heap on my library desk....

The little squirrels have to eat too. They will reward you with their lovely antics :)

But i leave them the lovely peanuts in the shell to eat and store for later AND all the bird seed they poach. I draw the line at my tomatoes. My tomatoes I didn't get last year due to blight. My tomatoes that I wait all winter to plant and lovingly tend. Dang critters.

good luck in the squirrel battle. tomatoes are worth fighting wars over.

I'm just jealous that you have tomatoes ripe enough for the squirrels to eat! I'm still at least 2 weeks out.

Would you like to borrow my shiba inu? He works wonders keeping the squirrels off my balcony and my tomato plants!

LOL! Loved the photo and caption, couldn't help but to giggle out loud.

I feel your pain!

Not that I could ever shoot a squirrel but once upon a time I used to be quite the Annie Oakley with a BB Gun... Maybe you can just take a Super Soaker to the little beasts? Tomato stealing is serious business.

I had to laugh at this. As a child, I watched our pepper plant produce one lovely green pepper for weeks and weeks. A few days before it was ready to be picked, we found the poor thing with a few chomps out of it and discarded on our back deck, covered in dirt. The squirrels had been at it! Being only ten years old, I cried for the loss of that pepper. Now I've learned to laugh about it, though I still feel your tomato pain ;)

So funny! We were fighting the same war this summer. (I'm pretty sure we lost.) Our gorgeous heirloom tomatoes made for some very plump and happy squirrels and chipmunks.
