My first issue was how on earth to spell "Conundrum". How handy that internet is! I'll be flagging this online dictionary for future reference.

But really, my main issue of the week is what to do with all the cotton-pickin' tomatoes! Or are they tomato-pickin' tomatoes? And we don't even have a garden! My mother is touring London and Paris this week (*sigh*) so my dad keeps bringing over the bounty as he certainly isn't going to eat them all. The problem is, as creative as I am, I am sick of tomatoes, my husband is sick of tomatoes (and he's much more tolerant than I!) and if I'm really lucky, I can sneak a few cherry tomatoes into the baby. Thing One thinks he likes them but just holds them in his mouth or spits them out in no particular direction.

So, here's my tomato list for the past month:
1) Tomato Salad (my own adapted version that's really nothing like this recipe which used among other things, a leftover "string cheese" stick no one liked the texture of)
2) Bruschetta (x2)
3) Bruschetta Chicken Bake (x2)
4) White Bean Chicken Chili
5) Cincinnati Style Chili
6) Chicken Catchatorre (oops... let me check my dictionary....) try Cacciatore

And... I just found out the in-laws are bringing me some nice, fresh, Western Pennsylvania tomatoes from their garden. They'll be here tomorrow. So what's a wife to do? The answer, my friend, is from my dad. I'm freezing them whole! So this winter my family can enjoy fresh Bruschetta chicken, Chili, Chicken Cacciatore... If you have any good tomato recipes I think I need them.

NOTE: Every instance of the word "tomato" was originally misspelled in this post. All these years I've been improperly spelling the plural of "tomato".
