Tomatoes, Leeks and Basil
Tomatoes Processed and Leeks Cleaned
The trick with the tomatoes is to cut them in half, take out the seeds, then crate the flesh out with a box grater. All you will have left are the thin skins. Much, much easier than the parboil, skin, seed method.

Leeks Sauteing in Olive Oil with some Black Olive Paste
I later deglazed with a little white wine

Tomato Puree added with Basil, Salt and Pepper
The Finished Dish
I actually made the sauce in the same pot as the one I cooked the pasta in. I put in the cooked pasta and let it cook with the sauce for a couple of minutes and added a little fresh grated Parmigiano Regiano

Wife meanwhile added the berries to some cantaloupe, grapes and cherries
The whole process took us 45 minutes.

yum~! i will definitely be tryingyour tomato processing method. as soon as my dang tomatoes ripen..;)
bon appetite!
Looks terrific! I love this part of the summer, because the produce doesn't need anything from me. If I'm too tired to do anything interesting, I just boil up a big pot of corn and eat it plain, or eat tomatoes with olive oil and salt. Because it's all so naturally perfect right now.
Look at that fruit bowl!! Awesome.
Michael... just thought I'd drop you a note.
I'm helping a guy through the donor process. He's coming to me for advice, questions, etc.
Very special man. He's doing this anonymously. He was expecting to be donating to a relative. The relative stayed healthy and is not in need so Chris is going ahead with it anyway so the hospital is searching for a valid recipient.
I told him he's pretty amazing.

That looks really good.
That looks delicious! And I think I could actually do something like that with the veggies from our own garden. Might give that a try tonight.
Wow... that looks so good. We don't have a vegetable garden, though. :(
We don't have a garden...but we were talking about how we would like to have one when we get a house someday.
I wasn't really aware of the tomato process. I've made my own sauce a few times for pasta, but it's been the kind where I buy the canned paste, etc and mix it instead of just buying Ragu. Someday I'll try it with FRESH tomatoes.
