I always enjoy hearing about the timeless things families do to keep the bonds together. <BR/><BR/>Tomato saucing (is that even a real word?) is a lot more tame and sunshiny than our Easter tradition. We knock the hell out of each other (quite literally) going after plastic eggs in which are candy and money (one with 50 bucks!) that my mom hides. Yes, my sisters, Frank, and I are grown, but ask us if we care. Family traditions are the best.JW Moxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16865232770753428076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937223408953728341.post-30995335245428125322008-09-08T15:21:00.000-04:002008-09-08T15:21:00.000-04:00That is so lovely!

I'm so glad someone, too many glasses of vino or not, thought to reinstate it.<BR/><BR/>I have none, zilch, zero traditions in my family unless you count being late for everything.<BR/><BR/>Yummy! I was feeling pretty good about buying tomatoes at the store to make sauce at home rather than buying jarred with all the additives but now I'm not so sure :)Henniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13619441212339613269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937223408953728341.post-89639060284156671292008-09-07T23:38:00.000-04:002008-09-07T23:38:00.000-04:00LOL!

Some would gather from the garden and some would be waiting on the porch with whatever utensils or contraptions we needed to can it. We had this really neat huge pea sheller thingy and metal pans for corn shucking. When my great grandmother's kids reached an age where they couldn't help her keep up the garden we finally had to stop. Their kids all lived too far away for us to keep it going. This summer mom got the bug and headed to Amish country. We have been canning tomatoes for about three weeks now! The first batch didn't seal but this last batch was fantastic! I can't wait for this winter and I know you can't either!Arianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09674825581862630511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937223408953728341.post-39954527501124228412008-09-07T22:42:00.000-04:002008-09-07T22:42:00.000-04:00What a fantastic tradition.

Photography might be just the thing, provided I get a damn job and can buy a camera. <BR/><BR/>Because, yes, separation from the in-laws will be crucial.

I have heard all the stories about tomato sauce time, & some of his cousins still do it with their parents, but I have yet to experience it. Most of them tell me I wouldn't want to, it's tedious work & they hated doing it when they were kids. But I'm a stickler for tradition, not to mention Italian cooking...! ; )loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937223408953728341.post-47883013979559603502008-09-07T16:30:00.000-04:002008-09-07T16:30:00.000-04:00Oh my G-d--that looks so damn good.
