LIQUID GOLD.
Grandma Vickie's tomato juice is on a short list of foods that everyone in our family likes. But something terrible happened last winter. Our supply ran dry. I tried making goulash with store bought tomato juice, and tried making chili with V8, but it never tasted right, and we all lamented the loss of Grandma's tomatoes. Okay, maybe that is a little dramatic, but we love the stuff. Corey says he could drink it straight out of the jar, and Carter and Owen always ask for seconds on goulash and chili if it is made with her tomato juice. Liquid gold it is.
We tried to grow our own tomatoes this year to no avail. I think we got about 10 tomatoes off of our 8 plants. But thanks to my folks fruitful plants, we were able to stuff our freezer full of them, and Grandma and Grandpa came from Fremont this weekend to help us can them. We got 17 quarts and 1 pint, but we're already down to 16 after a wonderful meal of goulash and french bread last night. We'll have to ration the rest out over the next 12 months!!
