Tomato Bee September 1
Announcing a Tomato Bee at the SAP Community Garden
What says "Minnesota" more than the Fair? How about ripe and juicy August tomatoes? However, the abundance of tomatoes presents an annual problem - what to do with them. We think we've come up with solution. We're organizing a Tomato Bee at the Garden (weather permitting) on Sat., Sept. 1 from 11 – 5 pm.
In the spirit of the apple bees of a bygone era, when farmers and their families gathered to peel and core apples for apple butter, neighbors are invited to come together to make old-fashioned tomato catsup. Gardeners, "love-apple" enthusiasts, slow foodies, and devotees of Minn. history: all are welcome and everyone will get a jug of catsup to take home. If you have tomatoes to spare, come early and bring a peck to clean and throw in the pot.
The bee is hosted by Mark Sherman, tomato grower and community garden member, and daughter Nora, a former SAP-per and current Brooklyn resident. Nora is currently cooking and blogging her way through a year of testing and revising traditional American recipes. She's calling it the Great American Cooking Project. Visit greatamericancookingproject.blogspot.com/ to learn more.
The Garden is located on Robbins near Raymond Ave. Write mark [at] shermanhome.com if you're coming. Or just show up on September 1st. If the weather isn't cooperating, the alternate site will be at our house on the corner of Raymond and Doswell.
