I have a magical device that mechanically separates the pulp from the skin and seeds. I suppose that would would perfectly well on previously frozen tomatoes, as well. This no prep freezing technique may work for me after all. Cool.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I use all parts of the tomato. And by use I mean nom.

I bought seeds to plant today, but I forgot to get potting soil. The seeds i got said I could plant tomato seeds now for fall harvest. People think yes?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
STUPID WORK IS FINALLY DONE

Yay for doneness, sorry for the still stupid.
In Texas, I'd think yes, msbelle.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Not unless you live someplace that stays pretty warm, msbelle. Tomato flowers need a night temp range from 55 - 77F to be successfully pollinated. Too hot and they won't fruit. Too cold and they won't fruit. (I have personal experience with the cold end and a published gardener I know of has experience with the hot end.) I wouldn't be planting tomatoes from seed now unless I lived in a very mild winter area. (Actually, even here in LA I bought 4" tomato starts a week or two ago because I didn't trust waiting for seeds.)
But, having said all that, if the seeds are cheap and you feel like experimenting, go for it.

A picture from our day with Hubby's daughter and grandkids. I love the accidental composition.

That's a great one!
While trying to look up what kind of praying mantis it was I saw in the yard a couple days ago, I saw this neat bit on a hermaphroditic butterfly: [link]

The garden calendar I just found online for this area of Texas says to plant your Fall garden next week, so I think I am good. I am going to buy potting soil tomorrow and start the seeds inside the mud room in little pots. go go garden!

I didn't know you'd moved to TX. TX offers a pretty good chance of being able to get in a harvest or two before a frost kills them.
