I made what may have been my last batch of bruschetta for the season. Hard to say, though, because some of the local farms could still have greenhouse tomatoes for some weeks yet. Big piles of greens went into a Greens Peanut Stew. Cilantro went to a neighbor. The cukes were of pickling kind and are currently sitting in brine. I'm thinking I may pickle (in the vinegar sense) the beets and can them. Those were ten huge beets.

It's also pizza season, so we had some with my homemade dough, homemade roasted tomato sauce, homemade pesto, and homemade cheez! It was damn good, especially with the pesto, which always feels so special. I wonder if I will regret not making even more of it. I think I can still do another batch with the final harvest from my gardens.
