I must admit that I am enjoying the changing of the seasons. The days are getting shorter, there is a hint of chill in the air and home gardeners have more tomatoes than they know what to do with. This week, I was the lucky recipient of a bag of ripe heirlooms, and my oregano plant is going gangbusters. Here is a simple and delicious way to use this amazing bounty.
