By Dave TrumanAny tomato lover would probably agree that there is nothing finer than a nice, ripe home-grown tomato in your mouth. There is no comparing the rich, sweet, oh-so-plump goodness that is the tomatoes you can grow on the vine at home with just a little bit of love and care to the rough and tough, bland and sometimes overly processed vegetable in the produce aisle at the local grocery st
I didn't write a recipe, but here exact measurements are not important, and I just wanted to give one example of a use for those slow roasted tomatoes.

Or even a not-so-posh one for that matter.

Salmonella is not a bacteria you would expect to find on a tomato. They are a group of bacteria that live in the intestinal tracts of humans and other animals, including birds and reptiles. But during the past decade, fresh and fresh-cut tomatoes have been linked to more than a dozen different Salmonella outbreaks and nearly 2,000 confirmed cases of food-borne illness in the United States.
