Our last Indian
tacos sale, at Church of the Indian Fellowship, was a success! Many fry bread amateurs came and visited us!
This time,
April, one of our Elders fried the bread with the help of two of our young
members, Angelina and Elizabeth, while I was serving our customers with the
help of our deacon Monique. Another Elder, Tony, made the dough before dawn
that day. Irvin was the cashier. It was fun to see our friends and also many staff
members of the Puyallup tribe, whose offices are nearby, come and have lunch or
take many to-go orders for their colleagues.
Then Irvin
and I found ourselves with lots of tomatoes on our hands. This was a
communication issue: my cell phone dropped dead just when Irvin was about to
tell me that someone else volunteered to bring the tomatoes. So I purchased
them too! And now, I am trying to find ways to use them before they lose their
freshness.
When we came
home from the sale, tired and bringing home the fry bread smell with us, I
found a good recipe of tomato soup. It comes from a food website called “12
tomatoes”, a promising name…
This recipe
suggests roasting the tomatoes in the oven before transforming them into soup.
Another tasty idea: slices of bread, one side rubbed with olive oil and up
under the grill in the oven. When it is nice and golden brown, switch the sides
and put shredded cheese on before putting them back under the grill. Then
assemble two by two to have grilled cheese sandwiches or cut in cubes for
croutons.

Only 18
tomatoes left! To be followed….
