We are finishing up bits and pieces before we hit the road tomorrow. We start with eating up all the salad greens with a bunch of tomatoes, a small piece of cucumber, a little feta, and castelvoltrano olives (we always have a jar of these in the refrigerator.) Along with this John makes garlic toast from our last two slices ciabatta bread.

Salad with tomatoes, cucumber, feta, and olives

I have a container of not enough spaghetti sauce so I blanch and peel seven tomatoes and add the juice and pulp minus the seeds  to the old sauce. I also add a clove of garlic, some pepper flakes, and oregano and cook the old and new components for about 45 minutes. It turns out pretty fabulous. I love pasta!!!
