speaking of Elrond, in The Hobbit, Chapter 3
An Elrond collectible fell out of some laundry in the washer (I was trying to clear out some old packed boxes of miscellanea) and he ended up taking Jasmine's former roost on the windowsill. I'm hoping he brings some summer sunniness to the tomatoes there.
Tons of green and partly ripe tomatoes still on the vine. The garden gets little sunshine now until late in the day, evenings are down into 30's and 40's, it's already snowed once. Time is running out.

Makes 3 or 4 pies, each pie takes about 3/4 of a quart jar. One crust.
i like that this recipe is called "mice meat". when the time comes to strip the vines i think i will try this in the vegan cake recipe (in muffin form). thanks!
