    You know, someone should tell Shirley to head to her closest farmer's market, or to buy the organic tomatoes that are still on the stems (at a health food market, or even a bigger chain grocery store). Those taste great, and I would be using those to make this recipe. It looks great, and I definitely will be trying it! Thank you!
