May his memory be a blessing to you and your family. <br /><br />My dad was an Irishman who loved to grow beefsteak tomatoes (and of course, potatoes!) in our small backyard. I will make this scrumptious sounding sauce and some homemade pasta, and dedicate the meal to your wonderful father. xoLyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788610902096354682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-61789309687661708122013-07-10T21:03:16.101-04:002013-07-10T21:03:16.101-04:00Thanks to everyone for your kind comments on the p...Thanks to everyone for your kind comments on the post.

I see you in his face.<br /><br />Sometimes I think I'm too eager to make everything about the meat. But veggies have such wonderful flavor.

Wow. I lost my dad years ago and miss him every day. We picked fruit vines together. I understand your pain. <br /><br />Regarding the sauce - sounds yummy. I wouldn't have thought to de-seed the tomatoes. I know how to peel them, but usually I throw in the whole thing. I've got to try this. Daryl Wood Gerber a.k.a.
