Free, free, free!

After our wonderful WhoCares retreat, I stopped at my parent's house and my aunt and uncle's. Here is the produce I scored:
3 large zucchinis
6 Beefsteak tomatoes
a bowl of cherry tomatoes
10 cucumbers
a bowl of okra
1 large watermelon
1 cantalope

P.S. I loved that sliced tomato with some sort of relish on it that Bob and Mark served Sunday morning. Any idea what the relish was??? So yummy.

I just simmered the tomatoes down into a pasta sauce:
Saute 4 cloves minced garlic in 3 T. oilve oil. Add 4 large chopped tomatoes, seeded. Cook until broken down, about 10 minutes. Add some chopped basil, salt and pepper. Toss with pasta. Easy. Yum.
