I just made my first pie with the 2nd culture and it's awesome. Refresh the page and have a look at the new images.

I agree 100% that's why I grow my own tomatoes.....

Fresh vine-ripened tomatoes, a few herbs from the garden, fresh garlic, salt and pepper - and I always add a pinch of hot red pepper.....
