I ended up using them as a base for a bean soup.<br /><br />I also have to comment that I really love your site, and have cooked several of your dishes. You really do an awesome job, thank-you.Clifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402028157373577571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-16479322657912720322016-01-04T22:36:32.517-05:002016-01-04T22:36:32.517-05:00Hi Chef John,

But don't give up, just slice the cherry tomatoes in half.<br /><br />I did that, and dried them at 250° F, and made an amazing, sweet, dried tomato product.<br /><br />There was a bit of carmalization, and some bitter notes, but nothing like the dried tomato products that taste so bad.Clifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402028157373577571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-30370300399502254262012-03-18T00:44:37.509-04:002012-03-18T00:44:37.509-04:00Chef John,

Humor. You can't get a better tag line for the finish of this video. "Do not go to the blog. I don't deserve it." Oh, the poetic irony. We were in stitches. <BR/>2. Humility. Any aspiring chef or home cook needs to have the curiosity to try new things and have them fail. It is highly encouraging to know it still happens, even to the professionals!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the giggles.
