Outpost Meals

One of the meals that was a regular on my mother’s dinner menu was a vegan dish that was mostly our garden tomatoes, simmered for an hour or so, along with the basil, carrots, corn, onions, and peppers we also grew. For dinner, we’d fill a bowl with noodles and top them with a ladle full of her delicious not-spaghetti-but-better! ragu sauce.
