]]>Cherry tomatoes are delicious, sweet, rich in vitamins, and very healthy. Eating tomatoes can even help fight against infections.
To make a jar full of excellent roasted tomatoes, here is what you will need to do.
A big amount of cherry tomatoes
A pinch of salt
2 fresh thyme branches
Olive oil
Rinse the tomatoes well in cold water and dry with a towel. Place them on a baking sheet and drizzle over olive oil, salt, and thyme.
Bake the tomatoes on high temperature for 20 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft, bubbling, and slightly golden-browned.
Remove from the oven and chill the tomatoes in the pan until lukewarm. Pour all the contents of the pan (the tomatoes, the remaining olive oil, and the juices of the tomatoes) to a clean jar. Add olive oil until the roasted tomatoes are completely covered.
Keep the jar in the refrigerator for 24 hours before eating.
The roasted tomatoes will be best on top of a slice bread, with pasta, or in a salad.

]]>When preparing shrimp cocktail purchase fresh, larger sized, shelled shrimp. You first will devein the shrimp by cutting out the veins along the back center line, but without fully removing the shell. Then rinse and cook.
For shrimp cocktail, you can boil or fry the shrimp but we recommend steaming because there is less of a chance of overcooking the shrimp. As soon as you start to see the shrimp float in the boiling water (after just a couple minutes) remove and put on ice. This is a very fast process.
Allow for at least a half hour on ice and in a freezer for the shrimp to cool.
While you are waiting, make the dipping sauce. The most simple sauce is just ketchup and horseradish to taste. Then make sure to cut some lemon lightly squeeze over the shrimp.
Lastly, pair with a nice cocktail such as a dirty martini or Bloody Mary, and enjoy!
