Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes! We'll also do an herb garden, with lots of basil and some chives, thyme, rosemary, sage, and mint.

I make stock from a roast chicken carcass as soon as dinner's done -- just toss it in a pot with veggies and let it cook away while we eat dessert and wash up. By the time the party's over and the ktichen's clean, the stock is ready to come off the heat and chill in the fridge. In the morning, I de-fat it and either put it back in the fridge or into the freezer.
