Attack of the killer tomoatoes

At the beginning of the summer our friend Rasa gave us 6 tomato plants. We thought nothing of this and happily planted them in our little 5'x5' garden along with some cucumbers and basil. Now, our tomatoes are taking over. Every few days we harvest about 6-12 tomatoes. Do you know how hard it is to figure out what to do w/ them?? So far in the freezer I have 12 (yes 12) containers of spaghetti sauce that average 15 oz each (that's about 3/5 of a jar of store bought) and 8 bags of cut up frozen tomatoes (that's equivalent to 9+ cans of store bought). Plus I have given away 6 tomatoes and 2 containers of sauce, and we aren't even close to being done w/ what's coming on the vine! Ahh!!! Here's a pick of the killer tomatoes taking over the freezer.
