I picked one already that was orangish in color and it was really good with olive oil! Some others were on the ground so I picked those so they wouldn't get bugs. But they are green. Will they ripen in my kitchen by themselves?

Yes,put them in a sunny window wher it's not too hot stem side down however they are much better if ripened on the vine. Next year mulch heavily and cover the mulch with old carpet, towels, or anything else that is porous.

Put them in a bag with a ripe apple ( seriously! ) the etyhylene gas emitted by the apple helps to ripen the tomatoes.

Probably if they are in the sun, but, then you lose the goodness of the flavor.
My favorite tomato is green and fried!
