tomato season that is. whatever will i do? i have had so many incredible tomatoes this summer, that i simply don't know if i can purchase grocery store tomatoes. nothing is better than a farm stand tomato, nothing. well, except if you grow it yourself (something is so rewarding about eating food you have grown). i gobbled up a few tomatoes from lucy's market and had this for dinner with a bottle of wine ( i did share - didn't want to, but i did... the wine that is).
it was a simple dinner of bruschetta and white wine. i grilled several baguette slices, topped with tomato and basil, salt and pepper. that's it.
the basil came from my garden. it's odd because my basil and mint are the only herbs that are still thriving. usually at this time of year i am left with just rosemary. does rosemary ever die?
anyway, i often like to have that cheese and cracker dinner, a big bowl of mussel's, or charcuterie, you know that slow, grazing dinner, where you just stand around and enjoy the company you are with. god i love food.
my point is this...buy seasonal now and enjoy it while you can, for the season is changing and a whole bunch of delicious (root)veggies are next in line...just not the scrumptious tomato.
