It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while
eating a homegrown tomato.

s it really the end of
August?
The gardener is an
optimist. He plants tiny seeds and hopes
that they will grow big and strong and produce enough food to put by.
But he is also a
realist. He knows that some seeds won’t
sprout. And even the strongest plants
will bend, break, and wither from violent summer storms, triple digit summer
days, and voracious critters. Still he
plants, waters, composts, and hopes. And
throughout the summer, he watches and learns.
And if he’s lucky, he
eats the fruit of his hopes.

This should be renamed
simply Summer Tomato Salad. Epicurious
is one of my top recipe “go-to” sites.
This is a great salad to use up any remaining tommy toes, peppers, and
cucs you have. My cucs are winding down
in production, as are the tomatoes. I
don’t have parsley or mint, so I use arugula and cilantro. I know ~ either love it or hate. Well, I love it.
Enjoy!
Oremus pro invicem,

I have a lot of tomatoes too! I have been making a lot of pasta sauce and freezing it. I love to steam up some fresh green beans and then sauté onions,garlic and add the tomatoes in and add the beans..Stewed beans. I add herbs and red pepper flakes. I am making my own V8 style juice with them too in my vitamix blender. Yum!
