Tomatoes are starting to ripen in my garden. I am now getting about five per day of almost perfect tomatoes. I eat tomato sandwiches using my new Psyllium bread toasted. The main joy is cutting off the heal and toe of the fist sized fruit and having four to five perfect slices without any rind. During the off season one utilizes every scrap of a relatively inferior product. Summer to me is fresh corn on the cob and sliced vine ripened tomatoes. And cucumbers and watermelon. Almost old enough to have the day's decision making down to whether I will have one piece of toast or two for breakfast. Edited by Durgan, Jul 31 2015, 06:44 AM.

You really know how to torture a guy. (The only way for me to get any taste of REAL tomato these days is to buy cherry or grape tomatoes...they taste a LITTLE like I remember. The red balls that LOOK like tomatoes taste like cotton.) When I grew them, I would eat tomatoes the way someone eats a peach...with a little salt between ginormous bites. |

Field tomatoes and Ont. corn and peaches are in the flyers today and I'm really looking forward to the tomatoes. I had peaches this week and put some in the freezer. There's nothing as good as local produce, even after freezing it. |
