Really? Tomatoes? This early on in the game. Put it this way, it was a late night and tomatoes are my "go to" vegetable. I can eat tomatoes, morning, noon and night. I picked these 1/2 pounders up at my favorite new produce market the other day along with some fresh basil. In my eyes, it's practically sacrilegious to not have fresh basil with a nice ripe tomato. It would be like forgetting the jelly in a PB&J sandwich! I had no intention of counting these two beauties as part of my little project but after tossing together a nice caprese salad at close to midnight, it seemed as if I had no choice. And lets be honest, the tomato deserves to be at the top of the line. It's a classic. A staple. An idol in the vegetable world. I know many of you out there are saying " Technically a tomato is a fruit not a vegetable". But seriously, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and sounds like a duck...it's a duck! Or a vegetable for that matter. As we get further into summer, I will be on the hunt for my favorites, the heirlooms! They are in a category all their own and I fully intend to treat them that way.
