every summer I eagerly await
the first locally grown tomatoes
real tomatoes ~ juicy, jewel-toned and flavourful
thickly sliced
served atop plain toasted whole grain bread
a quick grinding of pepper
a scattering of torn basil leaves
harvested just now from my garden

has simple ever tasted so good?
These are the best tasting tomatoes and mixed with the ingredients,,,,fantastic!!!!
Keeping it simple lets the flavours shine!
I am so with you, Mar. I cannot wait for the season’s first tomatoes. My plants have been a disappointment this year but the farmers markets have been well-supplied and I’ve taken full advantage. And as you just mentioned, a simple preparation is the best!
I’m afraid I’m dependent on the markets this year, as I didn’t plant any tomatoes. Sadly, no room for a kitchen garden in my new yard. Maybe I’ll grow some in pots next year!
Simply divine!
This is summer in every bite! I think the winter feels ever so long, just because we can’t eat like this every day!!
I know what you mean … those winter tomatoes just don’t do the trick, do they?
