Happiness Is......A Summer Tomato

Tomato, tomate, tomaat, tomate, pomodoro. I don't think it matters what language you speak, nothing compares to a  sun ripened native tomato.
Aren't these two of the prettiest little tomatoes you have ever seen? They were grown in a galvanized bucket in my yard and they were sweet, juicy and so delicious. I gave them a quick rinse and popped them right in my mouth.  How do you like to eat your garden tomatoes?

  1. There is nothing like a warm, summer tomato from your own backyard. So different from those supermarket tomatoes. I love to eat mine sliced with just a bit of kosher salt.

  4. We just had some from our garden for dinner tonight, along with peas from the garden. There is nothing better then growing you own veggies.

  6. Oh, I so agree with you that there's NOTHING like a sun-ripened tomato. I love them just as they are, or, sliced with cheddar cheese on white bread with mayo. Mmm mmm mmm Susan

  11. It is hard to resist popping the cherry tomatoes into your mouth before you even get into the house. A quick wipe and in they go. :)

  12. I tried a yellow variety like yours a couple of years go and they were amazing - so sweet! I liked to eat them just as they are, or when i have a glut they are lovely gently cooked in a pan with a little olive oil, fresh basil, sea salt and black pepper and whatever you fancy/have to hand - maybe some sweet red peppers, red onions, spinach leaves, bacon, whatever, and then a dash of balsamic vinegar - serve on pasta - simple and yum!

  19. It is very hard to resist a cherry tomato picked straight off the plant and popped into your mouth. So far this year, they are the only tomatoes that have ripened.
