Tasty Tomatoes
What a surprise this morning- in the middle of the middle of Brooklyn, with trains rattling overhead, lines of people waiting and sweating in the street, fryer smoke wafting by from McDonalds, and car horns blaring, I walked into our little break room to find an entire platter of home-grown tomatoes to share.
My boss had brought these in for all to enjoy- somehow in his Brooklyn home, he has coaxed little fruits of summer out of the concrete and windowsills!
They reminded me of how Mr. Mersy and I used to grow tiny cherry tomatoes on our patio back home in Illinois- each one packed a whollop of a flavor, and we used to eat them, one at a time, our eyes closed to savor the grassy flavor of summer.
These tomatoes also had exceptional flavor and gave a fantastic bite to our pest pasta this evening.
We've really been very fortunate recently when it comes to our food, and I've enjoyed cooking simple, colorful suppers. Here are a few of our favorites:
I hope that you are also enjoying the fruits of summer,
Lots of love,
