“TOMATOES”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

……………..One of my favorite things to eat in the summer are TOMATO sandwiches….Jac’s mom used to make them for me, and they were the best on Portuguese bread and lots of mayonnaise, salt and pepper!…..Store bought tomatoes never taste like home grown, or as good as the tomatoes from Farmer’s Markets, but I never know where and when they are…..so I’ve planted SIX different plants in huge pots. I also planted a large pot of Basil for my Caprese Salad……yummy…….I don’t usually plant too many annuals, but I love Giant Zinnias, so I planted more than a dozen of them in all different colors. They always remind me of my Mom. She loved them, and would plant beds of them. She always had vases of Zinnias in the house….I guess that’s why I love them too.

    Red onions are the best, but in a pinch I’ll use what ever I have on hand.

    My favorite food is my dad’s home grown tomatoes 🍅. I wait all year for them and have tomato sandwiches and salads from mid July to October. Enjoy them! I use a good cold pressed olive oil and I buy the good balsamic vinegar from Williams-Sonoma and chopped onions and it’s unbelievably good. Don’t forget to add the fresh basil!
