Tomatoes are Us!
We've been extremely busy, the garden is in full bloom , above are just a handfull of delicious organic grown heirloom tomatoes that we've picked this week. We have absolutely been enjoying the great flavor these lend to our salads, as well as just eating them raw.
We've had some great experience's with the different types. Our "cherokee purples", are a great mainstay. The "green zebra's", have lived up to their premier billing , and the " creoles " , have been exceptionally tasty, considering they were'nt given a big review from the net. We just had our 1st "Dagma's perfection"; last night, and completely agree on the naming, a beautiful tasting tomatoe for a yellow, with more acidity than usual for a light colored tomatoe.
Made our 1st Ratatoulli this week with all the garden vege's, awsome! The New Jersey Devil tomatoes were a great accent to the dish. We'll be making more of that to freeze for the fall.
There's nothing more satifying, than to make a tomatoe sandwich to quinch that late night snack urge, and feel like your not cheating as much on your diet.
The "Black Krims" are nice, however in all honesty they are not as naturally salty tasting as they have been made out to be. Either that, or I just like a lot more salt.
I'll be making our first salsa tomarrow, and we will commence canning pickles this week. WE have more varieties to review , however some are just now maturing to the point where we can use them in dishe's that they are designed for. To be continued.
