I finally made it to the local farmer’s market. I know – it’s sad it’s taken me this long to get to it. Of course, until a few weeks ago, I didn't know basic details such as place and hours of operation.
I admit I was a little disappointed at first. It seemed there were more people selling soap than there were fruits and vegetables. But then I found the organic heirloom tomatoes - yum! And I’ve been back several times to get more. My favorite so far is the purple/black tomatoes – Cherokee Chocolate (who could pass up a tomato with Chocolate in it’s name?) and Russian Krim.But then the question becomes what to do with such lovely tomatoes? Ah, such a dilemma!
I’ve made some Tomato Vinaigrette plus some Tomato Bruschetta (with some fresh basil and
mozzarella) and have had lots of sandwiches with tomato on them. I'm still trying to find other recipes that use fresh tomatoes. Unfortunately, I think I'm running out of time since the heirlooms are near the end of their season (unless we get some rain!)
