Not a whole lot of cooking happening around here. At least not of the variety I find inspiring to share.
I do think our tomatoes are quite inspiring though. Here is a picture of a tomato salad. Very simple ingredients to maximize the fresh tomato taste.
Tomato
Fresh basil
garlic
salt
olive oil
That’s it! I find tomatoes taste best without vinegar as they are already a bit acidic.
My husband made this one following my directions. I would personally cut up the basil a bit smaller…but this was mighty yummy.

Very pretty. I hate tomatoes, but the yellow ones are gorgeous to look at.

Lovely. I’m wicked jealous that you have a garden.

I’ve never heard of anyone who hates tomatoes…and didn’t you make a soup with a tomato base not that long ago?? there is nothing like a sauce made with fresh tomatoes!!

Um, yeah…I like tomato sauces, I just don’t like fresh tomatoes! I have just started ordering Club House sandwiches with the tomatoes in – I used to request they be left out. There is something about the smell & texture of raw tomatoes that just is gross to me.

I like the yellow tomatoes very much…expensive where I live. That’s a nice salad.
