You say Tomato, I say Delicious!

There's nothing like a vine ripened tomato from your own garden, or even better, from a friend's.   I am desperate to eat it, but have to look at it for at least a  day.   Look at the color it makes me so happy.  That's what summer means--fresh produce.  Not from the store, but from the vine. 

I still consider myself a seasonal eater.  When I was as child we ate what was grown each season.  Tomatoes meant June through August.  That's what made them special.
