Tomatoes August 25, 2007

My work friend Kitty gave me these six beautiful tomatoes from her garden!
So I was thinking this morning what I was going to make with them, and boing! The answers came into my brain! Salsa (garlicky, not peppery):
Hmmm, I made it a little runny (I like it chunkier) but hey, I haven’t made it in a year! It is still good!
And a huge bowl of Tabouleh!
Hmmm, this looks a little runny, but I followed the recipe to the letter!
And here they are together for my small supper since I wasn’t that hungry (it’s too hot to be hungry):
Believe it or not, I only ate half of everything here, because, let me tell you, Tabouleh and Salsa flavors do not mix well in my mouth. Lesson learned for next time! Salsa for lunch, Tabouleh with dinner! I calmed my mouth down by having a frozen mango bar.
As a side note, when I was out picking my spearmint for the Tabouleh, it was kind of scary because there were all sorts of flying pollinators all over the mints in my mint garden. I finally found some stalks that weren’t occupied. Out of the corner of my eye I spied some bluish-black airplane wings on an interesting pollinator. Of course I went out without my camera, so I went to get it and then had to wait for it to come back out towards the front of the patch so I could capture it:
What is with that large butt? I’m too lazy to look it up right now.
Anyway, back to tomatoes. What do you make out of your fresh tomatoes?
