| Fresh out of the garden |
Is there anything better than a fresh tomato? I don't think so. Fresh tomatoes rate the highest on my favorite food list. I adore heirloom tomatoes and yes I have even paid lots of money at the store for them. A vine ripened tomato is the best, especially when you grow it yourself.
One of my favorite things to do is to bottle fresh tomatoes. They are easy to bottle and I have tomatoes all year long.
Another favorite is to roast them in the oven for pasta dishes. Toss them is a little olive oil, sugar, salt and pepper and place them in the oven at 400 degrees until the skins are darkened. After they are roasted I toss them with pasta and some fresh basil from the garden and oh my what a meal.
I have to say my all time favorite way to eat tomatoes, when not eating them in the garden, is a tomato and cheese sandwich. On any kind of bread with any kind of cheese this is really heaven to me. I love them and could eat them day and night, and I usually do when the tomatoes start to ripen. Add a spread of fresh basil pesto and wham, talk about a great sandwich.
