One of my favorite things about summer is vine ripe tomatoes. Aināt nothing better than a tomato on fresh loaf bread with a good slathering of mayonnaise. Of course, I do other things with them as well. I cook with them, put them in salads, and just eat them as a side dish sprinkled in salt.
Yes maāam, I love me some tomatoes. And yet, I seem to take them for granted. I know the season is coming to an endā¦the weather is cooler and the leaves are falling. Frost is on the way. So why did I take them for granted?
The Farmerās Market was closing on Saturday for the season. I planned for days to go and buy one last basket of tomatoes. But come Saturday morning I was in no particular hurry and I could have been. I just chose to read and write and sit on the porch in the sunshine. It was a lovely morning and I must say I enjoyed it butā¦
I arrived at the Farmerās Market with cash in hand to find an empty tomato table. It was close to noon; the tomatoes sold out at 10:30. I bought some shelled peas. I bought some baby yellow squash. I bought some fresh ground cornmeal. It could be the perfect mealā¦if only I had a red, ripe, juicy tomatoā¦
Oh, waitā¦I still have two left from last weekā¦think Iāll have a sandwich while I cook my peas!
