My dad has had a bumper-crop tomato season this year...
During our stay,
we had tomato salads and BLTs galore.
They are perfect, deep red and delicious.
Look at his on the left,
compared to the mealy, tasteless tomato we got at a farmer's market!
On one particularly hot day, we made
Martha Stewart's Slushy Marys...
(let me know if you need the recipe, Martha doesn't have it online)

Oh and after a day of picking tomatoes, making and drinking Slushy Marys...
this is the view from my raft in the pool!
Those tomatoes look awesome. One of my favorite foods in the entire world is a red juicy homegrown tomato straight from the garden.
ReplyDeleteThis year I planted more than a dozen tomato plants in my garden but we had a very long cold spring here so none of them have started to ripen...yet...but it will be soon. I can't wait.
