First tomato sangwich of the season
Aug. 18th, 2004 10:50 amI've been working in my garden this morning, pulling up the jungle of weeds that threaten to take over. I've got a few little watermelons, far too many zucchini, no bell peppers yet--they've been eaten from the plant by something! But the best experience of all was finding a fully ripe tomato hidden away at the bottom of one of my two plants:
I just returned from the store with a loaf of sourdough bread. I made a sangwich (I've fallen into Rho-Dielandese and I can't get out!) with that tomato. Sliced thin, sprinkled with a tiny bit of kosher salt (yes, there is a difference in the taste!) and a bit of Hellman's (AKA Best Foods) Mayonnaise.
Gods, it's summer in New England, at last.
Now, to go pick a bouquet of sunflowers.
