No I am not turning into a vampire, I’m referring to the first bite of tomatoes from my garden this year. It’s sort of a ritual of mine to eat the first tomato of the season straight from the vine, which I did tonight (the one in the foreground). Though I have a fair amount of tomatoes on the plants, the plants themselves aren’t doing so well this year. Maybe I need to fertilize the soil next year. Anyhow, I had a delicious tomato, cucumber, onion, and basil sandwich for dinner tonight (on whole wheat bread and slathered with mayonnaise). It was delicious and extra satisfying knowing that most–but not all–of the ingredients grew a few feet from where they were consumed. For tomato recipes, click here.
