"When you get your first asparagus, or your first really good tomato of the season, those are the moments that define the cook's year. I get more excited by that than anything else."
~Mario Batali
I couldn't agree more. Last summer, the farm where I buy my produce from is a foodie's paradise. There is nothing sexier than a ripe tomato. The romas would even sport the odd nipple. Why bother buying anemic or wooden tomatoes in the dead of winter. It's tomato abstinence for me as I dream of next summer. As inspiration week continues, what would you love to sink your teeth into this week?





Said the Tomato to the Tomata: Oooh baby, please come eat...
I used to hate tomatoes, but now love them, and would practically kill for farm tomatoes this time of year. I live on fresh cooked tomato soup.

This really made me miss summer. I'd give anything to taste a local June strawberry!

hmm... tomatoes. How do you guys prepare them? Usually, we use tomatoes for side dishes, but it's really more fun to throw them at people (especially politicians). =)

A nice ripe avocado or a juicy cantaloupe.
