Our small garden is producing a boatload of veggies right now and we savor immensely the almost-daily harvests. When a thunderstorm is forecast, it is prudent to pick every ripe Sweet Million tomato or risk loosing them to high wind / heavy rain. So yesterday a large bowl of halved tomatoes was marinated in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, with a sprinkling of fresh basil added for additional flavor. We eat these as a simple side salad, or add them to chopped vegetables or greens during the week. It is amusing to see how the size of this variety shrinks with the ebb of summer.In a world that talks too much, writing is a way to capture thoughts and shine a light on the enterprise of life - at home, in the kitchen, out in the garden and almost always through a camera lens.
