A kind
benefactor/ess who was probably the previous tenant in this apartment, grew a grape
tomato plant (or perhaps merely dropped a tomato) along the south facing wall
of our apartment. It gets sun all day on
sunny days and is producing a large quantity of itty bitty grape tomatoes. There are so many of them ripening that Jbird
and I can barely keep up. So today I
made this: http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Roasted-Tomato-Soup-Recipezaar_8. It's a pretty standard recipe, I know, but it was made with my own homegrown tomatoes so I was really excited about it. I was hungry (and too lazy to cut 40 tiny
little tomatoes) so instead of roasting them, I cooked them slowly in a big
pot, popping them against the side as they got hot and ready to burst.
More often, we have been enjoying
the tomatoes in a tomato/cucumber salad seasoned with the obvious: olive oil, balsamic
vinegar, fresh basil and salt and pepper. Having an outdoors has improved my basil
maintaining/growing abilities. It’s so
great with anything tomato-ee and with lots of other things too.
