    It is Time

    I hate summer. I really do. Hot hot hot. Bugs, air conditioning, dinner at 10pm. I'm definitely more of a cool weather gal. But I will say, in favor of summer, it is the only time of the year you can get a tomato that tastes like a tomato. Not like a white, mealy, tasteless sponge. Not vine ripened or hydroponically grown. Mid to late July is when they begin to emerge at the farmer's markets. I think there is some kind of primitive mechanical device in my freon-addled brain that switches to "on", that ignites the chain reaction of my insatiable need for ripe, locally grown tomatoes this time of year. It is a desparate feeling, probably because the season for tomatoes is so short and they are just SO FREAKIN' GOOD. I managed to get to the Waverly market this morning and my prayers were answered.

    I usually stroll through the market to see what is looking good. Since I was mostly focused on the fine red fruit, that's what I got the most of. Cucumbers were also looking good, so I got some of those, a bunch of cilantro, a 25 cent thingy of garlic, and some freshly picked peaches.

    I make a variety of tomato dishes throughout the year, and for those I used canned tomatoes. The Cento tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, does not use preservatives, so that's the brand I usually buy for dishes like pasta and chilli -- red, saucy dinners. In the summertime, when 'maters are fresh and flavorful, I tend to make simpler dishes that don't hide the tomatoes so much as highlight them.

    Today I had my first tomato meal of the year with real, in season tomatoes, I had the classic: tomato slices on toast with a thin layer of mayo underneath, salt and freshly ground pepper on top. Heavenly. Simple. If I get enough energy to make dinner this evening, I may make a fresh salsa to go with rice and beans.

    It isn't too late to get local, ripe tomatoes this weekend... Sunday there is the huge farmer's market under 83. Don't miss out! We have another month or two left of the sweet and succulent tomato tasting the way it should.

    Sexy, savory stuffing recipe

    November 28, 3:08 PM
    My mother, Anne Goodwin, always prepared an amazing Thanksgiving meal for the family. She did so on a tight budget, too -- no easy task during any economic climate. Thanksgiving does not have to be expensive, but some care must go into the preparation.... Read More

    Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday

    November 24, 4:07 PM
    I can’t say I’m a huge fan of the “holiday season”. You know, the last month and a half of every year where no matter what, you are expected to spend a bunch of money you don’t have. I know, I know, don’t be such a... Read More

    Chickie quickie

    November 10, 3:14 PM
    Despite my efforts to have dinner planned each and every night for the hoard of picky eaters in my house, I probably manage to succeed at this task 50-60% of the time. The other meals end up being pasta and sauce. Yuck. Well, not always yuck, just when... Read More

    Indulge in homemade Orange Cakey

    November 3, 3:14 PM
    My youngest refers to cake as "cakey". I refer to anything sweetish and bready as cake in the interest of not having to describe every single nuanced thing I offer to my darling daughters – the word cake tells them enough. Muffins, coffee... Read More
