Tomato Heaven

Yesterday my friend Lee Vann gave me a few of her husband’s special zebra tomatoes. Since it was over 90° out I didn’t want to leave these babies in the car to bake. So when I got to Kate’s last night I brought the bag in her house.

This morning when I went to class I carried the tomatoes in with me. After class I went to do a private lesson at a friend’s and I brought those tomatoes into her house. I drove those tomatoes home tonight. Carrying these tomatoes around like a baby I just had to have one for dinner. I offered Russ one for his dinner, but he declined.

I got some pesto out of the freezer, sliced up one of the gorgeous globes, put some fresh mozzarella and balsamic vinegar on along with a strong amount of freshly cracked pepper.

Was carrying that bag of tomatoes around worth it. ABSOLUTELY. Thank you Lee. Thank your husband. There is nothing better than a gorgeous vine ripped tomato fresh from the farm.
