first tomato


first tomato, originally uploaded by mister anchovy.

The first thing I noticed when I walked out into the yard this morning was a dead sparrow, two feet away from our cat, Shadow, who could not wait to show me his murderous deed. The second thing I noticed was the tell-tale orange of a ripening tomoato - aside from the cherry tomatoes, it will be the first of the season.

We cut the tomato up today, along with a cucumber from the garden, and some bocconcini (fresh buffalo mozzerella)....drizzled on a little bit of obsenely good balsamic vinegar and spashed on a taste of Salah's Gold olive oil...mixed in a generous handful of fresh basilica from the garden, and rock & roll hoochie-coo, it was really tasty.
