The first harvest of fresh tomatoes. Mine are tiny grape tomatoes - living garnets nestled with fresh basil, the king of herbs. (Hobnobbing with culinary royalty is what fresh tomatoes do best.)
What to do with this rare and precious gift? Eat it for breakfast.
Happy Summer.

Nothing better than fresh food from the garden. Our basil is still doing well but the tomatoes have really slowed down.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, the warm South - you guys probably have tomatoes in January! :)
DeleteYummmy! Now I am hungry :)

DeleteYum!
ReplyDeleteDrop in for breakfast sometime.... ;)
DeleteAh, basil and tomatoes....Caprese! :)
ReplyDeleteBring on the fresh mozzarella! They're also very good with goat cheese....
DeleteMy basil turned yellow during Ride the Rockies, and I haven't planted new yet... My tomato vines were prolific, but only with leaves. I have one tomato, still on the vine, and all the rest is just vine and leaves, no buds. ?!?
ReplyDeleteBut yesterday my employer hosted a client function, and the leftovers were presented to us. Fresh mozzarella with fresh tomato slices and fresh basil leaves. Stuffed grape leaves. Olives. I was so in heaven!
Cycling or gardening - what to do, what to do. :)

DeleteYummmm!!!!! Those two items right there are why I'll help with the gardening!!! Those two flavors are so delicious with eggs!! Great choice!! :)
