This Summer in Tomatoes

I am not happy that summer is almost over. As much as the heat has been ridiculous this summer, I'd take sunshine over bitter cold any day. And it's tomato season, so that's exciting.




Tomatoes! (Celebrity heirloom variety)

And more tomatoes!

And a few more tomatoes (Yellow Brandywine variety)

BBLT! (bacon, basil, lettuce and tomato)

Open-face mozzarella-basil-tomato melt!

Tomato-mushroom pizza with half pepperoni!

Julia Child's stuffed tomatoes (Provençal)!

Lasagna!

Tomato pie!

Tomatoes, from small to large: mine, the CSA's, my mom's

And a big bunch of my mom's.

And now I'm going to go eat some leftover orzo with yellow tomatoes and peppers and onions and cheese. Or, since I had that for lunch, maybe a good old-fashioned Tennessee tomato sandwich.
