Soon, very very soon.....

We have been enjoying yellow squash, zucchini and cucumbers from our garden for a couple of weeks now. But....the tomatoes and green peppers are taking their time. The peppers are what you could call "cute" now....little baby green peppers. But I don't think "cute" necessarily means "tasty". So we continue to wait. We DID have one small red tomato last night. So, to celebrate, I sauteed some fresh crimini mushrooms, garlic, zucchini, and the prized chopped up tomato in olive oil. After adding some sea salt, freshly ground pepper and a touch of basil, I tossed it all with some angel hair pasta, and topped it with fresh parmesan. Yum. Garden goodies. It's worth the work out in the heat. But....we need more tomatoes. And some green pepper that have "grown up". I bet I'll be thinking differently in a couple of weeks, when Kelly goes out every morning at the crack of dawn and brings in the bounty (his favorite part of the whole thing) and puts it on the counter. Then it becomes...what am I going to do with all this??? And the answer is always the same....make it for dinner, can it, or give it away. Usually all three. I'll call you when the tomatoes are ripe and red and juicy. We can share one of summer's great delights.
