I was in Michigan last weekend, but Jamie stopped by my garden and there was our first red tomato - and several green grapes. I knew the juicy Better Boy tomato would be good, but I'd almost forgotten how good. Summer tomatoes, especially home grown, are so flavorful, tart, sweet, tender...I could go on. Also, another difference between home grown tomatoes and store bought is that there is so much more meat in homegrown - not as much gooey seed stuff. Dressed with a little salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil, and Balsamic vinegar, these tomatoes are pretty much summer on a plate. Serve them up after some steak and corn - perfect.
