Day 1 ~ Tomatoes

Summer is wonderful. This morning I went to the farmer's market and bought tomatoes from my favorite stand. As usual, I chose the ones with the strongest scent, picking them one by one. I filled a bag, three pounds. Then I asked if they would be bringing out more from their truck. I took five more pounds from the load. Once home I chose the largest and firmest and made bruschetta. Next I selected the softest and made gazpacho. Two of my favorite summer dishes!
