First Ripe Tomato





Today was the first day I picked a ripe tomato from my garden. I've already picked a couple green ones and made fried green tomatoes (yummy). Anyhow, this year I decided to grow an heirloom tomato, a pink brandywine. I love its taste: sweet, not too acidic, and a very strong "tomato" flavor. I like eating it with a sprinkling of salt, but I also love eating it with basil (that I've grown), mozzrella cheese, balsamic vinegar and olive oil. My goal is to have enough ripe tomatoes so that I can turn them into sun dried tomatoes.
