two point five tomatoes

it's been quite hot here in the pacific northwest. though, the weather folks tell us it's going to drop nearly thirty degrees in the next few days. we're hoping that doesn't have a devastating effect on the garden.

back to the heat wave though. yesterday the last thing we wanted to do was turn the stove on. so, we pulled together an excellent salad of garden goods - yellow, green, and purple beans, lettuce, red onions (which i quick pickled in cider vinegar and sugar), and i'd say approximately 2.5 tomatoes. seriously, one of them was so small, i can only count it as half. we also had some sweet corn on hand from the farmers market. fresh raw sweet corn is the best.


we added some excellent blue cheese, dressed it with a home made honey mustard, and toasted some bread up. delish.


ok, confession. after we ate this lovely salad, we headed out on a walk. destination frozen custard. but at least we walked, right?
