hello fall

yesterday was technically the last day of summer. hello fall. i feel like you made your entrance a while back. don't get me wrong, i'm not complaining about the weather. i'm just saying that we've had so many ups and downs degree-wise over the past several months that many of our edibles weren't quite sure how to react.

the plum count was way down. squash most definitely did not proliferate as they have in the past. i noticed a random strawberry the other day. and tomatoes, well, just read the last two posts.

despite this, some of my red friends have prevailed. and they are so welcome.

sweet cherry tomatoes - peacevine and matt's wild

black krim - an excellent heirloom variety.

so, we'll continue poking through the tomato plants on the hunt for red, or even orange ones. we've been able to make some wonderfully simple pastas with them.

linguini with roasted tomatoes. and tons of grated parm.

penne with zucchini, cherry tomatoes, pecorino,

and yes a fried egg on top.

anyway, fall, you've started out with sunshine and red tomatoes. keep em coming.
