The restaurants got regular deliveries of local tomatoes that were just . . . kissed by the sun. You could tell you were eating the glory of the local earth when you ate those tomatoes.<BR/><BR/>Tomatoes also make me think of my grandfather's large tomato garden he had when I was a kid. Fond memories. . . .<BR/><BR/>And congrats on the pregnancy. May I be so lucky some day. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198551836565893829.post-46119467964348281562009-03-22T18:06:00.000-07:002009-03-22T18:06:00.000-07:00Congratulations on your pregnancy!!

Of course, being a celiac/gluten intolerance leader, I am wondering if your good fortune in getting pregnant has come because of issues being resolved after going gluten free. Not meaning to pry and you don't have to share that info, but I love hearing good news stories about health issues being resolved by going gluten free. :-)<BR/><BR/>Love the tomato pics and info.

Of cou...I've never tasted a good tasting heirloom. Of course, I've only bought them at the store. Traditional tomato favorites do not do well here in SW Louisiana. My favorite tasting tomato is the Creole tomato. They come ripe in June and by July, they're done. But for the four weeks in June, oh my. It's tomatoes every night, mayo and tomato sandwiches, sliced, cooked, any way I can eat them. I always say if you eat a ripe tomato grown from your garden, you eating a little bit of sunshine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198551836565893829.post-90115604912340445062009-03-20T13:00:00.000-07:002009-03-20T13:00:00.000-07:00The best tomatoes I've ever eaten were in Cusco, P...The best tomatoes I've ever eaten were in Cusco, Peru, bought at the farmer's market there. The tomato flavor was so potent and concentrated, I had to ask myself whether or not I was eating a sun dried tomato. I've NEVER eaten anything like that since -- not in any farmer's market or backyard garden, and certainly not in any grocery store.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for participating in today's Fight Back Friday!

Maybe that's why it's only the small farms that grow them. I have better luck with hybrids-- Celebrity, mostly.
