Tomatoes

The tomatoes are finally ripening and we have been enjoying toasted tomatoe sandwiches for a couple of weeks now. Some of the tomatoes are growing to be a good size and so I thought I would show off a little.

Here are four of the biggest ones we have picked thus far. They all weigh over a pound.

This is a picture of the biggest one. As you can see, one slice would cover and hang over the edges of a piece of bread, pretty much fill up the plate which is a small corelle plate.

Here it is shown in a cereal bowl.

And here you can see the proof, that it weighed in at 1 lb. 14.8 oz! Pretty impressive I would say. Kristy and I just spent the afternoon making 24 pints of salsa, but this baby didn't get thrown in the pot just yet. Maybe we'll savor it in a sandwich or maybe it will be used when I make pizza sauce. Either way, it will get put to good use, and enjoyed.
