Heather’s Latest Kitchen Work

Earlier in the week Heather crafted a Foccacia-style pizza based on a recipe from Cook’s Illustrated. It was delicious, although Heather already noted some portions of the recipe that she would handle differently.

Later in the week we had a Caprese salad crafted from a variety of tomatoes and basil from our garden. It was as good as it looks.

The best tomato so far

This is the first ‘German Striped’ tomato from our garden. Heather has declared it the best tomato she has ever had, and I might just agree. It had the perfect balance of tartness, acidity, and sweetness; and a very fruity flavor. The taste lingered (in a good way) in my mouth for about a half hour.

Here is where I show off some of the tomatoes from our garden. We’ve got Blondkopfchen, Green Sausage, Riesentraube, and some standard grape tomatoes in the salad. Scrambled eggs and rosemary-lavender potatoes complete the meal.

We came back to several obscene cucumbers (3, weighing about 5 lbs.) and other ripe veggies. Heather will turn these into dinner. That’s 3 cucumbers, 2 Marglobe tomatoes, 1 green sausage tomato, 3 Asian eggplants, and a Bulgarian Carrot hot pepper.

The season’s first tomato. It was delicious.
