Tomatoes and onions and berries, oh my!

San Marzano Tomatoes

Hip, hip horray for tomato season! I drove out to Givhans this morning to meet Facebook friends Paul & Lana Nelson. Paul gave me a tour of his personal Eden and sent me home with arms full of tomatoes, onions and blueberries. I am nibbling on the fresh berries right now. It is a fresh veggie Christmas!

I'll be using every favorite tomato recipe I can think of to use up these treasures and best of all it was a delight to meet Paul & Lana in person.

  1. I'm jealous. You have your own personal farmer's market. ;)

  3. There's nothing like farm-fresh fruits and veggies. Lucky you! Are tomatoes fruits or veggies?

    1. Trick question! Yes, they are fruits but we all treat them like veggies.
