Garden tomatoes at last!


To celebrate the arrival of the first summer tomatoes (at the end of July!), we made a nice green salad with orange Moonglow heirlooms and yellow Hartman's Yellow Gooseberry heirlooms. (We've got our first batch of San Marzanos and their little cousin Principe Borghese, also.) We threw in a sliced cucumber from the garden to give the salad a little more crunch.

We accompanied the salad with a dish of sliced cocozelle (one of the Italian varieties of zucchini), chopped basil, toasted pine nuts, and shaved parmesan...tossed with a seasoned dressing of lemon juice, olive oil, and red pepper flakes.

And oh, of course, 6 pizzas...shown here in their pre-rolled, precooked state! Those doughballs were about to become two sausage pizzas, two four-cheese pizzas, and two mushroom pizzas (with a medley of three types of forest mushrooms).

Wonderful!
