A Food Addiction: Heirloom Tomatoes

Last weekend I made an early-morning trip out to Sang Lee Farms, just hoping that their heirloom tomatoes were in.

As you can see, they were and I bought quite a few (okay, too many).

So far, I took many of the yellow and gold ones, made a sauce and froze it for the winter. We've used them sliced simply for salad and have also used them on grilled cheese sandwiches.

But this post isn't so much about what we're doing with them, it's really about the picture. Though they are delicious.

My favorites...now what is your favorite wine to pair with them? In their fresh state, uncooked?

Hey Lenn:

There is nothing better than being able to eat food / drink wine sourced from where one lives! It's amazing how far away food comes for most of us. Nice photo!

Beautiful site and I love your photo of the tomatoes. Please visit mine, which is mainly about food. Thank you. Sonja

love the heirlooms, though I was a bit disturbed to go to our grocery store recently and see that Emeril has his own line of heirloom tomatoes. I mean, we're all used to Chiquita labels on bananas, and Dole labels on pineapples. But heirloom tomatoes are sacred and need a brand-name like I need a hole in my head...

Great shot Lenn! I juuussst uploaded a roundup post on swirlingnotions of great slow-roasted tomato recipes. Check it out if you need something to do with those beauties (I also freeze slow-roasted tomatoes and enjoy them all winter!).

Cheers,
