Farewell, tomatoes.

I'll miss you. I'll pretend you only exist in non-gmo cans until late spring once more. Watery, pale tomatoes are pointless.

I suppose I can think of it this way, instead of new episodes of LOST to keep my life exciting, I get flavorful, local tomatoes during the rest of the year. It doesn't exactly pair up, but you get the idea...if you adore Benjamin, like I do.

In Denial Cherry Tomatoes

Just look at them. I noticed they were in denial about the season the first moment they came into view. Somehow, inside, I knew this would be my last chance, my last hope, for tomato sweetness. Truly, they were sweet. They had flavor. They were in denial about the oncoming Autumn.

Only two more weeks of my precious downtown farmers market! [weekday]

Here's my haul from last Wednesday:

I've been throwing green cabbage and peppers into everything I've been cooking!
And creeping my sister out by eating raw corn. Over the phone.

Till we meet again, peppers...

Don't fret, I'll be stalking the farmars until tomatoes and peppers are truly pathetic/not present.

The dramatic black & white stand I bought my cabbage from.

You can feel the mood of this post.

Happy Hoodie weather to all!
I hope you're prepared with a new Herbivore sweatshirt!

I love Benjamin Linus. And I love tomatoes.

Sigh.

sorry to be totally clueless, but what is that beautiful orange squashy-looking thing in the center of that photo?

Ahhh yes, tomatoes. Parting is such sweet sorrow. I am super excited about the new series of LOST!

i'm so sad for tomato season to be gone as well. i pretty much just don't eat tomatos the rest of the year. my plants still have some green ones but i'm low on hope...

Crystal said...

So sad, right? I keep telling my husband, "but summer was just the other day." It's so depressing. Ugh. Let's not think about it ;)

Why say goodbye to tomatoes? Would even love to have a cash advance and buy basketful of tomatoes.

It can't work in fact, that is exactly what I believe.
