1st Tomato Dinner of the Season

The tomatoes are finally ready for eating...well some of them anyway....enough to eat and that is all I care about!  We had our first taste of them last weekend with a red sauce (seasoned with herbs from our garden) over pasta, freshly baked no-knead bread, and (fresh-from-the-garden) corn on the cob.  Simple and heavenly. 

I love, love, LOVE tomato-based everything so this attempt to eat tomatoes more seasonally (i.e. relying on our own produce and not just running off to the store to buy more at a whim regardless of the season) was a real challenge for me.  Now that the tomatoes are coming in though I can see that it was really worth it.  Those tomatoes utterly rock my world.  Need proof?  I have it! 

Matt could tell how darn ecstatic I was about the whole thing and snapped these photos of my first couple bites.  I think my pleasure is quite evident...especially in photo number two....that is the oh-my-goodness-it-it-too-good-to-be-true face.

Oh baby!  Red tomatoes once again!
