Tis Tomato Time

This is the time of year when the farmer's markets are overflowing with tomatoes and this year so are the branches of my tomato plants! I am enjoying the bounty in various ways. Here are two of my recent dinners.

Pear tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and fresh basil sauce with pasta and parmesan cheese.

Heirloom tomatoes with fresh basil, olive oil, salt and pepper, and fresh mozzarella (made in Somerville)!

On a totally different note, check out our dogs. They have this pitiful/cute habit of resting their chins on the bed in hopes that they will be allowed to come up and cuddle. It is rare that they are actually allowed up on the bed, but they're eternal optimists.
