You say tomato, I say "Let's do it again next week."
Yesterday’s 7th Annual Tomato Festival was fun, tasty and informative – despite rain clouds and threatening weather. Yes, some of the events were put off until next week, but that gives you an excuse to celebrate tomatoes for two weeks.

Celebrating the fruit -- or vegetable -- in style.
Some people wash a fresh ripe tomato, shake a little salt on the skin, and bite into the juicy flesh. When perfectly ripe, pale red juice and seeds drip past what’s left of the tomato and fill the webs between each finger before slipping along the arm. That mess is only part of a newly-picked tomato’s charm. Others enjoy thick ripe tomato slices between even thicker slices of homemade bread. Maybe a bit of mayonnaise rounds out the summer sandwich that doesn't really need the bacon or lettuce.
