'maters

This is a shot of the first tomato I picked for the season. We have two big tomato plants and in the last week I've already picked 7 tomatoes!

Believe it or not, I'm not a huge tomato fan. I don't pick them out on salad bars and I usually push them to the side in salads that I get from restaurants. We never buy them unless I need them for a recipe. But I LOVE a caprese salad and bruschetta, so go figure. These homegrown 'maters have been so good and I've been making BLT sandwiches and just slicing them and eating them with kosher salt.
