11 Jul The First Cravings…
I learned yesterday that both my mother and sister planted tomatoes in their gardens; I suddenly wondered if the juicy rubies would be ready for testing next month’s recipes. About this time of year, I start to get really excited about the jewels ready to spring forth from the ground, as it means I will have a month of pure indulgence, where essentially all that matters is the next dish of tomato salad with fresh basil and olive oil. It is the only thing that makes August worth bearing.
Last year my cravings hit a fever pitch. I hope this year brings sensory overload — and satiety.
