Lovely spread of tomatoey things. Makes us realize just how many ways we eat it.
The versatility of tomatoes shines. Beautiful plating.
Wow – what a beautiful array of all kinds of dishes using the power food tomatoes! I love how beautiful and versatile tomatoes are, as you've demonstrated.
I realized as I looked through my photo files just how much I used tomatoes. I left out quite a few photos, too! They are incredible in so many things, but I realized just a bit ago I didn't put up a regular vegetable soup–and tomatoes are critical in it. I'll have to look. Thanks,guys! Happy weekend.
Jeez, your food is making me hungry for lunch and I haven't even had breakfast yet. Loved the friends eating under the tree photo.
We were at a party on Saturday where every single dish (save one, the cheesecake for dessert) had tomatoes in it. Tis that season, getting in the last of them before they're gone for the winter and spring.
@Mireya: Hub and youngest daughter! I love it, too. Alanna: That's really funny; same thing here. I pop one in my mouth every time I go through the kitchen. The tiny ones, that is!
