Fresh lettuce and spinach out of the garden in spring is a delight. Potatoes, onions, carrots, beets, zucchini -- whatever we grow is better-than-bought. I love my berry-parade through June's strawberries, July's raspberries, and late summer's blackberries.
But there are two things that are exquisite beyond all the rest:
the first tomatoes, in bruschetta salad or tomato sandwiches or simply salt-&-peppered
and the first mess o' steamed green beans.
Tonight is green bean night. Yum! I love how they squeak like fresh cheese curds!

YUM! My kids love them sautéed with garlic, mushrooms (well not all the kids like those), and almonds. YUM!
ReplyDeleteSince I had to give up wheat and gluten, I'm not getting NEARLY the enjoyment out of my tomatoes. I like them in and on things, but am not a big "just tomatoes" eater, so my choices are more limited!
