Well, it's that joyous time of year again. I'm extremely excited that it's finally:

TOMATO SEASON!!!!!

There is just nothing better than an East Texas tomato. If they were here year round, we wouldn't have the great appreciation for them. My mother-in-law gave me a bunch the other day so I'll be getting megadoses of lycopene over the next three weeks. Here's how my tomato consumption schedule is lined out for this week:

Monday - Fried trout, pinto beans, coleslaw hushpuppies and sliced tomatoes & fresh cayenne pepper.

Tuesday - Smoked Chicken, rice & blackbeans, tomatoes & basil bruschetta on grilled fench bread.

Wednesday - Linguini with shrimp, garlic bread and a caprese salad (buffalo mozzerella, tomato, olive oil & basil).

Thursday - Ribeyes, oven fried polenta, mushrooms, sliced tomatoes with blue cheese and finely chopped red onion.

Friday - Hamburgers with fresh tomatoes.

Saturday - something & broiled tomatoes.

Sunday - something else and tomatoes.

"God gave Texans tomatoes to make the summer tolerable"

Had me a couple fresh mater sammiches for lunch today. Nothing beats home growns with a little hellmans and some S & P. Harvested a bunch of little pearl and some yellow grape tomatoes today. They'll be taking a dip in some good balsamic & EVOO with fresh lemon basil tomorrow. Can't wait!!
