heirloom tomatoes.

this delicious fruit (or is it a veggie? i can never remember) is probably our favorite in the months of august and september.  they are sweet, juicy, colorful and scrumptious to eat.  we love to pick them out at the farmer's market.  and they have the best names too - ping pong (small pink ones), green zebra, purple cherokee, beefsteak (big red ones), brandy wine, and many many more.  

to make our heirloom tomato salad - all jeffrey does is slice them, add a bit of red onion, olive oil, salt and pepper and presto you have a beautiful and tasty tomato salad - perfect for the hot summer months.
