I wait all year for August to arrive. It’s not because of the time I spend at the pool or an excuse to eat more ice cream — it’s because of the tomatoes.
Here in peak tomato season, I am currently eating my weight in them. I highly suggest you do the same. Before we know it, our only options will be between the cans and the mealy ones bred to be shipped around the world.
Consider this your fresh tomato bucket list. Load up at the farmers market, clear out the heirloom section at the grocery store, cart as many as you can home, and get your fill of this short-lived summer favorite.
