Frankly, Mrs Tomato, I Love You!


Oh, your vine-ripened sweetness!    


Looking for something tempting and colourful, tomatoes seemed the obvious choice as willing subject.

Are you in on this Tomato Love Fest?

I love this tomato time of the year. As I can remember there is a folk song that goes...
"Τhere's just two things that money can't buy and that's true love and home grown tomatoes."

"Ah, your juicy flesh is my food, your aroma is my wine and the taste of you burnt my mouth with its sweetness."
Ηow I love the incredible taste of biting into a just picked-up right off the vine sun-ripened tomato! 
Your tongue says to your brain.." Oh my gosh, that's good..."
Tomato is a fruit and one of the most treasured gifts from the garden.

Did you know that it has been called everything from the Moor's Apple to the Wolf Peach, to the Love Apple? Interestingly enough, in French, the word for tomato really translates as "apple of love"
pomme d'amour.                    
Shots of mayonnaise, olive paste (tapenade) and tomato and cucumber slices. Yum!                                                          

I like tomatoes especially in the summer. How about you? xx
