Tomatoes

We have neighbors who grow tomatoes. They have a farm at this place called the Intervale, which is a giant floodplain that Burlington rents out to local citizens who grow organic (only) food.

One weekend, our neighbors had a surplus of tomatoes, and put up a nice sign in the building saying, "Take as many as you want." I did. I made tomato sauce and a beautiful tomato and cucumber salad, seen below. I even documented it for posterity, because I thought the colors of the tomatoes were so beautiful. I called it Traffic Light Tomato Salad, for obvious reasons.
