How lucky can you get!<br /><br />My favorite way to serve them is on a big white platter filled with all of the different color slices. Dress with a vinaigrette of 1 part lemon juice to three parts extra-virgin olive oil. Shake or whisk vinaigrette well and pour over tomatoes. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt (preferably French fleur de sel) and coarsely ground fresh black pepper. Scatter torn fresh basil on top of everything and voila - a fresh platter of tomatoes fresh from your garden.<br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233955033219125564.post-90430763283222001482010-07-31T21:34:29.310-04:002010-07-31T21:34:29.310-04:00Hello Penny, thank you for your sweet comment toda...Hello Penny, thank you for your sweet comment today. Andrea is so pleased with all the nice comments about Hospice.<br /><br />LOVE your beautiful tomatoes. Ours are really coming in too. They are so good. I cut up tomatoes and cucumbers together and put Ken's Zesty Italian dressing on it. Easy and delicious.<br /><br />I love your farm house photos Penny. So charming and lovely. Nice job of renovating. I can see why you would love that wonderful old home place.

Drizzle with olive oil, and salt and pepper and put in a 250 degree oven and cook for 2 to 3 hours. They become caramalized and the tomato flavor is concentrated.

Pick several handfuls of basil while you're at it.<br /><br />When you get back in the house, put on the pasta pot with salted water, and start about half a pound of spaghetti, vermicelli or Angel Hair cooking to al dente.<br /><br />While it's cooking, chunk up the tomatoes into bite-size in that beautiful blue bowl (also warmed with hot water and dried). Salt the tomatoes well, and let them sit for a few minutes to start making juices. Wash the basil, stack, roll and shred, then throw it in the bowl, along with a good stream of olive oil.<br /><br />When pasta is ready, drain, drop it in the bowl and toss well, getting all the sauce all mixed in and covering the pasta. Toss in a cup of fresh-shredded Parm, and serve right from the bowl. Pass more Parm at table.<br /><br />Perfect Summer Supper for two.<br />(And DO NOT FORGET to lean in over that warm-tomato-basil-olive oil mixture and inhale---one of the prize treats of Summer).<br /><br />And Keetha @ WriteKudzu has a fabulous Tomato Tart recipe, with roasted garlic and fontina.RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233955033219125564.post-81865926375796185272010-07-30T23:58:21.399-04:002010-07-30T23:58:21.399-04:00Your garden is producing!

Put a pat of butter (I used smart balance) on the top of the tomato and cover with parmesean cheese crumbled cook bacon on top. I bake them on 400 degrees for 20 mins or until hot all the way through and then at the last minute I broil the top to make the cheese browned. This is my favorite way to eat up all the extra tomatoes. ENJOY. I am going to try these recipes above. Thanks!
