Aileen Street Yum

Tomatoes.

Dreamy.

There are as many as 7, 500 varieties and are divided into categories depending on shape and size.

And the heaviest tomato known was 7 lbs 12 oz. WOW.

But we struggled this year.

Not enough heat? Watering issues?

We spent a lot of time wondering and worrying about our tomatoes.....BUT the below images are a sight to behold.

Tomato sauce! Created from the Aileen Street tomatoes!

We were proud.

And our bellies happy.

Freshly plucked orbs: Please note: Shot taken up close. Behind these orbs marched a bounty in the thousands......

Nothing better than making your own saucy sauce:

Purely tomato, olive oil, garlic, and thyme

And here you have it: fresh garlic and parsley pasta with fresh tomato sauce and some sauteed chard.

Come on over anytime.
