A summer indulgence: Tomatoes, tomatoes
From the post:
It’s a known fact that you just can’t have too many tomatoes. And by “tomatoes,” I mean real tomatoes—the kind that ripen in the sunshine, spend no more than an hour or two in captivity, and, when sliced, display their jewel tones all the way through.

Hot Dish: Heirloom tomatoes at One Eared Stag
From the post:
Produce isn’t the kind of thing that one necessarily thinks of as striking, but here it was: this strikingly beautiful bowl. The reds and yellows of heirloom varieties, a few herby leaves, the bright, sharp specks of colorful flowers, and a dab of white foam all atop a creamy, mild bed of bufala mozzarella. When we finally stopped oohing and ahhing about the beauty of the thing (and, of course, taking cell phone pictures), we found out what a great dish it is, too. The mozzarella, the foam, the presentation - all of that comes together to deliver the crisp flavors of ripe tomatoes. It’s like eating a fresh bowl of summer.
