pluck from the vine, slice thinly
sprinkle with sugar and salt
Every summer, my wonderful neighbor shares the bounty from his tomato patch. A couple of times a week, he crosses the street, large paper sack in hand, filled with tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers for me. He always has a pocket full of Magic and Molly's favorite biscuits as well. We have a nice chat, and then I slice up a plate of warm tomatoes, and sprinkle them with sugar and salt, just the way my grandma did. Yum :)

ReplyDeleteThere is nothing sweeter than big, fat garden grown tomatoes. Yummy. And how nice that your neighbor brings treats for your dogs.
ReplyDeleteOh, Yum. Fresh tomatoes are a wonderful gift.
ReplyDeleteOy, yoy, yoy! Each prompt response this week is a (sweet) torture. I.e., food I can't eat, for one reason or another. I love tomatoes this way, but I break out in hives. Thanks, though, for a lovely recipe and picture. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, wow. Now I really am hungry. I love fresh tomatoes. Wonderful haiku!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of childhood back East. All we needed was a salt shaker with our tomatoes! Those were the days ;)
ReplyDeleteSugar? Hmmm. Haven't tried it like that. I, too, have a neighbor who trots over two or three times a week for several weeks, giving us delicious tomoatoes. Nice poem.
