I love tomatoes. I'm sure a lot of people do, but since I have an acute potato allergy I feel lucky that my allergy doesn't include all nightshade related plants.
This past weekend I stopped by the Clintonville Farm Market
I ended up spending 5 hrs of the day cleaning out my garage and was thoroughly famished when I was done. It was getting late and I wasn't about to fire up the stove so i rummaged through the fridge. I found half a log of Silver Goat Chevre, half a package of norwegian salmon, half a red onion. Add to that some capers and a few slices of organic roasted garlic bread and I have the making of some killer new york style lox.
I took a palm-sized tomato, cut in wedges abd liberally applied Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. I toasted the bread to just crisp and spread a nice disk of cheese on each piece. Top that with pieces of salmon, paper thin slices of onion and a sprinkle of capers.
Hungry yet? I wolfed that plate down like no tomorrow. Coming up soon I'll show you my version of Caprese Crustini. Enjoy those tomatoes, the season is nearly over.

Yo bud! Good so far! My cooking is curretly set to very simple fare and rarely any meat. I was able to tackle lasagna for the first time this weekend (I needed to make 3 for a Rainbow Girls installation) and made 1 beef, 1 sausage and 1 primavera. I made the sauce from scratch (using up some cans of tomatoes I had picked up on sale during the summer). The vegetable one was interesting as I added some smoked paprika to the sauce. People seemed to enjoy it - although 3 was a little ambitious for the first time. Gotta remember to make notes.
Anyhow, I'll look forward to reading further...
