The hint of fall in the air here in the Northwest is exciting. I’m looking forward to the apples, pumpkins, slow cooked stews and hearty braised dishes that come with the arrival of cooler weather, but not so much as to overlook the last glorious offerings of summer.
In my most recent guest blog post for Girl Power Hour I encourage you to embrace the last of the summer harvest and feast on local heirloom tomatoes before they are gone. Here’s a taste, and below is a link to my full story.
As summer leaves us, now is the time to revel in the last of the glorious flavor of warm sunny days. That means stuffing yourself with as many locally grown heirloom tomatoes as time will allow.
Heirloom tomatoes
Fresh-from-the-garden tomatoes define simplicity by requiring nothing more than to be sliced and consumed. They deliver a juicy joyful flavor that will haunt you until the next harvest. Gild the experience with a drizzle of exquisite olive oil and a sprinkle of fine artisan salt. The taste will likely be a memory so powerful it can be called upon during the dark chilly abyss of our Northwest winter like a magical incantation to conjure a restorative moment of summer.
