Even if you only have a nice windowsill in an apartment, home-grown tomatoes are well worth the effort, and are completely different than those pathetic things sold in the store.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-88431341681858641842008-08-16T23:33:00.000-04:002008-08-16T23:33:00.000-04:00I have 4 tomato plants.

I am now living in AZ, where you ...I am so jealous. I am now living in AZ, where you can't find good tomatoes to save your soul. Even the ones at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's are lacking. If you are lucky, during a very small window of time starting the end of June, in certain farmer's markets, you can get good home-grown tomatoes, but not heirloom ones, at least not that I've found so far. I used to grow my own in WA, and despite the weather, the right varieties would usually do well. I miss that so much. Even if I had land here in Tucson, the weather and soil doesn't lend itself to many veggies or fruits, aside from olives or citrus or avocados. Oh, how I miss the Pacific NW!!Carolina deWittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04356276329845892046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-48560809157563129542008-08-13T16:33:00.000-04:002008-08-13T16:33:00.000-04:00Oh.

My italian spicy tuna ball is like a spicy tuna roll you get from a sushi bar--except you use tomato instead of seaweed and rice. Most excellent--I'll send you my exact recipe if you want to try or make your own variation from the description. Works well with yellowtail too but tuna is best. Anything with tomato is wonderful for summertime foods. -cbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-9357400803678632942008-08-11T16:48:00.000-04:002008-08-11T16:48:00.000-04:00wow, those both sound great!

My favorite tomato dish is my 'italian spicy tuna ball'--a hollowed tomato with cold raw fatty tuna packed into it topped w/ feta or mozarella (in a bowl add the tomato pulp to the tuna along with some red hot peppers and a dash of soy or fish sauce for spice). <BR/><BR/>Or for simplicity--a thick chilled tomato slice on warm toast with salt, pepper and a hefty dollop of home made Mayo. Tomato lovers like me say thanks for the vid here Chef John! <BR/>-cbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
