This is my ugly tomato.
It's an heirloom, but I don't know what kind. I think it's a 'lucky cross'. 'Lucky' because it tasted delicious with dinner tonight, and 'cross', because I'm not growing anything that should look like this! Pretty interesting...my daughter wants to save the seeds!
We had deli turkey, ham, and tomato with nice italian bread along with this delicious homemade soup my girls and I made. It turned out to be wedding soup with barley...delicious and filling ( I think it was filling due to the barley...I love barley!) All in all, we used quite a bit from our garden for this dinner. Zucchini, basil, oregano, onion, and parsley in the soup, and of course, the tomato and romaine lettuce on the sandwiches. The chicken and ground beef were local, so all in all, a pretty fresh meal!
Here's my daughter slicing our little piece of heaven! So good! Even the kids liked it. Eating the first tomato of the season is like...well, it's really nice!
We entered our ugly tomato into Relish Magazine's Ugly Tomato Contest!! Check it out at www.facebook.com/relishmagazine. Enter your ugly tomato picture there too. It's fun! I hope to have a few more entries to submit.
It's time to rest after eating our delicious dinner. Till next time, be happy!!
