Be careful what you wish for

Cut up the two most misshapen tomatoes. They tasted more like I expected, especially the one with the big brown growth in the middle. I dressed them with olive oil, chopped fresh basil, and grated parmasano reggiano, and had them as a side with broiled salmon. Maybe those two aren't usually served together, but it made for a very good dinner. Toasted whole wheat pita on the side to mop up the olive oil. Glass of chardonnay.

As far as the title goes, remember when I was worried about tomatoes ripening? Well, worry no more, Pomfrey! I picked two more Crims today, a classic that you would photograph for a catalog and a smaller, lumpier one. A cousin to yesterday's Frankentomatoes, I left on the vine to ripen a little more, but I'll be picking that in the next day or two. The Sweet 100s continue to ripen each day, and a whole bunch of Romas are ripening all at once. I may have to make a small batch of marinara sauce this weekend so that they don't go to waste. And there are plenty of greenies hanging on the vines.
