Knee deep in nightshade

My total tomato consumption for the day was a spoonful of leftover salsa on my burrito at lunch. The jolly red rows of tomatoes on the counter, they mock me. I'm not sure what I'll make next. Perhaps I'll try cooking them into a sauce. Maybe with a little roasted garlic? But it's supposed to be 96 °F tomorrow, so stirring a steaming pot of tomato sauce sounds thoroughly unappealing.

My neighbor is getting back from vacation soon. I'm sure we'll have plenty of tomatoes to hand back over. If she'd been growing zucchinis I'd have thought she timed her vacation on purpose. Come to think of it, I think she is growing some zucchinis.

Oz made sure to remind me about tomorrow's farmer's market down in Shockoe Bottom. I'll be shopping for vegetables which go well with tomatoes.
