You say Tomato, I Say MORE Tomatoes!featured
Is it normal that I bought 20 pounds of tomatoes on a whim?
I think being so wrapped up in this whole food blogosphere has altered my sense of normalcy.
No matter. I did it and I could not have been more excited as I picked up my loot from The Ladybug Truck parked outside Piccino hawking cases of juicy red tomatoes like a fresh shipment of LV fakes off Canal Street.

Roasted Beet Salad with Fried Summer Squash and Figsfeatured
As featured in Bay Area Bites, September 9, 2009.
I finally jumped on the CSA wagon and I must admit, it was kind of like Christmas when my first box arrived, full of the lingering summer’s bounty.
Fresh lavender perfumed the air as I unpacked each item with glee: heirloom tomatoes, okra, honeydew, beets, figs, flying saucer squash, and lemon cucumbers, among other loot.
Side note: this was the first time I encountered lemon cucumbers. They are pale yellow, the size of a small lemon, and quite adorable. They’re sweet, and delicate-flavored, and don’t have as many seeds as your average green cucumbers.
I rinsed off and bit into a plump, ripe, fig as the culinary inspiration started working its way through my thoughts. I was stoked to see a handful of the flying saucer squash that I have been admiring at the farmer’s market the past few weeks.

It was a potluck style gathering of hungry, thirsty, twitter-happy people, and there was no shortage of delicious, picnic eats.
