A.M.--pick corn, tomatoes, cukes, and zucchini. Shuck, sort, and wash.
This lunker is an Amish Paste tomato. The plant was passed on by Ginny Koranek and I am IMPRESSED. I'll be saving seed for next year.
The long skinny cucumbers will go into a marinated salad. The others will become bread and butter pickles. Noon:the ideal lunch--a sandwich of fat slices of perfectly ripe Cherokee Purple tomato with homemade mayonnaise. Accompanied by iced tea, the house wine of the South. (Though I break with tradition by preferring it unsweetened.)
P.M. Blanch and freeze corn, roast cherry tomatoes, make a sauce with the other maters, save cukes for another day.
Eat dinner and count my blessings.
