Fresh Tomatoes - Yum

Last year we planted tomatoes in our garden and they just didn't produce like we were hoping they would.  We ended up in Italy on our honeymoon when it seemed the bulk of them were at their best but they didn't get any water while we were gone - thus, we didn't get to eat any of them.  This year, we are definitely luckier!  Our tomatoes are growing and we are able to use them!!  This past weekend, we drove to visit K's mom and picked a few tomatoes before we left.  We had a salad for dinner and used OUR tomatoes and Mom's fresh lettuce from her garden.  Yeah!  We have picked a few more since then and have been able to use them in salads.  I know we get pretty excited about our garden, but there is just something about using your own ingredients.  Between the two roma tomato plants in our yard, we have about 20 tomatoes ripening on the plants :-)  I am looking forward to more salads and maybe some fresh salsa!
