Thinking of South Africa.

It is Alpine strawberries.
A Munstead Wood rose in summer.
It is cherry and San Marzano and Black Krim tomatoes.
It is the first Brandywines, picked yesterday evening.
A Tomato Party is definitely indicated. Perfect ingredients
ReplyDeleteMarie, do you have a good recipe for bouillabaise? I realize this is a little off topic with your red theme today, but there are tomatoes in bouillabaise right? I have a craving and your recipes always inspire.
ReplyDeleteI would second that request. Never too early to start planning for soup and stew season!
ReplyDeleteHen, yes, we have been having daily tomato parties. xxx
ReplyDeleteSarah and webb - yes, September always seems to be my bouillabaisse month. A yummy version will be in the book. My very long method is over at the food blog - Look under 'b' for bouillabaisse :-) I fear you may be put off by its length. It is wonderful, though.
Thank you for thinking of South Africa now. When will we ever learn.
ReplyDeleteHi Marie, I meant to send u my link to a post I recently wrote on 'Red', as well. I like to think great minds think alike- or maybe it's just the color of summer.
