STAR QUALITY

I paid top dollar for these tomatoes...I must be really careful with these. its funny how ingredients are treated in the kitchen.. You receive a bag of tomatoes that cost one two dollar a kilo n you think nothing of them, you chuck them aside n you don't bother to take a second look at them till you need them. But when u pay close to 100 for these heirlooms, you start thinking deep thoughts about wat to do with them...you even think about them when you're in bed...u take a cloth n wipe them down, look at each one with amazement, do research on them, you look closer n discover stripes. If only we pay such close attention to our local produce n paid visits to our farms.. why are quality always better from european lands...is it the weather...the cold, the cold waters, the lush greens n grains, the caring hands that tends to them, maybe...europeans talk to their crops? maybe thats why they grow healthier n richer..Maybe farmers get paid top dollar n that allows them to afford better farming techniques which in turn, give them better crops, which in turn, give the farmers more sense of ownership n responsibility.  why hasn't anyone developed anything remotely close to our friends from europe?

tomatoes finally arrived today but my black figs are a no show. ...sorry Mr. Lamb...looks like you won't be getting your fig n quail this week n looks like you won't be getting them any time soon cuz the fig season is over.  The tomatoes will definitely be on this Sundays menu...they are good on their own especially the black crimee which are to my surprise very sweet.  In the basket are san marzano, beef tomatoes, green zebra, rose, noire.... do come and sample their different taste n sweetness..
