Simple is Good
Nothing beats simple food with fresh ingredients.

The First Tomato of the Season
I picked my first tomato off my tomato plant today. It felt a little soft and it certainly smelled ripe. I was a bit unsure because it was so small, but I guess the Black Prince variety of tomatoes can run on the smaller side. It was juicy, savory, and not really that sweet. The [...]
