More Tomatoes

First I'd like to correct my misspelling of the Russian literary giant to Solzhenitsyn with the syn at the end. I did read a remembrance of him in the NYT which indicated that he ate only roasted onions and potatoes even as a Vermonter. Not too bad if they are seasoned properly w/ salt pepper and garlic, and herbs like sage and parsley, or herbs de Provence, along w/ the addition of carrots. Peasant food at it's best if you include butter and rustic bread. Meat occasionally, too.

Ideas for fresh garden tomatoes:

Tomatoes simply sliced and salted and eaten with cottage cheese on the side are exquisite. Bruschetta is another w/ the tomatoes lightly salted w/ garlic and basil. Cut the fresh tomatoes gently with a very sharp knife.
A slice of tomato w/some good artisinal blue cheese on top.
Any variety of salsas.
Guacomole w/ extra tomatoes incorporated.
Tomato basil pizza.
Sliced tomatoes peppered and drizzled w/ olive oil.
Tomato and fresh fruit salsa.
Tomato and watermelon together w/ fresh mint.
The world's best BLT. Along w/ a rootbeer float.
Grilled.
