Panzanella – the best way to eat heirloom tomatoes

This is hands down the very best way to eat Heirloom Tomatoes. If you can get your hands on some, make this immediately. They are only really available in the summer and spoil quickly once picked, so that makes this kind of an emergency situation.

    Sounds good, RMW, I’ll show Mrs. Jim. From your descriptionn she can’t resist reading about food and recipes and we don’t pass without reading the menu. She’s never been diagnosed but it sounds like your OCFD. But she is very slight and doesn’t gain weight.
    Saw your comment on an old Friday post and tried it. Been missing you but I’m the only one of the old gang still going. Tom does it now and five or six generally write. Lately he’s been letting others on who don’t even do the alphabet. I love to write but not like the interlopers. I may switch come January or sooner to a different Fridsy group.
    p.s. We shop neighborhood small Walmart or local Kroger, both have 6AM hours, for Walmart it’s seniors only.
    Drop by my blog if you’d like.
