That’s kind of the crime about heirloom varieties having been lost to our common knowledge, leaving folks to think that if it’s not red and perfectly round, it can’t be a tomato. (And actually, in the course of tomato history, the earliest tomatoes were yellow, not red.) Heirlooms are beautiful and the most flavorful tomatoes anywhere – the little purple ones are Black Cherry tomatoes; the red and yellow striped plum is a Speckled Roman tomato. Hope your farmers have a great crop this year!

Beautiful! Love the colors and shapes of your garden heirloom tomatoes, especially the little purple ones and– is that actually a tomato? That cucumber-shaped yellow one with red stripes to the right of the soup bowl? Looks pretty anyway. I haven’t been too happy with the gazpachos I’ve tried to make, but I’ve never put in bread like you do to thicken it up, and I’ve never tried it with avocado. So I”ll keep track of this recipe (thank you, Pinterest) to try when the field tomatoes finally come in to the farmer’s market. Should be any day now (it’s always pretty late in the season here in the PNW before we get local tomatoes).

Oh, I don’t feel much like I do, so {hugs} for saying so.

You rock! 🙂

oh my gosh that sounds amazing with the avocado! yummmmmmm!
