I am in LOVE with fresh, GOOD produce. We got some tomatoes from Stop & Shop (which turns out to be kind of 2/3 of the way in quality and price from a Market Basket to a Hannaford, for those of you who have any idea what I'm talking about).
Anyway, the tomatoes were so ripe and perfect that the whole display of them smelled like REAL tomatoes--the kind you can pick off the plant and just gobble down. MMMmmmmm.....
(ASIDE: I am SOOO sick of "vegetables" and "food" that are in fact not truly edible at all! For instance, supermarket cucumbers are a joke. They are foamy plant fiber and water, and nothing else. A home-grown cucumber is a thing of flavorful beauty. I NEED to get some garden space!)
Anyway, it's a couple of days later now and the tomatoes still smell like that, and every time I smell one I just want to dig in!
Eating these delicious tomatoes reminded me that my mom grows tomatoes when the season is right, and that they are invariably damn tasty.... This combined with my general state of disgruntledness at bad veggies, and resulted in me hatching a plan to see how I can earn a supply of Mom's tomatoes for myself, and maybe get some more kinds of fresh veggies to boot. :)
