Tomato days

When we arrived from vacation, our tomato plants from the balcony were dead. Dried! Imagine without watering for 3 weeks ohh poor, poor tomatoes ;(

tomato plant no. 1

tomato plant no. 2

tomato plant no. 3
We picked some of them which still good except from the other ones which has cracked already. We eated some while picking. They're still edible. Really, we find them good. Our own little tomatoes from Rue Pierre Gourdault ( our address )

my daughter had a real fun counting how many little tomatoes we get ( good timing because those tomatoes served us for dinner as we had nothing in our empty fridge )
In fact, during our vacation, we also ate countless tomatoes. Why? it's practical to eat, no cooking, they're good and cheap hehehe :)

eating them fresh with or without sea salt ( from Ile de Ré ) is fine :)

we feasted on tomatoes! we usually brought them from direct producers from there
It's the end of our tomato days, the end of tomato crazyness. The photo's below showing our last tomato that has been bought from the vegetable stand.

its big tomato Mama isn't :)
Strange me, i like tomatoes in any shape except when it's in juice ( beurk ) tomato juice? no thank you, i cannot drink it at all :)

Simple salad : Quick lunch for hottie days

No i am not on a diet hehehe. Warm weather is here that's why these days, its more easier to prepare food in a very simple way that means "no-cooking". No heat from the oven and less hugasan :)

side salad
Mozzarella, tomato, hard-boiled egg and greens. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Salt and pepper. Voila me instant salad na. Kung araw-araw kong kakainin ito siguro papayat ako ( how i wish ). Easy, quick and affordable isn't? :)

Tomatoes in every shape

I recently discover my daughter's love for tomatoes. She likes eating tomatoes with mozzarella balls. That's why when i go to the supermarket, i always make sure to have stocks of mozzarella thing. Yesterday, hubby and daughter went to Truffaut intently to buy a climbing plant that we'll gonna put on the balcony, but for some reason, they came home without climbing plants but with a pot of cherries tomato and red pear tomato plant :)

tomatoes bought from open market
So bad! It's raining all the day :( Hubby already transferred both tomato plants in a pots on the balcony ( all pots, includes heavy one from there are unremovable coz they're installed with steel wires ) Poor plants they're over drunk ( hehehe of water ) Poor us because according to weather info, today and tomorrow we'll be experiencing rain.
