I like putting the tiny tomatoes in a bowl, and putting a few ice cubes on top. Let 'em melt a little, and those little darlings, cold on the outside, sweet-acid on the inside make such a wonderful snack!
I have been teaching in NYC for over 30 years. I first taught at an inner city school. The staff was close and we all worked together to help the kids. We tutored constantly and were involved in many activities outside of school. We participated in student faculty sporting events where teachers who were not sports oriented dressed up as cheerleaders. We raised money by putting on a "faculty frolics" show. We stood on stage and made fools out of ourselves to raise school spirit and help our students feel part of the community. These feelings are no longer a part of my job. I still love my classes and students but I can't wait until I can go home at the end of the day. I use this blog to express my frustations about the way teaching has changed. I don't want to retire but sometimes feel I can't go on any longer the way the system is now.

I like to mix red and yellow.
Ah, and what started me....
those look delicious.
I have 2 farm tomatoes and a cuke and a half -- you've inspired me.
Looks delicious! ...and nutritious!
Some little critters have been stealing my tomatoes...those sure do look good. I'm still waiting for my eggplants to blossom...
From your very own garden? Lovely--and luscious, I'm sure!
A feast for the eyes!!
