I just came inside from picking about 50 little yellow pear tomatoes from my over-exuberant tomato vines. Yellow pears are less acidic than normal tomatoes, small (about the size of a cherry tomato) and pear-shaped. They're absolutely gorgeous as a garnish on soups or crackers...but I'm not quite sure what to do with so many! Perhaps salsa/bruchetta?
Another unusual variety of tomato I'm growing this year is an heirloom called 'Russian Pink.' We saved the seeds from an especially yummy tomato from our farmer's market, but this is the first year I've tried to grow them. Being heirlooms they're quite fragile and difficult to transport, but rather scrumptious--at least so I've heard, personally I don't care for tomatoes.
As a side note, here's a link to the poem that inspired my blog's URL: http://www.geocities.com/thetropics/shores/5441/tiger.html

Mmmm! You have made me prodigiously hungry. Homegrown tomatoes just taste so good! My family loves bruschetta. We make it up ahead of time, then bake plain pizza crusts. Just top a slice off with some bruschetta and cheese, and you have a perfect, light summer meal.
Mummm...sounds yummy! Cool photo!
You gave us some of those tomatoes for our trip, didn't you? the yellow ones were positively scrumptious! I must admit with some abashment that Hannah and I picked out all the yellow tomatoes to eat...;)
Oh Good! I'm glad you enjoyed them! (Nora likes the yellow ones better also, since they're less acidic.)
