glorious summer

I love this part of the summer ~ when the season's bounty overwhelms us. Yesterdays' farmer's market was gloriously full of green beans, new potatoes, eggplant, big juicy peaches, fresh basil, bright dahlias, and my all-time favorite ~ vine-ripe tomatoes. You know the ones, so good they need nothing but a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt and fresh-ground pepper. A meal in themselves.
