Heritage Tomato Salad

I am a little late in getting this post written, I have been in New Jersey doing some of my mother-in-law’s (to do list) and cooking up a storm for family and friends. Caesar salads, Salmon Roulades and many of the “usual” suspects have been flying out of the kitchen.  My Chicken Paprikash was especially good last night.

We had an interesting dessert the other night.  I started out making Vanilla Gelato and when I got to the part where I am supposed to add the vanilla I found out my mother- in-law was out of vanilla.  I had the custard in the pan so I reached for the honey and good ole Jack Daniels.  A gurb of the honey and a spritz of the Jack and we were in business.  We later found a large bottle of vanilla in the cupboard but my wife says forget the Vanilla Gelato and go with the Jack Daniels gelato every time.

Sadly it is the end of summer and soon we will be getting into the Fall cooking season, not that I don’t like all the soups, stews et al that goes with cooler weather; just that I really like the summer veggies, especially the tomatoes.  Get out and find those last of the season heirloom tomatoes and put together a quick and really good salad to celebrate the good tastes of the summer.
