Alors. (That’s for my friend Paul). Only three tomatoes left on the trellises tonight under a big harvest moon. I saw a deer running away, so that explains it. BUT, plenty of Sun Gold cherry tomatoes, which I shall pick tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I cut those 3 big babies in half lengthwise, on to baking pan, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, plus minced garlic cloves, sugar, salt and pepper, and into a 450 oven to caramelize in about 25-30 min. Hello!

I could put basil atop them, julienned (now there’s a dollar word), but the basil is gone. Somebody said winter, and they died.

Dude will muddle through.
