Gratitude 35

Tomatoes, tomatoes and more tomatoes.  They always start as a trickle at the beginning of August and then, towards the beginning of September, the deluge begins.  We have several favourite tomato recipes but this one, grilled pitas with tomatoes, black olives and feta is our absolute favourite (although I do saute the red onion before I add it - I don't like raw onion).  I could eat these every night for a week and not get sick of them.  Given how much mint we have in our herb bed (I haven't kept up on that this year, sadly, and mint and lemon balm have spread), we should be eating them daily.  It's silly but I get such a sense of satisfaction from eating food that we have grown.
