You Say Tomato, I Say Tomahto

Our largest tomato ever picked from our garden.

This evening we picked our biggest tomato of the summer. We’ve been eying this big boy for the past couple weeks. A couple more days may have gotten this bad boy a bit more red, but not risking the birds from finding it, we picked it and will let it ripen a bit more over the next couple days.

The next task will be to keep this out of the reach of our tomato-lovin’ boy Henry!

Having successfully grilled salmon a few times on wood planks in the Weber, we tried our luck with some rainbow trout yesterday evening.   After 23 minutes on the grill, all I’ve got to say is “Yum!”

I can’t recall when the last time I ate rainbow trout, but I know the next time will be not far in the future.
