dear tomatoes, i love you
hi friends, lovers & people probably related to me —
109 — i ran 18 miles on saturday morning which was exhilarating & also exhausting & now i have to go down the stairs sideways — but like in a cute way
tomato girl summer
no new recipe today rather just a love letter to the end of summer tomatoes & what you should do with them. september is a funny month — it’s inconsistently summer but also inconsistently fall. maybe you’re wearing a light sweater & jeans but the farmers mkt still has beautiful tomatoes, heirlooms of all varieties & then some. so go to the farmers mkt, but if you can’t store bought is fine and grab as many tomatoes as you can without dropping them. that way you can make more than one tomato recipe. galaxy brain. some greatest hits are below for your consideration.
the one for if you want pasta & also have lil heavy cream lying around
the one for if you want to eat the tomatoes in their purest form
the one for when you also want a cae sal
the one for if you want to max out on summer veggies
the one for if you want a lil project & think you’re the hamptons’ chef
the one for if you’re just looking for a classic
the one for if you’re honestly just ready for fall
particularly good things i consumed recently
nothing special: nicole flattery — coming of age in andy warhol’s nyc — sally rooney adjacent
a slew of perfect birthday dinners & wishes — gretel, cellar door, dear margaret, & mi tocaya — immensely grateful for all the best people in my life & all the best food
a leisurely saturday — swimming & snacking @ promtory point
celebrating 29 & 16 with moll moll & some of the famdamnily — shrimp & steak fajitas, chips, salsa, guac, all the toppings & a vanilla sprinkle cake with dark chocolate ganache. we’ve decided we both feel old but like in a good way.
ripe: sarah rose etter — black holes — remarkably unsettling — sf tech bros, read entirely on two metra rides
is the perfect night best intentions & go tavern, yes or yes? the lil cheeseburger + fries & the cuppa shrimp live up to all the hype
currently eyeing — this, this, this & also plz advise on what loafers i should buy — these or these
the nachos @ taqueria chingon — they’re on special right now & they are absolutely phenomenal, get them with both al pastor & guac.
