One of my most favorite things. Not in sauces, per se, but just alone. Perhaps accompanying a cucumber with some red wine vinegar and evoo. (I hear Rachael spewing out the definition of her acronym in my ear...) But alas, tomatoes are just mushy orbs of crap this time of year. I miss tomatoes. They are sad and pathetic slices of their former selves. It would be nice to to have a summer tomato in February. A Valentine tomato, maybe. Can you invent one o' those, Eh-net? Tomatoes.
