The Last of the Summer Tomatoes

Summer is over and soon will be tomato season. These delicious red fruit or vegetable (the debate continues) will no longer be picked straight from the vine, sliced, and put on two pieces of bread with mayonnaise and sprinkled with salt and pepper. When you bite into this simple yet delicious sandwich, you bite into summertime. Or maybe you like a baked tomato pie with a flaky crust, or maybe you like them sliced in wedges and put on your salad. However you like them, they are at their best when the sun is hot and the days are long.
