Restaurant heirloom tomato salad - oh, those...

supergirl · July 27, 2006

I've been waiting not-very-patiently for something non-cherry to ripen, which will be in the next couple of days.

Last week, I just couldn't wait and got the heirloom tomato salad w/fresh mozzerella and pesto when out with the girls. It was really, really tasty. I got it again on this week's outing, thinking about how next week I will have my own ripe tomatoes and won't need to eat theirs. When the waiter brought it, I asked if he knew what type of tomatoes they were. "Heirlooms." "Thank you. Yes, I saw that, but do you know what kind?" "Those two are yellow, and that one is red." Oh. That wasn't quite what I meant, but I let it go at that. FWIW, the "red" one looked more like a black one, but I thought the whole thing was pretty funny.
