I knocked myself out and we haven't dined yet--my spouse is not yet home from the airport, having flown in from Denver. Has been in airports since 6 a.m. but with all the thunderstorms, lots of delays and lost luggage. But he's at the wine store now!

I wanted to use those heirloom tomatoes I picked from my garden for my salad. When it came time to chop them for the salad, I nearly burst into tears. They were so ugly! Now it is not as if I haven't grown heirlooms before: I have grown them for years.

Nevertheless, I chopped them up, along with a Campari tomato from the store. Then I tasted mine and the Campari. WOW~! The taste on mine was unbelievable!! I was so happy.

Well, time to dine! He just drove up!
