It was such a beautiful day on Tuesday that I decided to take a walk to the ferry building w/ my co-worker and check out the farmers' market. You could seriously come here for a taste of all the samples they pass out and be satisfied.I was determined to find some heirloom tomatoes to accompany my fresh mozzarella. Found such a variety, but didn't know what to choose so I just chose two of the prettiest ones. Two giant tomatoes for $4! That's kinda expensive for me, but I don't go here that often let alone leave the office during lunch so I thought what the heck.
I used one of the tomatoes to make us a salad for dinner. Just sliced the tomato and fresh mozzarella and picked some fresh basil from my little herb garden. Yes I finally have an herb garden now! It's dinky but its something! I drizzled the salad with balsamic vinegar and olive oil then sprinkled on some sea salt.
Really refreshing and the $4 was worth it. The tomatoes I get from the supermarket or Chinatown stores just aren't the same. I ate the second tomato the next day. Just cut it up into wedges and sprinkled some sea salt on it. So sweet and delicious!

yum. fresh mozarella and tomatoe!! mmmm!
i've been dying for a herb garden. i might just do it- i go through basil, parsley, chives, and all the other greens like crazy b/c i can't finish bunches sometimes, and they go bad. and i feel like i'm always at the grocery store buying stuff!
