Ever seen anything this huge? or this beautiful?
I wish I could say this tomato came from my own backyard. But, I found this portly guy at a local Trader Joe's today. Filling both my hands, and measuring almost 6 inches across its longest edge, this overgrown heirloom has some fascinating shape.

Heirloom tomatoes are simply superior to anything I've ever tasted. And, after trying to recreate the Caprese salads I had grown to love in Italy, I can say heirlooms are the closest thing to reliving that authentic experience.
