Childhood memories



This bowl reminds me of childhood, gathering all the ripe vegetables from the cottage garden and having a wonderful tomato salad for lunch. So, it wasn't a big surprise when I flipped it over and found a Czechoslovakia maker's mark on the bottom. While I reminisce, you can get the bowl at my vintage shop.


Summer has come and gone but lots of my tomatoes are just now ripening. Here's a great recipe that just couldn't be any easier, healthier, or tastier to use up all those late bloomers:


At least 2 cups of coarsley chopped tomatoes

1/2 cup of vinegar (any kind will do-infused or regular)

2 teaspoons of sugar.


Mix the vinegar with sugar in a separate container then pour over the tomatoes. It's so easy and really good. You can also substitute cucumbers for tomatoes since these are so plentiful, as well. You can cut the cucumbers any way you like (I like mine shredded). If you feel like you want to add a bit more, you can add some basil or parsley too! Enjoy!
