The garden is cooking now

Not really. It is growing and I am cooking. And not too much of that even. We are eating. I believe in scorpaciatta: eat in season, and lots of it. Our current favorite is what I call a "Greek tomato sandwich", only because my mother fixed these when we vacationed in Greece and we had homegrown tomatoes to cook with. This was special because in The Netherlands one could only buy hothouse grown tomatoes (this is before European Common Market, yipes).

Here goes: sauté half an onion in some olive oil. Add about 5 peeled, homegrown tomatoes cut into 1 cm chunks, a little salt and pepper, and leave the whole thing to cook about 1 minute. Serve on homemade wholewheat bread. This is a knife and fork affair because the bread gets pretty soppy. Yum!
