Great piece on NPR on Mon. w/ tomato recipes from Frankies Spuntino rest. >>
I was really intrigued by one of the chef's recommendations for eating tomatoes at breakfast--I often have them for breakfast anyway, but this is a sweet twist: "Falcinelli suggests topping them with a little bit of sugar, honey and a sprinkle of cracked pepper." Maybe broiled with brown sugar and a drizzle of balsamic, too?
Off to buy more tomatoes...
