lazy saturday

a couple weeks ago i joined a CSA (community supported agriculture, not confederate states of america) - the farm is in alabama, just across the georgia-alabama border, and every week they deliver vegetables to 20 or so locations in atlanta.  you pick which location you want to pick up from, order online by tuesday morning, and the food magically appears at that location on wednesday afternoon.  you can pick exactly what you want from what they have available, and this makes me SO HAPPY.  this week i ordered peaches, sweet potatoes, lots of cherry tomatoes, basil, and lettuce.  it's all gorgeous in that imperfectly, straight from a real farm, way, and tastes so good.  lunch today?  basil and tomatoes from my CSA box, fresh mozzarella from kroger (classy, i know), with lots of salt and pepper and a little olive oil.  heaven.

(i am a huge tomato snob, created from eating fresh-from-the-vine tomatoes that my parents grew when i was growing up.  i need a non-mealy texture plus actual taste, and these pretty little cherry tomatoes have both.  YAY HOORAY.)
