Tomato treats

It was a nice local dinner tonight with a treat of a "tiny tomato" salad courtesy of a friend at work. We had perfect yellow pear and cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and chopped onion with vinegar + oil. Also finished the sweet corn from last week ---- amazing that it's still ok ---- remember years ago how you had to rush the ears from the stalk directly to the pot of boiling water? I still prefer a good old fashioned open pollinated variety. The kernal actually holds up and there's something to chew! I guess I'm in the minority and the new super sweet varieties hold up longer for the growers and buyers ..........
