My main veggie garden is tomatos and basil. Some days I'll just go out and pick a cherry tomato and a basil leaf, wrap the leaf around the tomato and pop it in my mouth. That's what summer tastes like! Yum!!

Pru, drink lots of water, and if it doesn't subside in a couple of days see a doctor, please. 6 Ibprofen is past the prescription amount and could be dangerous!

Throw them under the broiler with some jalepenos and onions until they have blackened spots, turning over once or twice.

Put in food processor with a bunch of cilantro, some lime juice and salt and whirl it up until it's salsa consistency.

Best salsa ever.

Clearly the best use of the tomato.

Whee! I'm in New York City! (at last!) All kinds of bad traffic and subway interruptions because of a broken water main, but, it's still an amazing place.

Are you gonna see "8" tonight?

This sounds like an intriguing walking tour.

We went to the SD Zoo Safari Park (FKA Wild Animal Park). Our main goal was to see the Cheetah Run. It was a frickin' awesome experience!!! Susan posted a crappy video I shot on her Facebook page.

So.....

Headliner is a big Amazing Race fan. In the first leg of the new season the teams fly to Taipei Taiwan.

Headliner visited Taipei this summer so she was literally squealing at all the places she had been that the racers visited.

Headliner was there in late June so I started thinking, I know they film well in advance of the airing, how close was she to seeing them? I did a little detective work and it turns out she missed possibly seeing the race in progress by one day.
