Tomato Number One, 2012

Tomato number one yellow pear

For the record, Tomato Number One used to hang from that stub you can just barely see behind the tomato on the right—possibly Tomato Number Two. I ate it, wonderfully sun-warmed (and ever so slightly green), so it didn’t last until I had my camera in hand.

Ah, the season has begun.

Coffee confession

Cuppa sun stripe

We all have our little rituals. We rarely admit to most of them.

I have returned to the coffee-drinking fold (legacy of our southern Italy trip), but as a hot-milk-with-coffee sort of coffee-drinker. And this cup is a 1:44 cup, with my usual amount of milk—that is, I plug in 1 minute 44 seconds on the microwave to heat the milk.

Bonus: the turntable leaves the cup-handle at an angle that makes it easy to retrieve the warmed mug.
