What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Elevated Edibles: Thyme Tomato Toss! Hop aboard the yellow tomato bus for a ride that will take you down a two-lane country road. These golden nuggets, about the size of a cherry, are often less acidic and milder than their popular red cousins. I find them a touch sweeter as well. Their colors can range from pale yellow to sunny gold to bright orange, which makes for a stunning combo in marinated tomatoes or tasty fresh salsa. Just so you know, the skins are pretty tender, if that’s ever been an issue for you. With all that being said, now sit back, and enjoy the ride.

8 ounces yellow and red cherry tomatoes, cut into halves

My plants have exhausted their bounty for the year, so now I must settle for “hothouse” tomatoes from the grocery store. 😜

Many of our tomatoes have to come across the water from England AND from Spain, even further away!
