A Bowl Full of Cherries (Not)

Cherry Tomatoes. I liked the varied shades

Bowl of cherries

idiom- definition from Wikipedia

  1. An idiom (Latin: idioma, “special property”, from Greek: ἰδίωμα – idíōma, “special feature, special phrasing, a peculiarity”, f. Greek: ἴδιος – ídios, “one’s own”) is a phrase or a fixed expression that has a figurative, or sometimes literal, meaning. An idiom’s figurative meaning is different from the literal meaning.

 “sometimes used ….to mean just the opposite”

If you’ve been with me since the beginning of this blog (almost six years) you’ve probably seen one of my favorite posts from 2009.  Shot in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.  Fiestaware bowl.

LIFE IS A FIESTAWARE BOWL OF QUEEN ANNE CHERRIES

“Fiesta® Dinnerware was designed by Frederick Hurten Rhead in 1936 and is now among
the most collected china products in the world.”  Go to their website and see what colors were produced in which year(s).     http://www.hlchina.com/fiestacolors.htm   This bowl with the cherries was photographed on a balcony  in Sheboygan WI in August.

First Harvest

Fortunately I have a friend who has an abundance of garden tomatoes.

Midnight Snack Tomatoes

Unretouched photo of cherry tomatoes called Midnight Snack

So this happened after I posted the lone tomato pic

A knitting friend saw my lone cherry tomato harvest post with the accompanying nickel photo . She’d had an abundant harvest. There was a box of raspberries too but I ate them before I thought to take a pic.

Here’s what she brought me and I threw them into olive oil and garlic (thanks David) and turned them into a fresh tomato sauce.

Thank you Joanna.
Freshly grated Parmesan

Still Life of a Friend’s Harvest

Today I got a special delivery of tomatoes, cucumber and basil from a friend’s garden. She delivered the produce to my front porch.

Steve and I enjoyed the tomatoes at supper.

Summer tastes delicious

James Grew Basil

And it made delicious pesto

I’m familiar with my ole magimix food processor . This was a Cadillac
summer supper

Bob’s Red Mill Vegi Soup Mix

The Last Tomatoes

Combined my few tomatoes, the ones my neighbor brought over and some brown cherry tomatoes from the store- olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper and a pinch of Italian Seasoning.

Once the sauce cooked down a bit, I tossed in some drained penne and added freshly grated Parmesan. Salad on the side. Delicious supper

It was the combination of colors that invited me to capture this photo.
