The pictures of those colorful tomatoes makes me want to plant some. I had no idea there were so many varieties. (I’m a gardening novice. But will be learning since I have 18 acres to play with now. And a can of nonhybrid seeds.)

I do know it’s easy to make ricotta, so if I can find the right tomatoes, it’s a go! I imagine, though, I can just use what I have on hand - some romas and some kumatos. Being in the ‘country’, I like to limit my trips to town.

Saturday night sounds like a good time to try a quiche or a galette, after hiking the AT with a friend during the day. I’ll reward myself! (BTW, what does ‘galette’ mean? rustic pie?)

My French lessons are about 55 years old and very rusty; but here’s the definition From the online Merriam Webster:

1. a flat round cake of pastry often topped with fruit

2. a food prepared and served in the shape of a flat round cake

I think ‘flatness’ is the key :-)
