summer beauty


in the market,
this year, i have discovered my new "it" there.
heirloom tomatoes!!

as a macrobiotic, im not a big "tomato" person, (nor eggplants or pepper) since they are tropical origin and considered a bit too yin, makes me feel off balance or even sneeze or runny nose when i overeat them ---typical yin condition : (

but look at these beautiful color and shape!
even though they are a bit more expensive than "normal"ones, they are just so tasty!

and i love their characters, too.
each one is so different, unique, just like new yorkers!

for a balance (to make it less too yin) , i add a bit of sea salt (and yes, to pay some respect those guys, i use special hawaiian sea salt) , or grill with basil from my own little organic garden ( i mean, pot)
yum yum yum!!

and each week, i try different hairloom tomatoes from different farm.
like tomato tasting!
