Heirloom Tomatoes and Fresh Salsa

Heirloom tomatoes was on sale last week at my grocery store. They looked really good and I was planning on buying some ripe tomatoes to make fresh salsa. It is getting cooler and cooler here and some trees have started to turn. I am not ready for the cooler weather yet. This is my attempt to hold on to however many days of warmness we have left.

Snap Thursday - Favorite Tomatoes

My favorite tomatoes are in season!!! They are smaller, rounder, way tastier than the usual grape tomatoes I've seen, but they are grape tomatoes.

They are so good! I ate them with salad or just pop them in my mouth as snack.

How about you? What is your favorite tomatoes?

HCB: Chocolate Tomato Cake with Mystery Ganache

This cake turned out better than I expect. Which is not hard, considering I have very low expectations (sorry, Rose!) But I just could not bring myself to think or imagine that a cake made with tomato soup would turn out edible. If I were not so determined to bake everything from the book, I would have skip this cake in a heartbeat.

For the sake of scratching off one more cake off the list, I made 1/4 recipe, which yield 8 cupcakes, 50 grams each.

While I was prepping all the ingredients, it occurred to me that I should have just made 1/8 recipe. But oh well, it was too late.
