Sometimes it is worth putting a sock it in. I mean, I am ALL for riveting dinner conversation, and online community and texting and chatting and writing and blogging… BUT when I want to focus on a bite, to soak up the flavors rolling around on my tongue or grasp the lingering finish of a good wine… silence. is. golden.

…. ……….. …..

…. … ……

…. mmmmm.

Yeah, you should try these tomatoes. Worth a moment of silence, and so easy—yet they add sophistication to any plate:

Stuffed Tomatoes
4 servings, half a tomato each.

3 T toasted pine nuts
chiffonade of basil
1/2 – 1/3 cup fresh bread crumbs
optional: 1 T pesto
2-3 T freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino
seasoning: S&P (fresh basil, oregano, Italian Seasonings, etc.)
olive oil

Combine ingredients except olive oil. Cut tops off tomatoes, remove inner seeds and give a good shake over sink. Set upright, cutting 1/4 inch of bottom of tomatoes so they stand properly, if necessary. Fill with mixture, drizzle with 1-2 tsp olive oil per tomato. Heat in 375 oven for 10 minutes and serve.

ooooh. This is good. I am training my husband to like tomatoes and this is just the thing. Who can resist cheese, basil and tomatoes? One thing I might do different-throw these babies on the grill. Anything with fire under it in the summer is good eats! Great recipe!
