Deliciousness is

Diva or Sweet Success cucumber slices chilled and eaten at the same time with perfectly ripe Sungold cherry tomatoes dipped in a little ranch dressing.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

What are some of your favorite out of the garden "deliciousness is" items?

Ripe sweet fresh mangoes, getting tons now. Frozen, it's like eating sorbet.
Getting several ripened on the bush pineapples now too. Oh my!
Both together make a killer sauce for Mahi-Mahi.

New peas !

New potatoes, baby carrots and peas plus an out of season roast. To top it all off the game warden dropped by and stayed for lunch he said it was tasty roast beef. My grandmother lived in interesting times.

A bite of mozzarella cheese, a bite of tomato. Rinse and repeat.

Microwaved 1/4" slices of yellow squash, eggplant, zucchini, jalapenos and sweet onions topped with real butter, then sprinkled with Gouda crumbles and then placed under the broiler for two min. or less.
I always lay 3 or 4 thick slices of tomato on the plate. For me, that's hard to beat.

A salad of sliced heirloom tomatoes (any colors available, the more the better), topped with blanched White Acre peas, crumbled goat's cheese or feta, a chiffonade of fresh basil, minced shallots and a drizzle of sherry vinaigrette. Yumolicious!

Sun Oven roasted cherry tomatoes, really great olive oil, lots of garlic, lots of parmesan, and a dollop of homemade pesto over pasta. Oh my!

Or

Standing by the raspberry bed and just grazing. After four years, they REALLY produced well this year. Between me and my 8YO son, not many made it into the house, and poor DH didn't get many!

My favorite dish, in the world period, derived from my mother's cooking and gardening - Mix the following into one dish on your plate: 2 or 3 chopped slices of good tomato, cooked crowder peas or speckled butter beans, crisp fried okra (with cornmeal mind you) and a chopped fresh cayenne pepper. I'll pass up lobster and steak for this. Only problem is I end up eating at least 2 if not 3 plates full (or just until everything runs out).

My moma always said she could not get her biscuits and gravy to run out together.

"Raw" tomato sauce: Cut up whatever tomatoes looks to be at their peak , with a little crushed garlic, chopped capers, minced fresh basil and parsley and a good glug of nice, fruity olive oil. Toss this base with a little Kosher salt and let it sit while your pasta is cooking (we use linguine for this sauce). Cook the pasta to "al dente" and then toss with the now super juicy tomato mixture. Keep tossing for about 5 minutes until the pasta absorbs most of the tomato goodness...definitely hard to beat during the peak of the season!
