Rotten Tomatoes

This blows. Summers in New York are hazy, hot, and humid, but there are some payoffs for enduring that misery, and one of them is fresh Jersey tomatoes from late July through early September. (Others: sweet corn, blueberries, Long Island's south shore beaches from about 4-7 PM, late-day weekday picnics on the Sheep Meadow, and the occasional dramatic thunderstorm).

I blame Dick Cheney.
