August has OFFICIALLY arrived!Each year, we plant 18 tomato plants to include some beefsteak varieties that, of course, ripen in August. When they do, we prepare two perfect onion slices, two perfect hamburger buns, and, of course, two large 1/4 pound hamburgers. The burgers are grilled and placed on the buns with an onion slice for each.
THEN, with respect and great ceremony, Ed selects the holy, sacrificial tomato from the garden and it is sliced into thick slices, two of which shall be assigned with one for each burger. Finished, the artform stands almost six inches tall.
A cold root beer is prepared and it is time. Amongst many rude noises, the August harvest is welcomed into the Erdmann household. NOW! Its time to can salsa and ketchup!
