Just when you loyal readers were saying - "hey, isn't it about time for some of those tomatoes to be poppin out of Nutter's garden?"
Yes, the cherry tomatoes were here for Fourth of July - and now the Beefsteaks are coming in by the TON!!! (OK...that's a stretch....but they are come in by multiple pounds)).
Here's a great summer idea - should you be lucky enough to have an abundance of homegrown tomatoes. If you don't, find a neighbor that has been growing them. Every tomatoe gardener always has way too many for himself.
Just slice those bad boys up nice and thick - and throw them on the grill. If you happen to have a nice marinade laying around to sautee them in, get that marinade going nice and hot. As soon as you throw the tomatoes on, give them a nice generous sprinkling of your favorite cheese. Tonight, I chose Romano and Parmesean.....they hold up to the heat a little better. Anyway, this is a no brainer for when you are tired of eating those tomatoes raw.
"Hey, what's that parked in front of the tomaters, Nutter?" - why it is a couple of nice, wild Mahi Mahi filets!!! Talk about easy....just get the fish, stick it in a ziplock with some olive oil, garlic, pepper, red pepper flakes, and a bit of lemon juice and you are good to go!
Good eatin - always a HappyUP!!! (Especially when it's easy......and pretty cheap. The Mahi Mahi you see above cost about $6. It would easily feed two.....probably three....maybe four if you loaded everyone up on those free tomatoes that you got from your neighbor!!!)

Great cooking tips, although I don't think the neighbours would appreciate smoke produced from grilling on the balcony in Paris. One of the things I miss most about summer is barbeques in the US.
