Let me just say that co-workers who bring in bumper crops of tomatoes ROCK. A few weeks ago it was regular sized tomatoes and grape tomatoes. Perfect for roasted veggie pasta and out-of-hand snacking, respectively. This week, it's cherry tomatoes, but the size of golf balls!! I sprayed them with balsamic vinegar spray-on dressing (what a great idea!!) and added salt and pepper. It was the perfect balance to my dinner at the ball park.

My brother-in-law wins the "most romantic moment" prize for calling out the cotton candy vendor. He skipped our section. My sister had been tracking his movements, determined that buying the cotton candy off the pole from the mobile vendor was better than the other cotton candy available. She was irked, and then he called the guy over from the next section. Awwww.

Whoever came up with putting a bit of popcorn in the bottom of the bag of cotton candy was a genius!! As far as we were concerned, anyway, the idea of salty + sweet = winner!! Chocolate would have been good, too, but we can't have everything, plus it's melty when it's hot out.

Feasting on a bratwurst, sipping iced tea, sitting on the first base line, seeing a bat shatter, a home run, a triple play, all in all an excellent Wednesday night with family.
