I guess tomatoes are doing well this season. The price is not extremely low, a tomato weighing around 300g costs about 100 yen at the moment,  but the quality is almost perfect and there are plenty of supply everywhere (in contrast to the serious shortage of onions). My husband got a lot ( he always loves purchasing everything in great quantities, and tends to forget what he bought after putting them in the fridge…is he a squirrel?) of well-ripe tomatoes. To eat them up while they are fresh, I tried to cook some unfamiliar dishes such as;

Ratatouille

(with some spaghetti which turned out a perfect summer lunch. I like it!)

and even home-made tomato ketchup (or tomato sauce).

Do they look different from ratatouille or ketchup you are familiar with? I think so too!
