The rumor was true! I got two cases of Creole tomatoes last week; they weren't quite ripe so I had to wait a bit before slicing, but we've been eating at least two a day ever since. It's one of those things that remind me of childhood; over the summer, there was a plate of sliced cucumbers and tomatoes on the table with every meal, usually with a few hot peppers for those of us who wanted to spice things up. For the recipes this week I'm kind of all over the map. First, a seafood and artichoke dip that always seems to be the first thing to go when it's set out at parties. Next, a super-indulgent date night meal of surf and turf: Filet mignon topped by jumbo lump crab and smothered in bearnaise sauce. It definitely calls for some asparagus on the side. And finally, a perennial favorite, perfectly fried shrimp. Toss them on a salad, serve as is with your favorite cocktail and tartar sauces, or use them to build my favorite po'boy, a dressed fried shrimp po'boy. Enjoy the recipes, stay safe and healthy, and, as always, let me know what's on your mind. Best regards, Susan Ford, Publisher and Editorial Director
