( Via Terrain )
You might have noticed that I have been missing in action this week. My arm was twisted to take an impromptu trip to the Country. My sister's home is so lovely, serene and perfect for savoring Summer. You can hear cows moo, birds chirp and the grass grow. While visiting, I had the best homegrown tomatoes of my life. The fun thing is that I picked them myself! What I did miss was speedy Internet, and I gave up and unplugged. So I have plenty to share today.
Sorry that there was no Foodie Friday this week. But Food52 offers 7 Extraordinary Ways to Cook with Fresh Tomatoes. Make the most of those end of Summer tomatoes. YUM!

This week, I tiptoed to the garden barefoot and sans gloves and hat. That was a mistake. Look to Shop Terrain for the best garden gear anywhere. We're talking floral Hunter boots, gorgeous garden gloves and more.

One sure way to make Summer last is with self tanner. My very favorite, bareMinerals Beautifully Bronzed Deluxe Faux Tan with Brush, is back in stock at QVC. The brush is key for fool proof application. My bottle has lasted over 2 years!
