\nfood is poetry..food brings life to the day..it accompanies us throughout the day..mixing flavors and aromas… sensations that touch the heart and soul
\n\"tomatoes<\/a>
\n 
\nOur short stay at the beach house was filled with intense aromas and flavors that brought life to days filled with sea, sand, and sun..the locally grown tomatoes of Francavilla  ( in Abruzzo, near seaside town of Pescara) so sweet they truly touched my soul and after many days of \u2018sugo\u2019 with this sweet gem, I could not resist but to dedicate a poem to them\u2026.
\nOde to the Tomatoes of Francavilla<\/strong>
\nHow do I love thee
\nLet me count the ways
\nI love thee to the depth and breadth of my palate
\nA perfect creation from the brain to the palate from the palate to the fingers end
\nI love thee from every nook and cranny of my \u2018cucina\u2019 that you infuse with your perfume
\nYour fragrance is so heavenly it brings a passion to my day
\nI love thee for your red beauty when ripe..a color so vivid it needs no light to bring light to my day
\nI love thee for a juice so sweet..every drop dances on my tongue and in my mouth
\nMy stomach, practically begs, in anticipation, for my mouth to release this nectar so that it too can have the pleasure…. of your elixir
\n
