I say tomatoes

Tiny Toms have arrived at Wilson Farms in Lexington. They're the best winter tomato you can find; they actually taste like a summer fruit.

Tinies are larger than cherry tomatoes. Each one is about the size of a golf ball. I like to cut them into slender wedges and let them sit in a bowl with a little olive oil, white wine vinegar, and salt for half an hour. Then I pour the bowl and its juices over red leaf lettuce.

You can also tip the tomato mixture into cooked penne and add lots of fresh parsley. It makes a dreary day a little less dreary.
