Delving into the New York Times dining & wine section I came across a sight for sore eyes. A trend that was once all the range is coming full circle and peaking once more. I’ve already told you the “trend” but I’ll name again for good measure…sun-dried tomatoes.
Ohh how I love them, and I must admit…though apparently they were dubbed “over” I never stopped craving the sweet rustic flavor and the convenience of their packaging. I agree with the article’s author, Mark Bittman, that the oil soaked variety were beyond nasty (for lack of a better word) but a good sun-dried tomato is just as he puts it, “like candy.”
Throw em in a salad, jazz up a grilled cheese, add a little spice to pasta, the possibilities are endless.
Read Bittman’s sheer joy upon the return of this trend. Now that I’ve written this post I need to satisfy a serious craving.
At roughly $4 a pound, I’ll be stocking up!

Where do you like to get your sun dried tomatoes? Any recommendations on which “grocery store brand” is better?

I’ve actually found a pretty good variety at Trader Joes! There’s a store in foggy bottom and Bethesda.
