tomato risotto with frizzled red onions
Some people get annoyed by early seasonal decorations and product promotions. They prefer to extend summer's enjoyment, especially when the weather is still warm. This resistance to embracing autumn early is a shared sentiment among those who cherish the current season. The author identifies with this group and wishes to continue summer cooking as long as produce allows. Specifically, the author wants to savor tomatoes throughout their availability. The author explains that they will miss these ingredients intensely during winter. Therefore, they refuse to prematurely replace them with autumnal items. The author makes a clear disclaimer about personal feelings. These feelings are not to be projected onto the transition of seasons. The author is not using summer produce as a reflection of their children's school transitions.
