Crispin Sartwell, in his book Six Names of Beauty describes wabi-sabi, a concept from Japanese culture to describe “the beauty of the withered, weathered, tarnished, scarred, intimate, coarse, earthly, evanescent, tentative, ephemeral.”Autumn calls us to remember our own fragility and cherish this beauty. Be Well!
Catsup
1 Pint of withered cherry tomatoes rescued from a fate not fittin' a tomato. ½ cup water, pinch of salt.
In a small skillet, bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until tomatoes split open and water has all but dissolved.
Put tomatoes, skin and all, through a food mill or mess strainer.
Pour into a tiny little jar and appreciate the beauty and taste rendered on the last day of summer.
