Note: These beautiful cherry tomatoes were grown and gifted to me by my friend Chato Purdy. The green beans were grown by Larry and Lina, a Filipino couple who sell their fresh produce at the Saturday Farmers Market, here on Molokai, in front of American Savings Bank. The fresh basil comes from my garden, or you can get it at Kumu Farms here on Molokai. Remember, freshness counts!
