So here it is: About a cup and a half of cut-up tomatoes (we used Black Krim and Black Prince), stirred together in a bowl with about a cup of sliced onions that have been sauteed in olive oil with a crushed clove of garlic, salt and pepper. Mix in only about a tablespoon of chopped fresh oregano and parsley. A little more salt and pepper, a tablespoon of grated Parmesan, and half a cup of diced goat cheese. We've been delighted with Bodega Goat Cheese, but good luck finding it if you don't haunt Bay Area farmers' markets.
Put the tomato-onion mix in a rolled-out crust in a tart pan. Top with a handful of halved cherry tomatoes (we used Sungold and Sweet Million). Bake at 375 for about half an hour.
Most of the ingredients were so local, I'm already a Locavore, and it's not even August.
Just want to add: The concoction of four different tomato varieties was fantastic -- we got all the sweetness and acidity we wanted without tinkering with (gasp) sugar or vinegar.
And then... How can that cat-killing Senator Bill Frist call himself a doctor?! OK, just because you wanted to know what I'm mad about.

Damn! 4 varieties of tomato? I count myself lucky to get one that doesn't taste of cardboard!
I'd be mad too.
MG: Well, we ONLY used four of the six varieties I'm growing in pots on the patio!! Didn't want to be overly prodigal so early in the summer.
