Nothing immediately comes to mind that is even close to as good as a tomato fresh out of a garden. We “make do” year round with the hothouse variety but a fresh ‘mater with a little salt and pepper…incomparable.:bowdown:

I know exactly what you mean. I’d sworn that I was going to plant some this year, but alas didn’t get around to it. My Mom did, however, and thankfully she’s willing to share. :cooldance:

Yep, had a plate last week of sliced tomato with mayo and topped with salt & pepper, YUM!

Rhonda, my yard’s too shady but a friend’s mom sent me 4 this week-end.
Uh-huh, Ginger, it’s on my lunch menu.

I’m not a big tomato fan. There’s just something about the squishy inside that I don’t like. Fresh sweet corn from our garden… now that’s heaven.

Mmmm, I love a lettuce and tomato sandwich, topped with plenty of pepper and just a smidge of salt!
Our tiny crop is finally starting to ripen. Another fine reason to make the trek, Jen!

Kira, some garden-fresh Silver Queen runs a close second. :thumbsup:
Anna, Anna, Anna, you forgot our favorite. The pork product. Bacon, honey. In fact, that’s lunch today. A BLT. :cooldance:

cool love tomatoes

Yeah, the bacon’s good, Jen, but there’s still something quite heavenly about a tomato sandwich on toasted bread with a little mayo, salt and pepper.
Mmmm. Great. Now I’m salivating…

I waited on you, Anna!
They are yummy, Kimh. :thumbsup:
Okay, Kris, twist my arm. I’ll have to try it sans lettuce and bacon. :mrgreen:

My mom–who supplied the ‘maters–makes the best green tomato casserole. If you’re from the south, you’ve probably had this. For those of you who haven’t, the green ‘maters have a tangy taste, kind of like artichoke hearts. Covered with cheese and buttery cracker crumbs! YUM!

Ah…Raven Hart, you tease, you! We need the full recipe. I grew up eating fried green tomatoes — which I love — but I never had green tomato casserole. Divulge, divulge!! :fryingpan:

I planted a Big Boy plant and now it seems to have some sort of “tomato wilt” disease. There are 2 puny tomatoes on it and no blooms. My cherry tomatoes, however, are thriving. But it’s kinda hard to make a sandwich outta those. :wallbash:

It’s just not the same is it, Marilyn? A cherry tomato sando? :happy2:
