The tomato is my favorite food. I eat them at least in 2 meals a day in the summer. Breakfast is either a BLT or bruschetta. Can eat them like an apple with a little bit of Lawry’s seasoning salt. Heaven!!

Like this one. Ina Garten’s Panzanella recipe. Tomatoes, basil, garlic, capers (Love these little guys!!!), garlic, toasted bread with a Dijon vinaigrette.

Another good one I have is so old and made so many times I don’t even know the amounts. Tried to find something similar on the net but nothing close came up.

Greek(?) Pasta Salad

Rotini tri-colored pasta
Tomatoes
Green pepper
Black olives
Feta cheese
Nuts (usually pecan)
Mayo
Dill
Garlic
Tarragon vinegar
Black pepper
A splash of brandy (not a brandy fan but it gives this some pizzazz!)

Missed you last week! Glad you’re back. Hope you had a good vaca!

I love Panzanella! And my favorite Summer food ever since I was a kid, has always been just sliced tomatoes on toast, with lots of Mayonnaise, salt, pepper - LOTS of pepper!

I don’t get the kinds of eating tomatoes now that I did when I was a kid; but that sandwich is great even with the ‘maters from the supermarket; and I often eat it in Winter, with the hothouse tomatoes :-)
