My Mom cracks me up.
She was raised a poor gal.
I’ll n go home and say Mom, let me take you to dinner.
She’ll retort “Oh No, I’ll just have a tomater sangwich” LOL
And I gotta admit they are pretty hard to beat with good homegrown tomaters and mayo. LOL
When I was a kid, Queens still had small farms. All we did with the tomatoes was cut them, lay them out on a plate, sprinkle a little salt and voila!
My dad is the same way.
