[boatbums:] It's way past dinnertime here, and you just made my mouth start watering! YUM!!!

[Dr. Eckleburg:] I miss beefsteak tomatoes. Out here they have these round red things that taste like a wet sponge.

I know what you mean (both of you). One of my clients (I am a computer tech) gets his laptop fixed for free, because he always remembers me when he is passing through Kansas when Beefsteaks are in season... Every year he brings me a brown paper grocery bag full of them.

I still eat them on the back porch, salt shaker in hand... with iced sweet-tea in a Ball jar close to hand. Not much better than that. :D

You must be a Southerner!!! I remember fondly summer dinners of fresh picked tomatoes and sweet corn. Maybe a few slices of sweet onions, too. Now THAT'S a meal!!!
