Just Sliced: THIS is why I grow tomatoes!
It was a delicious sandwich. I’d have photographed it… but I HAD TO EAT IT as soon as I put the top slice of bread on. There was simply no time for photographing it.
I almost tear up now remembering it… my first one slice sandwich this summer.

(wipes chin) Sigh… I know. It was so good. I think I’ll toss some mozzarella on that leftover bit and broil it for some lunch today.

You had leftovers? In my house that tomato would have been gone in 7.2 seconds flat. No self-control whatsoever. (Besides, I’ve heard that you shouldn’t refrigerate tomatoes, it destroys their texture or something, so I always just eat them in one go!)

I know, I know, terrible isn’t it?… but between the family, we ate about 6 huge tomatoes this size yesterday. We truly are over-run at the moment.
I’ve read that about not refriging tomatoes too.. and rarely do. Never whole ones. Besides, out on the counter, they are a constant reminder of the goodness ready to be devoured.

I literally salivated when I saw that picture. It’s a little embarrassing.

Katied L, I’m sorry to hear yours are being devoured by the ground hogs. I hope you get some soon!

I never refrigerate my tomatoes. I think it ruins the flavor and texture. They usually keep for quite a while on the counter (as long as they’re in a dry, not too hot spot).

I had one like that … and I managed to take a photo before I ate it (makes note to self to post it). A sprinkling of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper is all it takes to make a tomato sammich perfect (oh, and freshly baked granary bread properly buttered with butter …)

I like my mater sandwich with mayo, seasalt and coarse ground black pepper. Regular mayo, not scary miracle whip.
