Isn't that just about the most enticing BLT you've ever seen?
I know there's a friendly competition going on over at Doc Chaz based on Growing The Great American Tomato but I gotta tell you - my CEO has you all beat.
Last week my department went out to her place near Brenham for a retreat and I got introduced to her garden. She has the most outrageously happy tomato plants I've ever seen. There are eight of them and each one is heavier than the previous with fruit. They're at least five feet tall. They've burst out of their cages and are riotous with their delight. You can smell them 20 feet away.
I was gifted with a basket of red globes to take home and for lunch today I ate one of these sandwiches. I forgot how good tomatoes are supposed to taste. I was raised on home grown sweeties and now that I've run out I've got to go kiss some ass and convince to her bring some back to me every week while they last. I just don't feel like I can ever eat another gassed-in-the-warehouse-store-bought-tomato again.
Good luck competitors! I wish you could mail me some!Labels: bloggers, cooking |
Darn it, I am hungry for tomatoes now, thanks. I like ripe tomatoes diced into warm white rice, try it sometime.
