awww hell....just slice 'em up and put 'em between two slices of bread, with mayo, salt and pepper

YES SIR!!!! my fav sandwich... next to..... well quite a few but include tomato

Home grown tomatoes, the best, no argument there. The following pics are from a few years ago, growing conditions have not been good the past couple of years. You gotta do something with the excess.

first you pick them


then you give them a ride in the processor


then you apply some heat


While that's going on you go outside and pick some more


Then you serve, yum yum!


Repeat as often as necessary!

lenny, you just gave Raven a new photo to fantasize over

awwww Humps..ya just made me loose my appetite!!

get yo Bloodpressure meds an cholesterol meds out

Slice ya Mardo's lay on a large plate
Salt and Pepper them VERY generously
drown them with cream absolutely drown them
turn ya Mardo's over and over to ensure max saturation
consume with knife and fork, trying to squish some pulp into the plate
after consuming the chunky bits
take copious slices of FRESH white bread
and soak up the mushy mess of salt pepper cream and mardo innards
until the plate looks like it don't need washing
sliced cucumber can be alternated slice for slice with Mardo's too
exact method as above

I've got tomatoes in the garden.
They are delicious just picking them off the stem.

I have so many that I'm giving them away. I guess I should start canning.

Rightround, you can also freeze them. You can make a sauce and freeze it in zip lock bags. OR, you can freeze them whole. Just wash, dry off and put into zip lock bags. When you use them, just let them thaw just a little, run under a little cold water and the skin will come right off. Use as you would canned.

thanks Lenny! I might freeze some whole. I already made a big thing of sauce and have it in a vaccum seal bag in the freezer. Do you squeeze the seeds and guts out before you cook it? That part is not fun. lol

If I'm making sauce from fresh tomatoes, I like to remove most of the seeds because there is excess liquid there. I quarter them first, which makes removing it easy. If I'm using frozen or canned, I use them as is.

Olive Oil, Mozzarella, Fresh Picked Basil, and Tomato from the garden-YUMMY!

Freeze tomato's whole every season. Best way to do it.

never tried freezing them whole...thanks for the tip y'all
