Homemade salsa, Fresh Tomato Chili, and best of all BLT's... any other tasty dishes that can be made with fresh tomatoes? or does anyone else get excited about random strangeness like this?

skymama 37 #2 August 14, 2006 I have a friend in AL who is in Heaven when he just has fresh tomatoes, Blue Plate mayo and white bread.

SkydiveStMarys 0 #5 August 14, 2006 A tomato (thick, but NOT too thick) slice topped with a slice of Buffalo mozzarella, a basil leaf, and drizzled with Balsamic Vinaigrette (or any light oil based dressing) Mmmmmm top it with some fresh ground pepper.

livendive 8 #6 August 14, 2006 My tomato plants are going nuts...two of them are so tall they come up to the middle of my chest! I got a late start, so I've only gotten to eat a couple dozen cherries & a couple Roma's so far, but that looks to be changing in the very near future. I also planted some california wonders (bell peppers), thai hot chili peppers, and jalapenos, all of which have plenty of fruit growing on them. Here's my question on the peppers though, how the hell will I know when they're ripe? Seriously! Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

skymama 37 #7 August 14, 2006 I did something like that a few weeks ago, only I used Feta cheese and stuck them under the broiler for a few minutes. They were really good that way too!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If, you want them hotter... wait till they turn red. As for the other peppers, when they look 'right' to you, go ahead and pick them. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

irisheyes 0 #11 August 14, 2006 I love tomatoes too! My favorite is the recipe Bobbi posted, but a close second is fresh tomatoes diced up with fresh cucumber, a little bit of diced onion, olive oil and vinegar and a dash of garlic salt. Yum!!!
