    No, I've been using them up in bits of other things--blt sandwich is
    the favorite way. (G)

    Your anniversary or the anniversary of Shannon's selling prime rib? (G)


    which I could not figure out. So, I asked the server what she had --
    it was a fried green tomato BLT. Sounds interesting.

    I'd rather have my fried green tomatoes as a side dish. A proper
    southern 'mater sandwich is 2 slices of white bread slathered with
    Duke's mayo and several (one, if it's a beefsteak or other large 'mater)
    thick slices of tomato as filling. Best eaten leaning over the kitchen
    sink or with plenty of napkins.

    That's one I'd indulge in if I'd had a lower carb day or burned a lot of

    be more carbs than I'd want.

    It was our 60th anniversary.

    Congratulations! We're some years behind you, celebrating #44 the week

    We had them once while travelling thru the south on one of our trips,
    could have been the one to NOLA in 2012. Of course now Steve won't order
    them because of the corn meal coating but I might, depending on what
    other sides are available.

    and the ceramic grill instead. You may decide to convert after tasting
    the results. (G)

    It was our 60th anniversary.

    Congrats!

    fried green tomatoes

    I think I have only had them once or twice -- perhaps after the
    movie with that title peeked my curiousity.

    When I was growing up we always had enough tomato plants that we had
    all the ripe tomatoes we could use and let the end of season green
    ones get composted. It's only been in recent years that I've
    discovered that fried green tomatoes and green tomato chow-chow are
    both darned tasty.

    The only tomato we will buy is Campari variety.
    They are put out by a Canadian company

    That would be Mastronardi Produce out of Kingsville, Ontario, in
    Essex County, the heart of Canada's tomato country, not far from
    Windsor and Detroit.

    We did recently run into a salad tomato that was pretty good --
    called a sugar bomb and about the size of a thumbnail.

    That's a variety of grape tomato, smaller than a cherry tomato,
    also developed by or at least for Mastronardi.

    We went to Shannon's Irish Pub on Tuesday for an Anniversary dinner of
    their prime rib.
    Your anniversary or the anniversary of Shannon's selling prime rib?
    (G)

    It was our 60th anniversary.

    Congratulations... :)

    The couple at the next table had sandwiches, one of which I could
    not figure out. So, I asked the server what she had -- it was a
    fried green tomato BLT. Sounds interesting.
    I'd rather have my fried green tomatoes as a side dish. A proper

    I think I have only had them once or twice -- perhaps after the movie
    with that title peeked my curiousity.

    I saw that movie, and also had my interest piqued... The fried green
    tomato BLT also sounds intriguing...

    BTW -- my Masterbuilt Electric Smoker died when I was trying to do the pastrami and I had to nurse the meat on my Weber's propane grill using only the front burner on low. I am even more eager to see the pellet grill that Stephen is using before I decide what to do. This is my
    third electric to die on me -- kept triping the ground interupt
    monitor. I.e. some sort of short.

    That's a rather revolting development...

    We can get heirloom tomatoes at the farmer's market. Some may still be available in late September, have to keep an eye out for them.

    We gave up on the farmer's markets around here. They are only open on limited times, once per week. Plus we could not get decent products

    Ours is only once a week, from 8-12, starting in April, thru the end
    of October. Then it is only 10-12 from November to March. Lots of good eating, especially in the summer months.

    I don't know what time our farmer's markets are open, but if we are just
    at home with the two of us -- we are rarely up before noon. When we
    have company, or at a picnic, or on a tour, we rapidly adjust to a
    schedule that is more in tune with everyone else.

    When you come for the picnic, you'll have to visit our market. Don't
    know if there will be tomatoes or not, maybe some late season ones but there will be plenty of other local produce.

    What day of the week are they open?

    When I was growing up we always had enough tomato plants that we had
    all the ripe tomatoes we could use and let the end of season green
    ones get composted. It's only been in recent years that I've
    discovered that fried green tomatoes and green tomato chow-chow are
    both darned tasty.

    When we first moved here, we were able to find some sunny spots where we
    could have success growing tomatoes. Over the span of 50 years, the
    trees in the public land behind our house have grown so tall and fight
    so much for canopy space, that we can no longer find anyplace where they
    will grow. I've taken to pots on our deck that get a moderate amount of afternoon sun for growing two types of basil and a spicy oregeno that we
    like. That is about all we can manage. The last year (a decade ago??)
    that we tried a tomato in a pot there, we got two tomatoes the entire
    summer.

    The only tomato we will buy is Campari variety.
    They are put out by a Canadian company

    That would be Mastronardi Produce out of Kingsville, Ontario, in
    Essex County, the heart of Canada's tomato country, not far from
    Windsor and Detroit.

    That is them. I was initially amazed that such a tasty tomato could
    grow in a Canada greenhouse, but I now believe that it is just the breed
    of tomato. We are seeing other companies offer the Campari, but we
    stick with the Sunset brand.

    We did recently run into a salad tomato that was pretty good --
    called a sugar bomb and about the size of a thumbnail.

    That's a variety of grape tomato, smaller than a cherry tomato,
    also developed by or at least for Mastronardi.

    That might well mean that we got them at BJs. Thanks. I'll make a note
    to look for them there next time we go. When we first got the Campari
    tomatoes they were only at BJs box store -- but now everybody carries
    them, albeit at a more expensive price for the most part.

    Title: MEXICAN BEAN SANDWICH
    Categories: Beans, Sandwiches, Mexican
    Yield: 2 Servings

    1 ts Vinegar
    1/4 ts Chili powder (up to 1 tsp)
    1/8 ts Onion powder
    2 ts Salad dressing
    3/4 c Pinto or kidney beans
    3 tb Chopped celery
    2 Flour tortillas
    4 Slices tomato
    2 Leaves lettuce

    Mexican Bean Sandwich

    Use chili powder to your personal taste. Salad dressing should be
    low-fat mayonnaise type. Beans should be cooked, drained, unsalted,
    chopped. (If you use canned beans see the dietary changes below.)

    Mix vinegar, chili powder and onion powder with salad dressing in
    bowl. Add beans and celery; mix well. Soften tortillas in heated
    frying pan for about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn if necessary. Place half of
    bean filling onto each tortilla near one edge. Top with lettuce and
    tomato. Roll up.

    Makes 2 servings - one sandwich each.

    Per serving: 175 calories, 3 g fat (15%), 1 mg cholesterol, 53 mg
    sodium.

    If using canned drained beans, sodium will be 318 mg for pinto beans
    and 282 mg sodium for kidney beans.

    This combination of raw vegetables and seasonings makes a tasty
    sandwich that's high in fiber and low in fat.

    Hi Dale,

    we
    have company, or at a picnic, or on a tour, we rapidly adjust to a schedule that is more in tune with everyone else.

    OTOH, we're on more of a standard schedule still. Some of the area
    markets go longer I believe, but we stay with the one in WF.

    When you come for the picnic, you'll have to visit our market. Don't
    know if there will be tomatoes or not, maybe some late season ones but there will be plenty of other local produce.

    What day of the week are they open?

    Saturday only. They tried a Wednesday afternoon market one year but it
    kept getting rained out. It also had fewer farmers participating as they
    were using that time for work in the fields.

    their friend's houses. One lady's son brought pepperoni bread (also had mozzarela cheese in it) from NYC; served warm, it was really good.
    almost tempting enough to make a meal of, by itself. (G)

    All the women in my family love avocados and I've grown to
    tolerate them.

    Title: GARDEN OF EDEN SANDWICH
    1 lg Avocado; mashed
    1/4 c Cashews; salted
    1 sm Onion; sliced thin
    1 Ripe tomato; sliced
    4 sl American cheese -=OR=-
    4 sl Swiss cheese;
    2 Hard rolls; halved

    I like cashews but I'm not sure I'd want them in a cheese and veggie
    sandwich. Everything else sounds good together. I'd probably add
    butter and/or mayo and a sprinkle of ground chile pepper as well.

    Another variation on the theme ...

    Neither Gail nor I have taken much of a liking to them. Our son likes
