Attack of the Killer Tomato Saturday
I’m growing low calorie food! Hazzah! This is my very 3rd attempt at at garden and it’s going well. Take a look at what hooked me. Here’s how it started.
Then last year, during my sophomore year gardening I experienced the Epic Tomato Fail of 2009! When it came to planting my very second vegetable garden, my expectations were high it even made it into the newspaper column the italics is that Tomato Fail breaking news.
Last spring, in this column, I described the strange cucumgourd spawned from my very first vegetable garden. The mutant cucumber was frightening, yet compelling, like a vampire. I also lovingly recalled my first tomatoes. It was the tomatoes that hooked me on gardening. Read on…
But this year – as evidenced in the photo above I’m back on track. I’ve got tomotoes coming out my ah – wait that doesn’t sound good. Um. Well there’s lotsa tomotoes. I love the look of ‘em the taste of ‘em, all of it! If you’ve got a way to serve them I want to hear it. So show me your tomotoes! How do you like to fix them? I need advice. Email us your recipes and pics. dtbmulf@gmail.com – or your tomoto blog post. It’s going to be the ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMOTO SATURDAY! We’ll be tomato central for pics, links, a chef with great ideas, and comedy.
Oh wow! I tried tomatoes twice and one year, nothing and one year – one
And it was the tiniest little thing ever! lol
You must have the touch for sure!

I have tomato envy! This is my first year for “slicing tomatoes”, and it has not been good. Two tomatoes from dozens of blossoms. I’ll try again next year in better soil.
As for how to prepare them, I just slice them and sprinkle them liberally with fresh cracked black pepper. Sometimes I’ll add a little oregano, but usually the pepper is all I want. (My former preferred method of eating tomatoes, back before I had any sense, was sliced on a bologna sandwich made from good old Wonder Bread with a dollop of Duke’s Mayo. It’s a summer in the south thing, but I had to give it up for health.)
