Please don't let this thread degenerate into a miracle whip vs mayonnaise thread.

Mayonnaise.

Nothing like a tomato sandwich with salt, pepper and Hellmans/Best Foods mayo.

Toasted tomato,bacon and cheese. Tomato butter is a recipe I was recently told about and it is to die for. 2 pounds of tomatoes skinned, 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 medium yellow onion cut in half. Simmer until reduced to a nice sauce thickness and salt to taste. Put it on pasta, pork, chicken or what ever you like. A super easy recipe and delicious.

Salt OR sugar!

Turbinado sugar, to be precise.

Or on a BLT.

Or diced with cilantro and onions.....

Or.....

If I am going to put some slices of tomato between two slices of bread, with mayo/salad dressing/MW/Walmart Brand/What Ever, I want some thick sliced bacon and some green lettuce in there with those tomatoes.

In fact, white bread with the white stuff (from the list above) on both slices of bread, a small amount of lettuce, a nice amount of thick sliced peppered bacon somewhere between chewy and crispy, and nice thick slice of tomato!

I just ordered some heirloom seeds last night. Since I live in Florida, I still have time to plant them this year :licking:

Halfway decent lubricant if you run out of KY Jelly.

We don't need anything with the tomatoes we're growing this year. It's a perfect balance between tartness & sweetness and the juice is incredible.

We planted 6 starts, but 9 more volunteers came up from last year and have absolutely exploded with growth.

Averaging 2-3 pounds a day, and the cherries haven't even come on yet.

I hate Miracle Whip - reminds me of goat barf.

Try coconut oil and you'll never buy KY again. For anything.


Fantastic on burns, too. Much better than aloe vera.

I agree, I have a "mix" I put under each plant as I plant that gives the tomatoes a REALLY good balance, and makes a BIG difference.

My dad started doing it years ago, and I just continued on with what he started...

We're not sure we've hit on a perfect blend yet, but every other year we till in a yard of high-grade aged compost. The best years seem to be on the second year, between applications. Juice and sweetness are very high.

I'm really bummed this year with our tomatoes, or lack thereof. Only 1 so far and my son's girlfriend got to eat it.:confused3:

cat,
if you were closer I'd give you some.

Thanks, I could make a meal out of a couple tomatoes and a fresh cucumber. Slice em all with salt & pepper. :licking::licking:

My tomatoes are growing in pure compost... It's about 2 to 3 foot deep where they are planted...
