Oh FUCK I'm having a craving for a tomato sandwich.

[Maddy McCall]

But none of my tomatoes in the garden are ripe, yet. And I have NONE in the fridge.

Just imagine, a juicy, homegrown, ripe, red Better Boy tomato, sliced thick, placed on Bunny bread, slathered with Hellman's, sprinkled with sea salt and black pepper.

Now I have a craving and no way to quiet it. :grr:

1. Are you pregnant or stoned? nt

[Maddy McCall]

4. I'm neither.

I walked in the garden today, and you could just smell the fragrance of the tomato plants, and it started my craving then.

I never had cravings when I was pregnant. Stoned? Nothing better than a 79-cent frozen pizza covered with mustard and pickles. :evilgrin:

2. Why not just go out to McDonald's?

:hide:

[Maddy McCall]

5. Only place open is walmart, and I'm not going to buy...

hydroponic tomatoes with no flavor. :hi:

3. You are causing late night hunger, you evil DUer !!!

[Maddy McCall]

6. But doesn't it sound GOOOOOOD.

:D

[FuzzySlippers]

7. What is Bunny bread? n/t

[Maddy McCall]

9. A southern brand of bread.

Delicious, soft bread. Yummy.

[FuzzySlippers]

15. OK. Thanks.

I thought it was probably a Southern brand. I've never heard of it up here. :hi:

8. I've always heard that you should NEVER refrigerate tomatos.

Keep them out, on the counter, in a basket, but keep them out of the refrigerator.

Just a PSA from the Cheese. (and you really should refrigerate cheese). :)

[Maddy McCall]

10. I leave them on the counter until they fully ripen...

and then they go in the fridge, because nothing is better than cold sliced tomatoes. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

12. okie-dokie.

Sandwich sounds good, and there's a ripe tomato on the counter, but it doesn't belong to me (I'm visiting my parents). Would I be a terrible person if I ate it without asking first?

BTW - on your sandwich, add just a splash of dill. Ummmm.... :)

[Maddy McCall]

16. Dig in.

They can get another tomato tomorrow. :D

[RevCheesehead]

18. Nah, I'd have to be the one to buy it for them.

They're pretty elderly, so getting around is kind of hard.

I decided to raid the fridge, and found a jar of Milwaukee's Best Midget Dill Pickles, and some Vienna Bread. :9

21. This was on Good Eats recently

Apparently when tomatoes are exposed to temperatures under 50 degrees, a n enzyme responsible for flavor shuts off and can't be turned back on again.

11. We used to eat tomato sandwiches with sugar

when I was a kid. People thought we were crazy. It was just another strange thing my mother did.

[Maddy McCall]

13. That sounds gross.

I have to have salt and a ton of pepper on mine.

[6000eliot]

17. We liked them

I haven't had one since I was a kid.

[RevCheesehead]

14. My grandpa used to do that.

We thought he was nuts, but he loved it so...

[Gormy Cuss]

29. Sounds weird but tasty to me

Kids in my neighborhood used to make sugar sandwiches -- white bread with margarine and white sugar. My family didn't do that.

I do appreciate a sliced tomato on white bread with mayo sandwich like the OP.

[KT2000]

19. Make a veggie sandwich

with what you have -
shred some sweet carrots - dice some onions - cucumbers? avacaco?mayonnaise of course!

[unsavedtrash]

20. tomato biscuit

yummy to my tummy

[Ladyhawk]

22. Is there a way to send tomatoes over the Internet? I have some.

And you've made me crave a tomato sandwich...thanks. :D

[Ladyhawk]

23. Yum...I'd never had a "tomato sandwich" before.

Always there were other ingredients involved, but your craving was spot-on. It was a good sandwich: sourdough wheat bread, mayo and very good tomatoes. Mmmmm...yummy.

Am I making your craving worse? Oh, I'm sorry. I'll private message my last tomato to you, 'kay?

[xultar]

25. They are awesome!!!

[Momof1]

24. Just planted mine.... and it's Miracle Whip for me!

I have grown the best darn tomatoes... I can't wait till August!!!

[Dirty Hippie]

26. You're Sig line pic is from the Jesco video!

Easily the most hysterical thing I've ever seen.

[In_The_Wind]

27. Thats my favorite way to eat a tomato.

It only taste right when the tomato is freshly picked :shrug: I guess I'm going shopping for one tomato plant today!

[hyphenate]

28. Oh, man!

I know how you feel! I just LOVE tomato sandwiches. People think I'm weird because I ask for them sometimes, with nothing but tomato and mayo on them. But they're just SO GOOOOOD. :)

[BlondieK143]

30. Oh gross!

I mean, uh, hope you get one soon! :D

[SarahB]

31. I have some in my fridge.

Mmmm....

[GOPisEvil]

32. Damn you, McCall! Now I want a BLT!!!!

:mad:
