  2. Ha! Too fun :-)

    I love tomatoes - I'm the only one in my family that does. I especially like them straight off the vine, thick-sliced and sprinkled with sea salt. Yum!

  3. I discovered a can of diced tomatoes seasoned with some yummy stuff like garlic, basil, and something else. When I opened the can it smelled so yummy I immediately wanted to add it to some dishes later that week.
    But unfortunately right after I put some as a garnish on my little girls plate and as I was about to place some on my own I dropped that entire can on my foot and floor! I was so mad at myself.
    (I made sure to pick up 2 more cans today at the store)

  4. I have cherry tumbler tomatoes growing in my back flowerbed on the south wall, they are producing like crazy but everything is still green. Chase can't wait to eat them, he loves picking them off the plant and popping them into his mouth! We picked a green one the other day and he patiently waited three days for it to turn red so he could chow it down.

  5. tomatoes or tomatoes, potatos or potatos... hmmmm quite a bit of difference really!

  6. I have a tomato plant on my back deck and just today I commented to hubby about the lack of RED tomatoes! I wonder if any of them will turn red before the first frost. Ketchup - mmmmmmmm. I like ketchup on LOTS of foods. Hubby disrupted my ketchup habit many years ago so I don't enjoy it in quite the quantities that I used to. DO NOT REFRIGERATE!!! Blech to cold ketchup.

  7. slice a tomato. Season the slices with salt and pepper. Pour a moderate helping of olive oil. Shaved or slice your favourite cheese. Sit down and savour the rich taste.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I love the fabrics!

    Our (retired) neighbors are growing patio tomatoes in pots and we get to water and take care of them when they go on vacation and weekend trips, which is often. The bonus? We get to pick, keep and eat anything that turns red while they are away! Pretty good deal, huh? Water for tomatoes...

    My favorite way to eat garden tomatoes is cut up in chunks with cottage cheese on top - soooo good!

    You can contact me thru my blog, or thru Etsy (blackcatmima) or thru eBay (tobeysqweezr) - thanks for the chance to win!

  9. Hi from Spain. Have you tried Gazpacho, it is a cold tomatoe soup for hot summers.I can send you the recipe. Happy summer!!

    ReplyDelete
  10. We have only one kind of tomatoes in our country - the plain red juicy ones not beef tomatoes! and sometimes just sometimes we have tree tomatoes! But sprinkled with salt, pepper and mozarella is fine for me!

  11. Okay... what can I tell you about tomatoes mmmm. They are red, round,
    delicious and can be used in all kinds of recipes. I grow hanging basket tomatoes which I have to say are really struggling to ripen
    in our UK rubbish weather. There is nothing nicer than picking your own tomatoes and eating them before you get back to the house he he he ....

  12. We don't call it Ketchup here in "down under", just tomato sauce. Counts as a vegetable in my house, only one of my four kids eats them otherwise :-)

  13. Tomatoes... I like them when they are fried in the oven with some cheese and basil... Or as ketchup of course:)

  14. In Catalunya, where I live, toasted bread with squeezed tomato sauce, olive oil and a pinch of salt is the "national" food. Fancy, hah?

  15. count me in! I could do with some summery goodness!

    What I'd like to know is how come tomatoes don't taste like they did when I was small? How come? Someone must know the answer!!!

    ReplyDelete
  16. When I was little my mom used to make ketchup from home grown tomatoes. My dad worked night shift and slept during the day. He said he could small the ketchup all day long in his sleep!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Dad's tomato plants have done really well this year. Up until the last couple of weeks. Then WHAM the blight bit them. We can still get a few tomatoes off them, but they are turning brown fast.


    Homage to The Tomato
    Green tomato,
    on the vine,
    turns to red,
    its summers wine
    On a sandwich
    sliced is great

    Thanks a lot!

  19. I'm a huge fan of summer tomatoes. We have them almost every night. I try to get my fill of them when they're so wonderful! We grew yellow cherry tomatoes this year and they're yummy too!

  24. I've spent the whole summer trying to come up with a salsa recipe for my dad. I tried so many variations and got so close. Then my mom went and bought a McCormick's Salsa seasoning package. All you do is add two tomatoes. He loves it. Disgusting!:)

  25. I like Fried Green Tomatoes! But my dad won't let us pick the green ones. :( But the utilities co. had to do some work on the lines a few weeks ago, and they knocked some off the vines and Mom got those to fry. They were yummy!

    ReplyDelete
  26. The fabrics are great.
    We have several tomato plants and are up to our eyeballs in tomatoes right now. I just made a huge batch of garden salsa yesterday. My family loves the fresh from the garden taste of the salsa (we prefer that to ketchup - sorry ketchup lovers!).

    ReplyDelete
  27. I plant a garden every year and if I could only plant one thing - it would be tomatoes. Nothing beats the taste of homegrown tomatoes!! Mine are finally getting ripe and love just to pick and eat with salt. Yum-yum!!
    Cute fabrics!!

  28. Ketchup. If there is any food I want my daughter to eat, just a dab of ketchup will do the trick. Probably not the best habit, but my daughter is eating lots of food!

  30. the garden is exploding with tomatoes right now, I've made 5 1/2 pints of salsa, 1 large pot of tomato bisque, and I'm waiting for the rest to ripen so I can finish all my canning this season!
    thanks for the fabric opportunity.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I remember my Dad eating tomatoes like apples, now I do it too. Of course tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh mozzarella, vinegar and olive oil.

    Yummy!

  32. Tomatoes, we love them! We eat them sliced, in spaghetti sauce and of course ketchup. When my son was little, he would not eat any veggies. One day we put ketchup on his green beans, and he ate them ALL. So since then it has been a standard fare on the table to have ketchup if we serve green beans!

    ReplyDelete
  33. My first attempt at Virginia gardening (this year!) went something like this: too much clay in the soil + way too much rain = leaf curl + zero tomatoes. I don't know how to garden when there's too MUCH water! I'm in mourning for my tomato plants. I suppose a few fat quarters would help... ; ) Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  34. OOOh, there's nothing like gazpacho (I make mine minus the celery) made using some fresh, homegrown tomatoes!! Or just a fresh slice of tomato with salt...I could go on and on.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Tomatoes are my favorite vegetable. We started growing some this year, but our 4 year old special needs grandaughter pulled them up. I was sad, but my father told me he had plenty and would supply me with tomatoes all season. I have have more than enough. When the Lord shuts a door, he opens a window.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Luscious colors!
    The tomatoes in my garden aren't ripe yet. We haven't had enough hot days in NW Iowa yet. Hopefully, they will ripen OK, because I have a lot of green ones on the vine.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Have you ever eaten tomatoes stewed with zuchini and onions? Add some turkey bacon and celery salt, salt & pepper. Good way to use excess of all of the above and oh, so good. One of those old recipes from my mom and great as a leftover.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Oh, what lovely fabric. I hope I win.
    Regarding tomatoes: I have an 8x8 garden in the back of our house and every year I am being bugged by my husband and my son to put a couple of tomatoe plants in it. And every year I do. However, once the tomatoes are ripe, nobody will eat them, but me. I don't know what it is with them. They just don't feel like eating tomatoes during tomatoe season....

    ReplyDelete
  39. About tomatoes? Hmm, tis the season of caprese!

    ReplyDelete
  40. oh my- slice a fresh one up- real thick now- slap on some mayo, salt and pepper- and stick it between two freshly cooked pieces of homemade wheat bread! And that's lunch or dinner HEAVEN!! :)

  43. Here in Michigan our tomatoes haven't quite rippened yet. I am patiently waiting. I just love eating them like an apple, they are that good. I also like to get some green tomatoes that are just starting to go a bit pink in spots. Slice them. Dip them in seasoned flour. Fry them in EVOO. Oh they are so good. I hope you are enjoying yours.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Ohhh, I hope I am not too late on this! Love those summer tomoatoes... homemade salsa...mmmmmmmm.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Here in New England the blight has struck and the weather has been Unkind to tomatoes. We've had exactly ONE ripe one - which my loving husband gave to me. I ate it right there in the garden, savoring both bites! As Garrison Keilor once said, "There is nothing betting in the world than homegrown tomatoes and you know it's true."

    ReplyDelete
  46. Chili sauce, salsa, toasted tomato sandwhiches...yum...garden's in full bloom in southwestern Ontario too...
    Beautiful fabric

    ReplyDelete
  47. I think ketchup is my 4 year old's 5th food group. LOL. At least it gets him to eat the rest of his food! I just chant to myself quietly...lycopene, lycopene.

    I have a tomato plant here that is so spindly and dwarf, with maybe one shrivelled leaf on it. And yet, it's still producing a few wee tomatoes every so often.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Theres nothing like a yummy home grown tomatoe on a BLT, that's my favorite summertime supper. Plus a fresh cob of corn and a Greenriver, Utah watermelon. That's the best! oohsaahsw@aol.com

    ReplyDelete
  49. I am the tomato queen at my work place. I order the tomato plants that we sell. Every year I grow at least 20 in my rented vegetable plot and they are mostly heirlooms, no boring tomatoes here! I grow every color including black and white, yellow and orange, lots of striped beauties too.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I planted over a 100 tomato plant seedlings in my garden, none survived due to an unexpected cold front so I ended up having only about 15 plants that I had to rebuy... i am not sure what i would have done with all those tomatoes anyways...

    ReplyDelete
  51. I was just thinking yesterday about how many tomatos I have in the house... time for homemade spaghetti sauce. Now where is the garlic??

    ReplyDelete
  52. Ghah! Thanks for rubbing it in! Our growing season has been horrible in central Maine this year. The early part of the season was SO rainy! My cucumbers and watermelons rotted right out of the ground before they could start growing. My pepper plants haven't grown and are sporting peppers roughly the size of my big toe. Several tomato plants died before blossoming, and a few more died with tomatoes still growing on them! My cherry tomatoes are looking good, and one or two other tomato plants seem to be holding their own, but my dreams of endless tomatoes to make into spaghetti sauce have been shattered. *sob sob*
    Thanks for the chance at the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Tomatoes - I do NOT like them plain!!! But, I have over 80 plants growing for sauces and such! I even used to eat BLTs without the tomato... but now I do think a THIN slice of tomato adds a nice flavor. Ketchup, spaghetti sauce, BBQ sauce, all those goodies - LOVE THEM. Tomatoes on their own - YUCK!! Thanks for the chance to win some of Bari's fabric! I love her!

    ReplyDelete
  54. I have made 3 batches of fresh salsa with our tomatoes out of our garden! Although, a fungus is eating them now, so I am praying that the stuff we got to put on them stops the rot... otherwise I will have to make a big batch of this green tomatoe ketchup, and I don't think that looks edible(note the baby poop looking concoction coming out of that squeeze container.

  55. I made a BLT salad with dinner last night just so I could get in my craving for cherry tomotoes - gotta love summer salads :)

    ReplyDelete
  56. I love to make fry sauce by mixing ketchup with mayo. MMMM Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Tomatoes mean Summer!!! Nothing like picking a ripe tomatoe from the vine and having it in a salad or BLT. My tomatoes are so plentiful that giving them to friends and neighbors is not enough. I have set up a table at the end of the driveway with a sign letting all who drive by -- "FREE - Help yourself & enjoy". Seems to be a hit in the neighborhood as I have restocked the table a few times already. Another bonus, I have met new neighbors who have come to the door to thank me and offer to pay something. No charge - they are free and happy they can enjoy them too.

  63. my daughter can always pick out tomatoes if they aren't peeled. She spits them out ALL the time. I can't blame her, I don't like them raw either.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Ever since I was pregnant with my first, my ketchup HAS to be HEINZ. We were on a vacation last week with my husband's family, and I asked a waitress what kind of ketchup they had before ordering.

    It was a perfectly logical question to me because if it wasn't Heinz, there was no way I was ordering fries...but my bro-in-law couldn't believe what he heard and now I will NEVER live it down. The waitress said that it was the first time she'd gotten that question in 13 years of waitressing.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Hooray! It's tomato time!! I love them sun ripened and warm right off the vine. I eat them like candy! Actually the cherry tomatoes are as sweet and yummy as candy to me. Now, don't ask anyone else in my family what they think, they all hate tomatoes unless they ARE transformed into catsup! Sad sad life they have!

    Great fabric by the way!

    ReplyDelete
  66. Ahhh! tomato time at last!! I keep checking for those ripe jewels in my garden and look forward to fresh sun warmed tomatoes to eat right off the vine. O.k. I"m hungry now!! Since I'm the only one in my family that likes them, I get to enjoy eating and canning all I want!! Next year I want to try heirloom tomatoes!! Anyone have any suggestions on what kind?

    ReplyDelete
  67. BLeh! Yucky tomatoes! But my hubby, who is a PA, insists that they are healthy, so I am trying to get a few more in my diet.

  71. Tomatoes....I love to pick them and eat them fresh off the plant. They taste so good. When I was a little girl, we would travel to the eastern side of the state where we would pick boxes and boxes of tomatoes for canning! Fun memories!

  72. I bought one of those cool tomatoe planters where your plants hang and grow upside down. It's really neat!

  75. Full Bloom is luscious! That is a word I rarely use but it fits. Ok...tomatoes. My husband loves tomatoes. He has a huge garden with many, many tomato plants. He slices up tomatoes and arranges them on a plate. He seasons them with so much stuff they are green, not red. He eats them every night. He has wayyyyy too many tomatoes out there but does not share with friends or neighbors. They are his tomatoes and he eats them all. He will make tomato relish, tomato soup, spaghetti sauce, canned tomatoes and another favorite, tomatoes, onions and cucumbers. He is tomato obsessed. I can take them or leave them so it works out just fine around here. I patiently wait for the end of tomatoes and the mess they make in my kitchen.

    ReplyDelete
  76. So you wanna know about tomatoes, huh?! OK well this year instead of planting tomatoes in the backyard like usual, I put them in the garden that is right along the front of my house. Yep, they are right there amongst the lavender and sunflowers and rhododendrons. I figured the kids could just grab them as they play and have a sweet taste (I just do cherry and grape tomatoes). So far, it's working out wonderfully!

    ReplyDelete
  77. My tomatoes are just starting to ripen! Maybe I'll get my act together this year and try canning...

  81. Hmmm... tomatoes? I will share a not so secret with you. I have never really liked tomatoes. Oh I'll eat them in salsa or as a sauce but plain- no thanks. I used to watch my sister and grandpa take a slice, dust it in salt and pepper and eat it that way. It always looked so delicious and then I would try it and die. I am getting better though- I'll tolerate a slice on my hamburger. Thanks for the giveaway.

  85. Hmm...Tomatoes. I gotta say, I'm not a fan of raw tomatoes. I wish I was because they look yummy. I love every product they are in otherwise, especially, umm...Bloody Mary Mix. So I guess in the end, yes I like tomoates. Thanks for the great giveawy.

  88. I made homemade Minestrone soup he night before last and as we were eating dinner I looked up and 3 of my 4 kids taking the tomatoes out of their soup and placing them around their bowls where they thought I couldn't see them. My favorite is Fried Green Tomatoes thou and of course they can't stand them.

  93. My story about tomatoes is that this year the weather has been so gosh darn mild (perfect for being outside and keeping the mosquitos at bay) that I only just got my first red tomato from the garden! It's August!! We had some warm weather over the weekend and finally one turned red! I ate half of it sliced up all by itself and the rest of it on sandwiches. Delish!

  100. Years ago I remember some standup comic saying he didn't eat tomatoes, referring to them as "fruit in the larval stage." And all I could think was, "uh, ok, more for me". Nothing beats a tomato still warm from the plant with a bit of salt and pepper. thanks for the chance, k

  101. Three years ago a tomato plant just sprouted in our garden all on it's own. My friends daughter calls it "The bird Poop Plant." My friend thinks that is how the tomato seed got in our garden. This plant sprouts every year and we get the most delicious heirloom tomato's and every year we get to eat fried green tomato's.

  102. Hmmmm...tomatoes- i just had my first try at canning tomatoes! I boiled and peeled a TON and got 2 and half quarts out of them...disappointing : ( But this fabric would help with disappointment !

  103. I have never seen the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes". For some reason every time I try I can only picture Kathy Bates in "Misery" and I just can't make the leap. I guess I am weird!
