I, too, am a tomato freak. And I know it will sound silly to some, but the earth makes a big difference. We've lived a lot of places, and I've always tried to grow tomatoes. But, as my husband says, other places have dirt, the Midwest has earth and soil. And the tomatoes reflect that. But then, the season is so short. But I can't wait for July and our first Early Girls! To me there are a few favorite tomato meals:
Plain old BLTs
Tomato, mozzerella and basil salad. Don't know why? Seriously, anywhere I've lived tomatoes and basil never are at peak at the same time. The basil dies before the tomatoes ripen, so I wind up buying it at the grocery store.
Tomatoes chopped and tossed with olive oil and angel hair and whatever herbs are in season.
A favorite for me is bread, cheese and sliced tomato under the broiler.
A favorite when I was little and lived in Germany, was a simple tomato, white bread, and miracle whip sandwich.
