Sweet onion maybe but that seems kind of like cheating...

I'm thinking SWISS cheese for the "S" in your BLAST sandwich.

BLAST = Bacon Lettuce Avocado Sandwich, Toasted

I don't think I could survive without tomatoes and onions. It used to be a real pain in the winter here in Canada because all the tomatoes were horrible no matter how good they looked. A few years ago quite a few growers starting growing them like field tomatoes in their greehouses. Now I can have great tomatoes all year round. Hooray!!!

Why is it so much easier to grow the cherry tomatoes?

I love fresh homegrown tomatoes. I eat them everyday in the summer.

We make tomato soup, spaghetti sauce, or just in salad or sliced on the plate..

That does sound pretty good! I'm hungry I'd love to have one now, with onion rings and a vanilla coke.

Real tomatoes are grown in Ohio and vine ripened, not on a desert floor with irrigation. We have tomatoes hand picked minutes before and offered on the side of the road or in farmers markets everywhere. When I've been to California or Texas and eaten those desert tomatoes, I just want to puke. I'd eat tomato paste too if I had to eat those things that they call tomatoes out west.

Of course, our season is only from about June to October here. After that we are suffering like the rest of the country.

Next time when your in California don't stop your car on the side of the highway, sneak out into a tomato field and steal a tomato to eat meant for a can.

An Ohio tomato? That's a laugh.

Someone at work gave me about 6 fresh tomatoes this morning.

I think I'll make more salsa tonight! My daughter and one of her hungry friends ate a good chunk of the batch I made the other day.
