* If you can't pick these from your backyard, let the store-bought

ones sit on your windowsill for a couple of days

 

** Salt-risen bread: This is an old-time Southern delicacy that even

my grandmothers never attempted to make; they reminisced about their

mothers making it. Some bakeries and grocery stores in the South

still carry it, and there would be a serious uprising if they ever

stopped. This is the one food I stock up on when I go to Eat

Tennessee. It was so funny once, going thorough the airline

checkpoint and having five loaves of bread stashed in my suitcase.

 

The secret of this sandwich is that the bread must be sliced as

thinly as possible. If you want, you can buy thinly sliced bread, or

just re-slice a piece or two. This may sound hard, but it's not

really. I'll tell you the easiest way First of all, use a good

serrated bread knife. Also, fresh bread won't work; the best is a few

days old. And lastly, bend down so that you are eye level with what

you are doing. This makes all the difference in the world.

 

Spread each piece of bread generously with mayo, and top with 2 or 3

slices of tomatoes, depending on how big they are. Be sure to salt

the tomatoes now. Top the other piece of bread with mayo too.

NOTES : It's best to make a big plate of these 'cause you just can't

stop eating them. They are perfect for lunch or dinner in the hot,

dog days of August when tomates are coming in.

NOTES : Everyone has their weakness and mine is tomato sandwiches. I

go insane for them.And oh, I am so picky; if I can't have salt-risen

bread sliced in two thin pieces, then it must be Pepperidge Farm

X-Thins Sliced Whole Wheat. Nothing else will do. The mayo must be

just so and the tomatoes sliced and peeled just right or I'll pout.

 

I have always heard that people will come to blows over their

bar-be-que. Well, people are even more opinionated about their tomato

sandwiches. And what to drink with them: plain milk, buttermilk, or

Pepsi with peanuts!

 

The most unusual sandwich ingredient I ever saw came from Southern

Living; they recommend a sink! To be used for those tomato dribbles

running down your arms.

 

Here are a few additions to the Beloved Tomato Sandwich. I would

probably add a few very thin slices of red onion to each of these so

I won't write that on every one.

 

With all these choices, why are sitting there? WHy no go out in the

backyard and pick you a " big old goon'n " right now
