Dwight Drane Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hire a stripper and play a game of washers. Over the nip is 2 points. A leaner on a boobie is 1 point. In all honesty, do what Chef Jim said, but I'd lose the liquid and add some squid and shrimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 What, were they giving tomatoes out in lieu of trophies or ribbons? This is perhaps the most incongruous thread title I have ever seen. It was a swim meet... Tomatos have a very high water contant. Some varities of tomatos have 95% more water contant than a watermelon (according to WikiAnswers)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I like creamy cucumber salad, you can do the same adding with tomatos: Ingredients: 1 large cucumber, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices 1 large tomato, chopped 1 small red onion, thinly sliced 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon vinegar Salt and pepper to taste Leaf lettuce, optional Directions: In a bowl, combine cucumber, tomato and onion. In another bowl, combine the sour cream, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper; mix well. Pour over vegetables and toss to coat. Refrigerate until serving. Serve over lettuce if desired. Yield: 6 servings.

ExiledInIllinois Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Yum! Yum! I know... The veggies are good for you but the sour cream is a heart attack waiting to happen... Well at least that and the salt is "cut" with vinegar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovey1961 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 As JIA said lettuce and bacon should be a part of that recipe. I like to put tomato slices inside a grilled cheese sandwich. (before grilling) well when you are growing up in Niagara Falls and have a large garden, fresh tomato sammys are the best but i do agree bacon and lettuce with fresh tomato and on grilled cheesse is very good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmac17 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Ingredients: 16 oz Elbow Macaroni 1/4 Stick of butter 3-4 Eggs 1 giant box of swim meet tomatoes Cooking Instructions: Boil Elbow Macaroni until soft. Drain as needed. Place Noodles in frying pan with 1/4 stick of butter and cook on low until half/most noodles get a crispy brown outside. Stir throughout cooking time so as not to have the noodles stick to frying pan. Next add the 3-4 eggs and stir so as to scramble them along with the noodles. Dice tomatoes and put into dish. When they are thouroughly scrambled and the noodles nice and crisp it's chow time Serving Suggestions: You can add some garlic salt or pickle juice for extra flavor upon finishing cooking.
