[Magdalen] The worthless tomato.

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Oh! Forgot secret ingredient!!! Crushed dried basil on tomato slice before anything else - gently over whole surface but minimally. 

Another yum in my book - pealed fresh garden tomatoes peeled and cut in 6 -8 wedges each. Dress with cider vinegar sweetened with scant sugar 'to taste' - should still be mostly sour.  

And then there's always a slice of tomato, a slice of homemade mozzarella and a fresh basil leaf on top. With or without a scant drizzle of balsamic vinegar. (Mozzarella that comes in a ball packed in liquid). 

Lynn, drooling as garden tomato season is long gone here in the big TX

my favorite recipe with  honest to goodness home grown tomatoes is:

Large tomato sliced in 1/3" slices

sprinkle some grated parmesan on top, and a dot of butter (1/4 of a pat=a 
dot)

bake in 400 degree pre-heated oven until tomatoes sizzle and butter melts 
into the cheese, maybe 10 minutes total.

Heaven.... one step below eating them fresh out of hand
