roadrunner, your shoematers look wonderful. How come you used little tomatoes for the sandwich, you could have sliced the large one and made 5 or 6 sandwiches!!! I love BLTs but this time of year I make them using cukes instead of lettuce. Donna

lisa we must get her to try the real thing. She's probably been to some restaurant that served her up some horrid stuff and she thinks that's the norm. Well, if she won't eat any then I'll take her share...please!! :-)

Jo, how did you wait until the shoematers rippened? I would think they were all fried up as green 'maters, knowing how you like those so well. LOL

Rutholive....I thought those were the BIG tomatoes....you mean shoe sent me a little tomato plant???? Dawgs!

Louisa and Lisa....I used to cook rice all the time for my DH...not the Minute rice either...the kind that took a while to cook. He said I cooked VERY good rice...Maybe I'll try Mz Lisa's Gumbo....who knows, maybe it just needs that Cajun touch. Bring it on!! (mais....dem Cajun spices can kill de taste of any ole thing....even boudin) LOL Jo
