Ok.
What is everyone doing with their lucious tomatoes this summer?
I had slices of local farm fresh juicy ripe ones thick sliced on a croissant/w/miracle whip, and pepper while hovering over the sink….

Last night I made bruschetta (broosketta) on grilled whole grain bread. a really big hit[8D]

This was one of our favorite tomato meals this summer, made from all the smallish heirloom tomato varieties – pasta sauce with fresh basil and lump blue crabmeat. I took this picture right before I tossed the room temperature sauce with hot drained linguini and cubes of brie cheese.

Why folks don’t post more pics on this site of food simply confuses me. OOPS, no runzas 4 moi. (Just kidding roossy). [}:)]

This thread solved my "What’s for breakfast" dilemma.

Blue Cheese Broiled Tomatoes

Ingredients:
4 large tomatoes
1 tsp. sugar
� tsp. dried basil
1/4th tsp. salt
Fresh ground pepper
1 cup soft bread crumbs
2 Tbsp. melted butter
� cup crumbled blue cheese

Directions:
Preheat broiler setting to high. Cut stem ends off tomatoes and cut each tomato into 2 thick slices. Place on broiler pan.

Combine sugar, basil, salt and pepper, and sprinkle a small amount onto each tomato slice. Slip tomatoes under hot broiler and broil for 2 minutes and remove. Add bread crumbs to melted butter and toss lightly with a fork. Add blue cheese and toss again lightly. Spoon atop tomato slices, and broil until crumbs are nicely browned  approximately 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Ahhh… but you do like pizza Michael! Hideaway is the best I’ve ever had. 3 days and I still wasn’t full! And it was free!!!!!! But have you tried the broiled tomato recipes? Im gonna cook some more tonight!

I’m not a games fan. And I don’t play cards. But thanks.

Ah… I’ve had at Gary Gabrels (spelling?) Hideaway Pizza in OK City, It was wonderful! He also invented a great game called Pente. Kinda like chess but without the un necessery complications. He worked at Hiheaway but after he sold Pente to Hasbro for 3 mil he bought it and made it a great chain of pizza restaurants, 6 I think now? A great Pizza joint by the way!!!!!! We all got "all we could eat" pizza for 3 days at the Pente tourney held there there a few years ago. Quite a gentelman Gary is!!!!

Oh, what is a margherita pizza???
Joe

It’s a tomato pie made with tomatoes, cheese and basil — the Italian national colors of red, white and green. It is named for Queen Margherita of Italy. The first one was made by apizza maker Raffaele Esposito in honor of the queen’s visit to naples.

Pizza Margherita is topped with fresh diced tomatoes, fresh basil, and mozzarella (freshly sliced is best). The colors red, green, and white represent the colors of the Italian flag. But that’s coming from a Greman/Dane so you might verify with a real Italian not just someone who likes the food.
