More of my daughter's recipes that use tomatoes:

Tomato Bruschetta
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
6-8 basil leaves, slivered, plus a few more for a garnish
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
? teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
? teaspoon garlic salt (or to taste)
? teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
1 baguette, sliced thinly on the diagonal

Combine all ingredients except the last. Put olive oil on bread and broil until brown; repeat for other side. Serve tomato mixture over the bread, garnished with basil.

Salsa
2-3 tomatoes (preferably 2 large red and 1 yellow), chopped
2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
? teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
1-2 limes, juiced
1 small onion, chopped
? bunch cilantro
1 fresh jalapeno, seeds removed, minced
20 slices of jalapenos (from a jar)
1/3 cup jalapeno juice (from the jar)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon cumin

Combine all of the above and serve with tortilla chips. Serves 6-8.

Are you guys thinking that by posting different Italiano recipes using tomatoes you are going on tangents? Are you guys smoking meth?

You say tomAto, I say tomAHto....I am so excited about these recipes! I have had dinner burnout for awhile so these should help. Of course if the rest of the tree hits the rest of the tomato garden, I may be out of business.

And yes those gas prices are unreal...making my kid take the bus to school- HORRORS! Of course if I could put together a trip to the beach for next week, I'm sure i would beg, borrow, and steal for the gas to get there.

And someone was talking about Delta the other day- I just bought 4 tickets, nonstop Louisville-Orlando for $541. Don't think I could drive there for that, huh? Makes me want to keep ticket shopping.

Here's a new one,

Anyone here ever been to Tahiti? I've been staring at some pictures from Bora Bora. That place looks nice.

Yeah, it does look awesome, and it really looks awesome next to Orlando!

(No offense to anyone living in Orlando- I love the downtown and northern sections of the city).

The sooner the flight on Delta, the better your chances of actually flying.

Sigh, I know. Actually I have been dragging my feet in making these plans, but since we have to go in October, I needed to get moving. We don't have a vast array of choices out of Louisville either, especially non-stop! My worries over whether or not Delta will still be flying is nothing campared to the Delta employees stress.

I cannot believe that there are actually four posts in row on the same topic, in this thread to boot!

You're right! We're staying on topic (the opposite of being on a tangent) on the tangent thread.

Let's see,
cotangent(tangent(a focused thread))=a focused thread? :laughing1

Went to Bora Bora about 5 years ago - I have a picture I took there hanging in my office - it is every bit as beautiful as the pictures look!!!! Next time I am renting one of those huts over the water.


Ahhh!!!!!

Ahhh!!!!!

The only problem I see is the amount of time it takes to get there. That would be half my vacation time!!!
