tomatoes?

[hayden23]

i tried making an omelet the other day and it ended up being a tomato with eggs. any idea on how much tomato to use so that it's just right?

[Mama Mangia]

When I make an omelet with tomatoes in it - I dice the tomatoes very small. I just eye ball it - but I saute onion and celery, add tomatoes, stir and then pour my beaten eggs over. You only need a tablespoon or so of each item for 2 - 3 large eggs.

good tip mama

My mom liked to dice up tomatoes and put it in with her baked macaronie and cheese. She used a sharp cheese. Other times she just topped the dish with ketchup for the tomato taste. I couldn't get into that.

Lizgirl I don't blame you I could not get into that either!

Oooohhh, I could and do.

Hi Can man,

You've got to be kidding? No really....ketchup on your mac & cheese? I just wonder about you ketchup lovers sometimes!!!

We still love ya though! CCCathy

Here's my favorite thing to eat ketchup on... French Fries and then only occassionally!

[CanMan]

Hee Hee! If its not ketchup then it would have to be chopped tomatoes and maybe even some ground beef.

As for Fries, I've been converted and now do it the British way....Malt Vinegar. Nice change of pace.

Can Man now you're talking!!! And malt vinegar is a staple in our house, as well as Basalmic Vinegar (for sandwiches of-course) and alot of other flavorful vinegars. I can tell you my 8 yr. old loves bread dipped in basalmic vinegar best of all, takes after me..that's for sure! Have you ever tried the french bread dipped in olive iol, basalmic vinegar and dipping spices? It is delicious!

What part of S. CA are you in? I did 2 yrs. in Long Beach, and 2 in Monterey! Gotta tell you I loved Monterey and the Pebble Beach area, and I worked in Carmel the whole 2 yrs we lived there, our lunch hour was 2 hrs and I just gotta tell you I visited every restaurant in Carmel on a regular basis....WONDERFUL WONDERFUL EATING with-out a doubt!

Cheers, Cathy
