Pax, that's going to be the plan for the next batch. Sounds like an Italian feast. Jessica, that sounds great...sweet and crunchy. I'm hoping to have enough tomatoes to try out lots of things!

Chop it up into nice thick pieces, and then put it in a bowl with some olive oil. Then cut up some fresh mozzarella cheese and add it, finally sprinkle with some fresh basil and garlic salt. Cover the bowl and let it sit for several hours (room temp), and then dig in! Sop up the oil with some good Italian bread. Don’t waste that tomato in a sandwich!!!
