Home-Grown Mater Sandwich

Oh My! Is there anything better than a home-grown tomato sandwich? Anyone raised in the south knows the recipe: 1 large, freshly picked, sliced tomato; 2 pieces of Sunbeam white bread slathered w/ Dukes mayo; pepper (I don't add salt) sprinkled heavily.

Lean over the sink and let the juice run down your chin.

I didn't plant any tomatoes this year. I've been getting mine from Ms. Green Jeans.

Thanks Lyd.

I love this song written by one of my favorite songwriters, Guy Clark.

There aint nothin in the world that I like better

Than bacon n lettuce n home grown tomatoes

Up in the mornin, out in the garden

Get you a ripe one, don't pick a hard 'un

Plant 'em in the spring, eat em in the summer

All winter without em is a culinary bummer

I forget all about the sweatin and the diggin

Every time I go out and pick me a big un

Homegrown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes

What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes

Only two things that money can't buy

That's true love and home grown tomatoes

You can go out to eat an that's for sure

But there's nothin a home grown tomatoe won't cure

Put em in a salad, put em in a stew

You can make your own tomato juice

You can eat em with eggs, eat em with gravy

You can eat em with beans, pinto or navy

Put em on the side, put em in the middle

Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle

Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes

What would life be like without home grown tomatoes

Only two things that money can't buy

That's true love and home grown tomatoes

If I was to change this life I lead

You could call me Johnny Tomato Seed

Cause I know what this country needs

Home grown tomatoes in every yard you see

When I die don't bury me

In a box in a cold dark cemetery

Out in the garden would be much better

Cause I could be pushin up a home grown tomatoe

Homegrown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes

What would life be like without home grown tomatoes

Only two things that money can't buy

That's true love and home grown tomatoes
