You know you've been blogging for a while when the first thing your son says coming through the door is "I brought you something I thought might be fun for your blog"... And I must say, I agree with him! These are heirloom tomatoes called
Yellow Stuffer and the idea is they grow to look more like a bell pepper than a round tomato, and they have ridges.
When you cut the top off the inside is pretty empty and the seeds all grow in a cluster attached to the top of the tomato like bell peppers do. It has bumps on the bottom to help it sit upright when stuffed.
I wanted to show you the tidy group of seeds which pretty much came out by cutting a couple membranes. They have the nice mild flavor that most yellow tomatoes have. If you like stuffed tomatoes filled with cold salads or baked, you might want to consider planting some of these tomatoes next spring.
Last year on Black Friday I had some fun doing a little cyber Christmas shopping...
Most of it was for me:@)
Was that wrong??? This
Wusthof Tomato Knife caught my eye at Cutlery and More and it was on sale for $20 with free shipping! It's super sharp, 5" long and works very well with tomatoes, I love the serving fork at the end too. I'd call this a fun novelty gift for the foodie person that has everything or is hard to buy for-but loves tomatoes and a good knife!
Have a happy day:@)
