To-Mah-To, To-May-To.. Just Pass The Mayo

Do you ever find that there are certain foods that can completely transport you to a different place and time? For me that is fresh tomatoes. One bite of a juicy tomato in the summer and I am taken back to some of my favorite summer memories.

One summer during my teenage years, my brother and sisters were away for most of the summer. My mother was working. Most of my days were spent with my Dad. We had a big garden back then. Every morning we would walk through the garden and tend to this or that. We would then pick some tomatoes for lunch.

For me lunch was tomato sandwiches. White bread, mayonnaise, tomatoes with salt and pepper. No lunch meat was needed. I loved (and still do today) just tomato sandwiches.

Now, when I have a tomato sandwiches, I am always reminded of that wonderful summer with my dad.
