Almost Heaven, Part II

I’m back from West Virginia, and I’m regretting with every fiber of my being leaving behind this beautiful slicing tomato I bought there. I would eat it, right now, like an apple. This amazing tomato was from Gritt’s Hydroponics, a greenhouse in Putnam County, West Virginia. I looked to see if they had a website, because I fancied having them overnight some of their magical tomatoes to me. They don’t have a website. Of course, that won’t stop me from calling them on Tuesday and asking them how I can either a) procure their fantastic tomatoes all the time or b) grow these wonderful tomatoes at my own home.

Here is a photo of the wonderful tomato, which will not even be enjoyed by my aunt and uncle, at whose house I left:
It’s brother, who I ate with relish (not actually relish, but I ate it with great enjoyment) was consumed in the span of a few minutes. I cut it into slices with this knife:
And it was so red and beautiful on the inside:
I’m so sad I can’t eat the one I left behind right now. I’m going to go to Tom Leonard and see if they have anything that even compares…

Healthy Food

OK, I know I just said this wasn’t going to be a diet blog, but I’ve been searching for healthy recipies and just remembered one I already know how to make. I posted a recipie for a breakfast casserole some time ago but I can’t find it. Anyway, here is the healthy version:

Ingredients:
Egg Whites
Fat Free Cheese
Whole Grain Bread
Skim Milk
Pam cooking spray or similar
Turkey Bacon
99 % Fat Free Ham
Mrs. Dash or Spike
Cracked Black Pepper

Spray a casserole dish with the cooking spray. Rip up the bread (maybe two slices or so) and coat the bottom of the dish with it. Kind of mush it down a little. Whisk together the egg whites (about 7 or 8), the skim milk (about a fourth of a cup), the turkey bacon (chopped up), the ham (chopped up as well), the fat free cheese, and season it with some Mrs. Dash or Spike and some cracked black pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the bread. Refrigerate overnight to let the flavors mingle. Pop it in the oven at 350 degrees for about a hour. Serve with hot sauce or ketchup, if you want to.
