Thanks for playing, and have a leafy weekend!

Ok, my favorite tomato thing is a fresh tomato sauce you make thusly: sauté fresh tomato slices ( a half dozen Romas) in olive oil, along with some sliced garlic- set aside to cool a bit.  Then when you empty the water from the pasta you have just cooked, save a half cup or so, and put what ever seems like enough into the the fry pan with the garlic, oil, and tomatoes. Cook it for a little bit to thicken it up, and then put the pasta into the pan, stir around a bit and then put it onto your plates. Yum! I saw that on an Italian cooking show in the way back.

My favorite celery thing is something I can't eat anymore. stuffed celery ribs. I've yet to find anything to replace either the cream cheese or the peanut butter I can no longer eat. Maybe cheddar with a little red wine to soften it? Hmmm?

Favorite broccoli thing is that salad made with broccoli, bacon and dried cranberries. Love it!

Favorite egg plant thing is battered and fried. We had that all the time when I was a kid, and sometimes when I was the cook and Mom. It's almost better than fried green tomatoes which we had all the time, too.

Favorite spinach things, hands down is a Spinach and Mozzarella Pasty. Oh yum!
