In France tomatoes seem to have more taste than those bought in grocery stores here. My mother would make “une salade de tomates” as a hors-d’oeuvre very often – but they have to be good. How exciting to have had your dad in charge of such a fun event – and to meet all these famous singers!

(Not very often) I picked tomatoes last May,south of Tampa,there were a "few" perfect ones. Never in the grocery store! There is no comparison when you know what the perfect tomato is:how it slices,the juice and the texture. My in laws had a great garden in Indiana and from that garden, came wonderful tomatoes.I miss that! They grew the black eyed peas also, so I certainly could have prepared your delicious dish that you just shared with us. Hubby comes home next week so I think I will give this a try!Hope you are enjoying your summer!Jannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121472782540485266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209877942576268533.post-18204202761775407632012-08-08T07:37:12.807-04:002012-08-08T07:37:12.807-04:00Loved your story about the legends of Rock and Rol...Loved your story about the legends of Rock and Roll Sam.
