Last night we presented a ‘lecture series’ on an assigned topic for a show I’m working on. One of the ensemble members did an entire lecture on tomatoes. When asked why she chose this topic she claimed that she just really loves tomatoes–especially tomato sandwiches. “You know, the kind with really good bread, a ton of mayo, a really ripe tomato and some salt?” Omigod. I was suddenly transported to some far, far, time when my father handed me that exact sandwich. I became obsessed with recreating that memory and today I made a tomato sandwich for dinner. The tomato was a little mushy and the bread fell victim to the mush, but other then that it was FANTASTIC! If you love fresh tomatoes (and they’re in abundance right now at your local farmer’s market) now is the time to go and make yourself a tomato and mayo sandwich!
