This? Is what Summer is all about to me. Eating a still sun warmed homegrown tomato so perfectly ripe and large, one slice makes a sandwich. Traditionally in my family it had to be made with Duke's mayonnaise, thick good white bread and lots of salt and pepper and eaten standing over the sink as the juices ran down your forearms. These days? I use Natures Own honey wheat bread or my own homemade sourdough. The constant is the Duke's mayonnaise. I use himalayan sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper these days. Here's to Summer y'all. Celebrating the little things in life ?❤️
@journeywithme2 I am with you totally. That picture looks so good! One of my favorite memories that I still saver today goes back to a summer in the Hamptons riding my bike and stopping by a farm stand and buying a perfect home grown tomato. Then climbing back on my bike in the fresh air and eating that sweet fruit as I cycled down the road. Ah, life.
Is it just me? Or is this the biggest mid-life crisis , compensation action ever?!? Jeff Bezos ?!?

Um, yeah. I noticed that.
And the weird thing is that just two nights ago we watched (with my son who was up til recently too young for it) "Austin Powers: The Spy who Shagged Me" with this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju1UwmgkKgI
When I first saw the Blue Origin rocket, all I could think was, “Bezos’ employees must really hate him.” Plus, those closest to him didn’t have the nerve to point out the obvious. Anyhow, this latest billionaire goes to space stunt appears to be a rather spectacular backfire and Bezos is trying to counter all the negative publicity by giving away a few $100 million to Van Jones and Chef Andre. He’s not exactly known for his philanthropy before today. Having worked in public relations, I know damage control when I see it.

My parents had the news on this evening and they were talking about the Bezos stunt. I didn't even see any of the images, and I kept thinking "Let's call this what it is - a phallic vanity project."
Wow!
It gives the phrase "And We Have Lift-Off" a whole new meaning right?
?
Great dirty minds think alike!!
It's his version of a big truck with oversized wheels. Symbolism is larger than life!
Journey,
Go to Oscar Mayer's twitter feed and look at the third meme down from the top. ?
That is hysterical! Love how someone in social media there has a sense of humor!
Thanks!
It appears that Stacy Abram's novels are so popular that she's got a Republican following...but only for her novels.
At this point, her latest novel While Justice Sleeps, a legal thriller, is a number one New York Times bestseller thriller novel. I am wondering how she might use her storytelling powers.
Wow, did you grow that? ?
I can take or leave tomatoes, and a tomato sandwich is definitely not my thing, but my mom loved them, especially warm from the sun, like you said. She would eat them like an apple.
No garden this year, drought-but I do miss the little yellow pear heirloom tomatoes. Those are so good off the vine.
Some female archeologists are starting to discover what we really want to know from the ancients. Not the gold of their kings or the wars of their warriors. Who wants more news about wars and the wealthy? I want to know what the women were cooking. Turns out the ancient diet in one 3000 year old Austrian site was cheese, bread, porridge and animal food. And when the women were weaning their kids, they made adorable tippy cups with animal feet and fed the kids animal milk. (see photo) https://knowablemagazine.org/article/society/2021/what-did-ancient-people-eat
These are incredible tippy cups.
Do they have to be for children? Who wouldn't want one?!?!
@lovendures I think they are child size. For little ancient children hands.
@jeanne-mayell , @lovendures -I wonder what archeologists will think shot glasses are when unearthed hundreds or thousands of years from now. ?
@dannyboy, thanks for the link. I was going to ask myself, but @tgraff66 beat me to it.
I can't stop laughing at those tippy cups. It turns out Bronze Age people weren't the dour survivalists of popular imagination. Thanks for posting!
