Tomato-Palooza



Saturday, October 16th brought about the Second Annual Tomato-Palooza and good times were had!



This years menu:

*Jalapeno Jelly and cream cheese appetizer
*Bistro Jeanty Tomato Soup (recipe sent to me from the chef with a mini sticky note that says "Enjoy")
*Yummy Bruschetta
*Sweet potato fries
*Dill and cilantro dip
Razzleberry Pie with ice cream




We love this (new)tradition and have look forward to celebrating it again with the Lambert's and Liz all year.

However we have unanimously concluded that we really need to incorporate more tomato foods to the menu. So, for next year we have committed to Fried Green Tomato's and some sort of cherry tomato hors d' oeuvres. BUT...we seem to be stuck on a tomato dessert so if you have any ideas send 'em our way before next October.

That looks so good my mouth is watering right this very second.

Hey Halls! How about making Thunder Cake for dessert? It's a chocolate cake made with tomatoes. I'm sure you could find a recipe online. Or there's a children's book with recipe of the same name. Great tradition!

Tomato Soup Cake! It is a secret Baxter family recipe... and it is AWESOME. (Afton or Steve will totally hook you up and/or make some for you to try. Our definition of "family secret" is, er, flexible.)
