You can get single slice wrapped cheese, right? And I don't mean just that slightly cheese-like processed food product called "American cheese" either. There's cream cheese in single serving packets, butter in single serving packets, salt and pepper in single serving packets. Hell, they even have single slice wrapped peanut butter and jelly for the unconscionably lazy over-busy parent.
Practically all of your sandwich needs are met with product available in unit sizes suitable to a sandwich with one notable exception.
Tomatoes.
You see, I like tomatoes. You could even say I love tomatoes. You'd be wrong, we just had that one weekend of wild sex, there was no genuine love involved except in the biblical sense, but you could still say it, this being a free country and all, and me with unmoderated comments.
I wonder how many English teachers I could kill with that last sentence.
Anywho... Nobody else in my family is particularly fond of tomatoes. You might even say they loathe tomatoes. Go ahead and say it - you'd be right this time.
So what is a man to do when he loves him some tomatoes on his tuna fish sandwich but tomato slices are available only in bulk form; that is, as a whole tomato. I don't eat enough sandwiches where I could actually use a whole tomato before the bulk of it went nasty and I am waaay too much of a cheap bastard frugal to just waste food like that.
Wouldn't single wrapped tomato slices be the bees knees? No? How about the gerbil's tits then? Yeah, that is a better expression - sorry about the bee thing.
Just imagine - any time you wanted a sandwich with two slices of tomato you just unwrap your individually wrapped tomato slices (available in Hearty Beefsteak (tm) or Classic Vine Ripe (tm) flavors). No cutting. No tomato guts seeping out. No wasted tomato!
So what are you waiting for? Get out there and start producing my tomato slices. I'm not a terribly sane patient man.
Hmmm... How about single sliced and wrapped lettuce?
I'm going with Braille blogs ... Ima B. Rich!
Yeah i'd like presliced tomatoes, im too lazy to cut my own.
They're already out there.
Damn!
Another dream of endless wealth crushed to ruin.
But at least I can get my tomato slices now.
Those are SUN DRIED!WHy the hell would one put a DRY slice of tomato on a sandwich???My neighbor chews on those things all the time,looks like peperonie and stinks like rotten tomato!Thats just nasty(worse then the ACTUALL tomato!)......or do you have to soak them in water first for 10 minutes??
Don't have time for that....I want (not for me,but to make Jim stop bitch) a slice of REAL tomato,vaccum sealed,ready to eat.
:-)
They lied? The add says soft and moist. I guess I should have realized they wouldn't have described it like that if they were delicious and juicy. Caveat emptor.
Errare Human Est.
You see.....Sun dried but MOIST and Juicy...how the hell does that go together.LOL
They're like raisins. Soak 'em in olive oil for a bit and they go really good on Italian subs.
Yeah but that takes away the whole idea of convinience,not to mention,even if healthy,very greasy.Imagine....so you carry a bottle of olive oil with you at all times to soak the darn tomato.Thats cool for home when you have time and don't want it NOW.
I like the idea of slicing a tomato,vaccum seal the slices individually and then freeze them.Take out,unwrap,defrost for a few seconds....DONE!
Well you could buy one of those vacuum food machines they sell on late night TV, spend one whole day cutting tomatoes and then vacuum a couple slices in each bag, freeze and wahla ...
take them out in the morning and they will thaw by lunch or keep a couple in the fridge at all times.
Thats my point.Especially since we HAVE a vaccuum machine!
Screw buying on TV.We used to live "near" Canada and I bought the same thing they charge you 80 and up here for 19.95 (CANADIAN.....which is what?2 bucks?LOL) at Canadian Tire!Ha......I knew it would come handy one day.BUT.......I ain't touchin' no tomatoes.YUCK!
Jim can do that......
