Tomato Sandwiches


"The next morning Mrs. Welsch asked, 
'Wouldn't you like to try a ham sandwich, or egg salad, or peanut butter?'
Her mother looked quizzically at Harriet while the cook stood next to the table looking enraged.
'Tomato,' said Harriet, not even bothering to look up from the book she was reading."

-- Louise Fitzhugh, Harriet the Spy

"Eating tomato sandwiches in the summer 
is the reason I started tomato seeds inside last winter 
and why I've spent weeks nursing along 
my tomato plants in the garden."
