When I make an omelet with tomatoes in it - I dice the tomatoes very small. I just eye ball it - but I saute onion and celery, add tomatoes, stir and then pour my beaten eggs over. You only need a tablespoon or so of each item for 2 - 3 large eggs.

My mom liked to dice up tomatoes and put it in with her baked macaronie and cheese. She used a sharp cheese. Other times she just topped the dish with ketchup for the tomato taste. I couldn't get into that.

Can Man now you're talking!!! And malt vinegar is a staple in our house, as well as Basalmic Vinegar (for sandwiches of-course) and alot of other flavorful vinegars. I can tell you my 8 yr. old loves bread dipped in basalmic vinegar best of all, takes after me..that's for sure! Have you ever tried the french bread dipped in olive iol, basalmic vinegar and dipping spices? It is delicious!
What part of S. CA are you in? I did 2 yrs. in Long Beach, and 2 in Monterey! Gotta tell you I loved Monterey and the Pebble Beach area, and I worked in Carmel the whole 2 yrs we lived there, our lunch hour was 2 hrs and I just gotta tell you I visited every restaurant in Carmel on a regular basis....WONDERFUL WONDERFUL EATING with-out a doubt!
Cheers, Cathy

Not for a long while, since I cut back on eating breads, but I agree. These years I just drink vinegar (in water) which I prefer over sodas.

Hi Can Man,
Funny you should mention drinking vinegar in water, my grandmother used to make up some drinkable concotion that was a vinegar drink. She was really healthy and lived to be nearly 100. So I encourage you to continue your regime.
I liked parts of Long Beach, and especially loved the tide pools in San Pedro, and the next thing I most loved were the Asian Restaurants in LB! And Redondo Beach and the horse racing track out in Anaheim (Do not remember the name of it) and I just did not care for the over population!
California is beautiful but my goodness it's so heavily populated, that was one of the real down falls of the whole experience.
There is one place I visited that had fresh grown cherries and oh my goodness were they delicious! But try as I might I can't remember the name of the town, seems it was not too far from Los Gatos. There were artichoke fields and garlic fields and lots of agriculture in Salinas.
Nice talking 'bout the old stomping grounds! Cathy

CanMan, ketchup is no joke. I've tried it on Mac 'n Cheese and have always put it on scrambled eggs. I am all over the basalmic vinegar for salads and a pork chop recipe my family makes(ask me if you guys want it). As for the french fries, after being in Europe for a month and got hooked on the mayo believe it or not.
