Tomato Plate Trick...

 Morning!  Yes, yes, I know...it's been a while hasn't it?!  Oh well, I've been letting life take over a bit.  We were sick then had Libby the Pug spayed and I guess I just got lazy about blogging.  But!  I learned a neat trick while I was "living the Life"....How to cut a bunch of cherry tomatoes all at once!
See the bottom ring of the dinner plate?  Put the tomatoes on the bottom, inside the ring.  Now, get another plate, bottom side down on top of the tomatoes.  Use a serrated, long, bread knife for slicing.  Apply pressure using your hand on the top plate and holding that position...slice between the plates and walahhh!!!  No muss, no fuss!  Done....I still need to figure out a neat trick for cutting bell peppers.  Oh well, one trick a day is enough.

I think we're over all the flu garbage.  It's been cloudy and rainy here lately.  The Sun finally came out yesterday.  It will be 80 degrees here today...nice!
So, going for another coffee and will be visiting you soon!

Pretty nifty trick. I have tomatoes and peppers growing in my basement. It will be a while before I plant them outside.I make a sauce from the cherry tomatoes that in Italy is called pacino. It is my favorite, bright sauce to use. I catch so many trout I could use some help eating them.

That is a really useful trick. Do you realise how many hours of tomato slicing around the world will be saved?
