ANOTHER Tomato Lunch

We "Tomato Girls" met at Linderhof

for an 

End of Season Luncheon

We "Tomato Girls" are Master Gardeners

who are doing trials on tomatoes

for K State

It's been an interesting year

And I've learned more about tomatoes than I ever thought I would know

And since the tomato harvest (and care)

is winding down,

with some of our harvest

I made lunch . . .

Chilled creamy tomato and basil soup

served in tea cups

A perfect size serving to start our

"Tomato" meal!

The soup was made from

the Mt. Majesty tomato

A lace tablecloth, a damask napkin in a silver ring

Jim's grandmother's cutlery

And the Spode Blue Room

The Spode Blue Room is perfect for an all tomato luncheon!

A centerpiece of yellow carnations and mums in a silver flower holder

(which makes a nice round arrangement but low enough that you can talk across the table)

A crystal pitcher holds the iced tea

Fried Green Tomatoes

(Chef's Choice Orange)

served with tomato jam

(Red Mountain)

A mixed green salad with

a roasted tomato vinaigrette

(Ultra sonic)

And a slice of zucchini cornbread

Everyone got a menu with a botanical tomato

And dessert was a tomato spice cake

(Jet Star)

garnished with red pear tomatoes from my garden

I think it's fun to have three courses and all three courses

are tomato based!

The flavors were different with each course

And it was fun to see how many different recipes in which you can use tomatoes!

It's Thursday and I'm joining Susan at Between Naps On the Porch for Tablescape Thursday.
