Lemme share this recipe from today's paper (Heartfelt apologies if I'm 
infringing anyone's copyright.  You'll find this in Tuesday's Lexington 
Herald-Leader.)  I made it for dinner tonight with <gasp> store-bought 
tomatoes.  In my own defense, I don't have a dog-free zone yet, and 
they like to sleep on the vines.  So, no home-grown ones until next 
year when the dog-free zone is finished.

ANYway... This was so good, even the 10 year old who HATES tomatoes 
liked it...

Tomato Vidalia pie

1 deep-dish 9-inch pie crust
2 large tomatoes, sliced
1 cup fresh basil, chopped
1 Vidalia onion, diced
1 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 pound bacon, cooked and chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Brown pie crust in a pre-heated 350-degree oven for about 8 minutes. 
Layer sliced tomatoes in browned crust and top with basil and diced 
onions. In a separate bowl, combine Cheddar, mozzarella, mayonnaise and 
bacon. Press cheese mixture over vegetables in pie crust. Bake at 350 
degrees, uncovered, until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let 
cool before serving. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Note from me:  Basil.  Lots of basil.  The more the merrier.  Then add 
a bit more.  Chop it up very finely, and then put a thick layer over 
the onions.  Ooooh.  Yum!  And next time I make it, I'm using feta and 
mozzarella instead of cheddar.

I'm drooling.
