How do you do, Miss Lainie! It's been awhile, but sure am glad to give you a big ol' howdie-doo! Have you been doing well? Your selections look fabulous, and I can hardly wait to hear the results!

You're to funny, Mia

Bethie, let us know how it goes.....I love, love, tomato pie!

I'm feeling awkward because i don't have rave reviews. It was ok. I'm glad I made it because it's been nagging at me for awhile now! It will get made again, tho. Tomato Pie

xoxo Bethie

Oh dear, I'm sorry - I did not mention that I fried the onions before putting on the pie. I thought it was just me being picky - I loath raw or cooked onions, can't eat them if they're not either fried or marinated and drowned in vinegar. So I caramelized them because I've made that experience in another pie before.

Another thing~ You shouldn't use tomatos that are too juicy, or drain them a bit first to prevent a soggy crust. I never pre- bake the pie shell, and I've never had a problem!

Ah - my tomatoes weren't juicy at all, but I pre-baked the crust 10 minutes.

Yes, I think you have to with gluten free crusts. At least the one time I made a gluten free crust the directions said that!

It is killing me that this is happening now! I am positively drooling over all there delicious recipes, when there are no good fresh tomatoes around! My cookbook is getting full, though!

[Mia in Germany]

I'm with you. Tomatoes here are from Dutch greenhouses or Spanish poison fields right now, except for some organic greenhouse grown tomatoes.

[pammyowl]

Our stuff gets trucked in from southern states, or California. We live in a northern state, so in order to get it here before spoiling, it is picked pretty green. By the time it gets here, it can be good, or it can be orange. I don't usually buy it in the winter. Once in awhile, you'll find some really good ones, but who can afford to go on a shopping spree allover the state in search of a good, fresh, tomato?

[Mia in Germany]

At least one advantage of Germany being small compared to the US. Crossing the whole country is not such a big thing. Also transportation from the Netherlands is quick, too, because we're right there. The Dutch greenhouse stuff is not that bad, and they're even all red when we get them. But of course they're not as flavourful as those which have seen the sun. I buy them when I feel overwhelmed by fresh tomato cravings
