Ring the dinner bell, call all the men from the fields, and make sure to bring Bubba up from the corn crib. The Longmeadow Farm it about to chow down on the easiest, most pleasing tomato in the bunch. Wow, as everybody clanks in, the aroma of fresh crab, the lovely camembert cheese, and festive tomato are highlighted in a very smooth taste of goodness. I don't know what else to call it as words fail me. This is last of the lonely tomatoes sitting in the patch, so I gathered 6 as suggested by the author of the recipe. I did also at the suggestion use 6 oz. of camembert and followed with a shot of Old Bay right into the mixture and a shot at the end. The capers, rice, and green onion blend so nicely here, and give this a 5* plus & then some. I was able to get this to the kitchen table in about 10 minutes flat, and believe me, the devour-a-ra-tion of these beauties were completed in much less time. What a great, great way to use those extra tomatoes in the summer. Microwave was perfect for 5 minutes, although my tomato that is in the picture had a partial blow out, it was still as tasty as a piece of bacon bouncing in a frying pan. Thanks twissis for a truly spectacular evening supper! Made for twissis, *Welcome Home* event. Fall 2008

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
