BREAKING BAD
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. New Season of Breaking Bad tonight! I just watched all four seasons in the span of about two weeks. My TiVo is so backed up with all my other neglected shows it's not even funny. Well, it is kinda funny - and weird. I love being able to watch the episodes back to back. As soon as one episode ends and there's an exciting cliffhanger, I know that I can go right to the next one immediately. I started out watching Breaking Bad when the series began but then alot of the stations started pulling that crap with oh, we'll put the show on for two weeks and then go on hiatus for three weeks. Keep up, yo. I saw the first season and then there was the writer's strike. At some point I just got annoyed with the constant interruptions in programming and stopped watching. That and the show just gave me a creepy, uneasy feeling. I don't know why. I just read that Bryan Cranston's wife doesn't like to watch the show because it creeps her out too. But through the magic of TiVo (and generosity and wisdom of AMC) I was able to record all four seasons. I gave the show another shot and I'm glad I did. The show is just genius. I can't wait to see what happens in season 5. I just don't know how I'm going to bear having to wait a whole week to see the subsequent episodes.
You Say Tomato I say Tomahto aka The first tomato sandwich of the summer
I just made a Vegan tomato sandwich and the results were scrummy! My favorite part of summer is fresh, delicious tomatoes and if they're from my garden so much the better. They don't even compare to regular store bought tomatoes in my book. For a righteous tomato sandwich you gotta start with fresh white bread. If I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it right. I reach down in the bread bag and pull out the fourth and fifth slices down so that they're extra fresh. Save that first couple of slices for toast. I usually slather the bread with mayo that's gotta be Duke's or Hellman's (light!), add several thinly sliced tomatoes and then the piece de resistance, freshly ground white salt. Slap on the top slice of bread and it's heaven on a plate. This year, because I'm following a vegan diet, I tried it with Vegenaise. Wasn't sure how it would taste and I really didn't want to ruin the experience but I figured if it was awful I could just start over. I have 2 five gallon buckets filled with tomatoes after all. I always thought it was the flavor of the mayonnaise that set it off but the Vegnaise was very good. I couldn't really tell the difference.
The eating of the tomato sandwich can be tricky. The tomato sandwich should be eaten ASAP for best results otherwise the juicy tomatoes will soak the bread and your sandwich will be all wet and gross. I don't think it's the kind of sandwich that you want to to pack for lunch but then I've never tried it. Tomato sandwiches can be a little messy. If you don't bite through the tomato skin completely, the rest of the tomato may follow your bite out of the sandwich. Some advice: Don't wear white. I learned that the hard way. But Yummmm.
