This morning Thomas is already busy busy busy. I heard him get up which of course woke Hudson up so Hudson and I went to see what big brother was up to. I found him in the bathroom and was quickly told to "Go upstairs." Whenever my bathroom services are not needed, I certainly take him up on it :) So we go upstairs (if you haven't been to our home, it's split level with the bedrooms down a few stairs from the main living area) to wait. Several minutes later, Thomas comes upstairs to tell me all he accomplished. It went something like this...
Thomas: Mommy.
Me: You're all done.
Thomas: Yes, Mommy. I went potty. Then I washed my hands, then I washed my face, then I brushed my teeth, and I made a BIIIIIG mess. (I wish I had my video camera to capture his expressions)
Me: Well, let's go clean it up.
Thomas: No, I already cleaned it. Come see.
He shows me the freshly dried floor, and my nice hand towel he used to dry it. Nice. We have a discussion about those towels just being for hands and faces, not floors, and he tells me I need to get some "Little Boy Ground Towels." :)
Now he is making a list of ingredients we need to make tomato pie which he has been requesting ever since our tomato plants started producing. He has already gotten the big bowl out of the cabinet. Matthew, not wanting tomato pie, thinks we can just keep putting him off. I don't think he realizes how persistent this child is.
Thomas: Please let's start tomato pie. (It's 7:30 in the morning.)
Me: We don't have all the ingredients.
Thomas: I know -- We can go on ERRANDS to get them. What kind of store has the ingredients?
Does anyone have a good tomato pie recipe?

Hey Mo! I am not a big tomato pie fan BUT when we go to Edisto Beach in SC..this is a must have from their local farmers market....
Edisto Tomato Pie:
1 nine inch deep dish pie shell, prebaked at 375 degrees for 10 minutes
4 or 5 large fresh tomatoes, peeled, drained of seeds and thickly sliced
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper (you know these are iffy measurements, use your own good sense)
fresh or dried basil, again your taste can guide you, fresh is more, dried is less
garlic powder to taste
3/4 cup good mayonnaise
1 1/4 cups grated cheddar cheese
Layer tomatoes in pie shell, sprinkling each layer with salt, pepper, basil and garlic powder.
Combine the mayonnaise and cheddar, spread over the tomatoes.
Bake at 350 degrees or until golden brown and bubbly. Let cool.
Enjoy and have fun!!!!
Love you-Jill Anne
