It doesn't have to be thickly coated, just every bit of the surface area.<BR/><BR/>That keeps the tomato from soaking into the bread.<BR/><BR/>Of course, you will want to peel your tomatoes the night before and drain them overnight on paper towels in the refrigerator.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455517419708043340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-78963080090240404912007-08-01T18:37:00.000-05:002007-08-01T18:37:00.000-05:00My husband's family uses the ratio in Susan Mason'...My husband's family uses the ratio in Susan Mason's Silver Service cookbook (excellent book, BTW)--2 Tbsp. Lawry's seasoned salt to 2 cups Hellman's mayonnaise.<BR/><BR/>I think it's a bit too salty (plus I never make that many sandwiches at a time). I add about 1 heaping tsp. of Lawry's to one cup Hellman's. It gives the sandwich that zip that salt and pepper alone lack.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455517419708043340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-9566024812125908482007-08-01T18:18:00.000-05:002007-08-01T18:18:00.000-05:00Coming out of lurking here...and have a possibly s...Coming out of lurking here...and have a possibly silly question. You said 'seasoned mayonnaise' in reference to your tomatoe sandies...what is seasoned mayonnaise? What seasoning do you use?? Don't let me forget to say how much I have enjoyed your blog. I was extremely interested in the Live Well on Less series.

I was wondering if you could share some ideas for kid friendly meals.<BR/>I have been in the child day care business since 1989. I am so tired of the meals I have offered the children. I really would like to do something different. I am part of the federally funded school lunch program, so the meals must follow the USDA good guide lines. I hope you can offer a few ideas. My kids in care are not too picky. Today's lunch was milk, broccoli with cheese, French fries, fish planks, (not fish sticks, but the wedges) and bread. I also gave the children jello with pears. <BR/>Thanks for your thoughts.
