A couple of you who have been corresponding about tomato seed also asked about recipes. This is one of our favorites:

1 baked 9" pie crust (we're talking regular flour/lard crust) 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese 1 cup mayonaisse 6 cloves garlic 1 cup fresh basil leaves 3 or 4 sliced tomatoes (enough to nearly fill the crust)

After baking the pie crust, spread 1/2 the mozzarella in crust while it's still warm. Slice the tomatoes and drain on paper towels. Put the basil and garlic in blender or food processer and crank 'er up! You may need a little olive oil to have it mix. Mix the mayo, parmesan, and other 1/2 of mozzarella in a bowl - add salt & pepper to taste. Layer the tomatoes in pie crust. Put garlic/basil mixture on top of tomatoes. Spread the cheese/mayo mix on top. Bake at 350 for about 1/2 hour (until it starts to bubble). The top may start to brown, which is fine.
