Need to use up the tomatoes fast, like next 2 days.
I had thought there was a recipee for these ingredients here, and I don't have portabella mushrooms nor do I have any pocket money to buy any before the tomatoes go bad.
Any ideas folks?

Search "Napoli recipes" or "Naples recipes", mostly all foods in South Italy consists of exactly those ingredients. The best pizza i ever had on napoli streets was one mozzarella plus ham and one mozzarella plus tomato. All. Full stop. Do you have flour? Then make pizza bottom from flour and water, never mind if you do not get is so perfect, then put mozzarella and tomatoes, bake, garnish with the rest
or classical Capri salad: cut everything and mix in bowl with some oil, or if are snob then layer them in some geometrical order on a plate and sprinkle w oil.
But they make tens of foods there basically consisting of tomatoes and mozzarella, possibly also eggplant, in Italy.

Make a salid with tomatoes, fresh basil, mozzarella... drizzle with olive oil and salt a pepper. mmmmm
....You can make salsa from the tomatoes. I make a roasted salsa that is really good.

Panzanella
- 6 oz (200 g) stale country bread, cut in thick dice - 10 small and nicely ripe/juicy tomatoes, or 6 medium, or 4 large, cut in wedges - half a large cucumber, thinly sliced - 2 small sweet red onions (the original recipe calls for cipolliti rossi - dolci), thinly sliced - a small bunch of fresh basil (about 15 stems) - 2 Tbsp olive oil - 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar - salt, freshly-ground pepper
(Serves 4.)
Place the bread in a large salad bowl, add the tomatoes, and stir to combine. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes, as the bread absorbs the juices from the tomatoes and softens.
Pluck the basil leaves and tear them into bits. Add the cucumbers, onions, and basil to the bowl, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Toss gently to mix, preferably with your hands.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. At the last minute, add in the vinegar, taste and adjust the seasoning.

D_Oro I'll go with your recipe. I am trying to avoid processed grains right now.
My mom and a good friend will be south-beaching later on and I am trying to experiment with avoiding certain foods.

That's the Capri salad she/he suggested
Panzanella is my new find from here - perfect for those long coptic fasting periods when you simply cry for some difference.

Oh good, I had tomato plants in my garden so we ate this often, it was wonderful. I had so much fun I am planing a bigger garden for next year.
Another way that I have served it is to slice the tomato and add one layer of each the cheese and basil. It looks nice but to me it is a bit more difficult both to make and eat. The basil doesn't cut easily with a fork.

I am growing beef steak and heirloom tomatoes.
Any fruit gets within 16 inches of the ground the furkcing rabbits nibble at it.
Makes me crazy!

You got it easy with cute rabbits, and coyote urine should do the trick. Here it's damn lizards, and I'm not talking about geckos like in Egypt. Can't even leave the bedroom balcony window open at night. Caught two already in my bedroom.

buying coyote pee is difficult what would also make the display of coyote piss a bad choice is how it would inspire aggression in dogs.
Particularly my mothers dog (the plants are at mommy's house) and the errant dog a few houses down would probably tear the **** out of each other.

You can order via Amazon. But you're probably right about the dogs running amok. Here's a review that may or may not give you a chuckle.
“I am not sure why this product is advertised as a "lure", since it is obviously meant to repel deer and other creatures wary of coyotes. I myself do not have deer problems, living in a Manhattan condo, but I do have a rather willful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Sir Winston who aggravates me to no end with his aggressive behavior, incessant barking, and refusal to obey my commands. Quite simply, I just don't get no respect from him. I have tried discipline, bribery, psychotherapy, and even physical restraints, but nothing works. After Sir Winston chewed up and peed on my $1200 Amedeo Testoni loafers, I knew I had to get serious.
The coyote urine smelled no different from the hundreds of other urine I have smelled. Perhaps I was expecting something gamier or muskier than your average urine. For a moment I was afraid that someone might have simply urinated into the container, trying to pass it off as coyote urine. Brushing my doubts aside, I went to the bathroom, removed my shirt, and then liberally applied the coyote urine to my body--under my chin, on my torso, rubbing it into my arms--until I fairly reeked of the pungent odor. I stepped out of the bathroom and called to Sir Winston. Not surprisingly, nothing happened. I went to search for him and found him in the kitchen, peeing on my Cuisinart. The moment I came in, however, his body seemed to tense, and he turned around quickly, whimpered, scrambled off the counter and ran to the living room to hide under the sofa. I followed him to the sofa, got down on my hands and knees, and called to Sir Winston. He responded with a high-pitched whine. You can imagine how powerful and in-charge I felt.
"Sir Winston!" I yelled, "Come out now and face your master!" Sir Winston crawled out, crouching low, and looked up at me with humility and fear. "I am top dog now, and you will obey me!" Sir Winston actually seemed to nod his head--quite a change from his usual response of biting my ankle. "Go now to your room and repent your past disobedience!" I yelled, and then, for good measure, I flexed my chest and arms and growled, "ARRRRGGGHHH!!!" Sir Winston bolted to his room as if the very Devil himself were chasing him.
My success with Sir Winston has led to my wearing coyote urine all the time and growling whenever anyone crosses me. The other junior partners at the firm where I work have developed a new respect for me, and even the senior partners have begun to give me a wide berth. I am now experimenting with other predator urine, including wolf and bear, but coyote remains my favorite”.

I knew that would crack you up. Your mom on the other hand, lacks a sense of humor.
