Dick, that is sacrilege! Our annual welcome to summer ceremony is held every year when my daughter comes down from college (she works there year round) when the first good tomatoes have come out of the garden, enough so we can make the first BLT of the year. I use freshly homemade bread and it is an Occasion. (My son is usually there also, but he doesn't like BLTs, so he just eats the bacon.)

We save our canned homegrown tomatoes for other things.
