"The Unserved Guests": Tomato memories

That's it folks!

I would like to thank each one of you for making this event a grand success. It would have been impossible without your enthusiasm and efforts. Thank you!

Shop for more greens during the coming weeks, because Jihva is going green with leafy vegetables next month! Check it out at Mahanandi.

Updates: 04/09/2007: Asha of Foodie's Hope has kindly contributed two more recipes to make it a 100! Thank you Asha.

04/10/2007: Menu Today's missing entry added. Now we have 101! :)

Hmmm...I somehow missed Foodlovers' big tomato celebration which makes it 106!! Sorry about that, foodlovers.

Dear Asha, please let those two in. I was checking my mailbox everyday for that two more entries. :)

Reena said...

RP, First word is PHEW!!!!!:)):)) I can't believe that there are 98 entries here. Hugs to you for doing this tedious job wonderfully for us. Beautifully presented!!

Yes Asha, send those two. We couldn't make a century in Cricket WC but your two entries would make our Tomato blogging a cool 100:):)

Sumitha said...

RP you have done the round up beautifully and neatly also so quick!I didnt have anything nice with tomatoes,I was in half mind whether to send my butter chcken in which I have used tomato puree,but it wasnt a major ingredient in it so held it back:(

RP said...

sumitha, 1 cup of tomato puree. I am taking it. :) Just found out from mishmash that I have entered one recipe twice under soup/rasam category, and I have to delete one. So your butter chicken is most welcome. You do not need to mail be. I will come and get it. Thanks.

Sandeepa said...

Thanks RP for doing the tough job

Asha said...

Sig said...

WOW! RP, Superb job, 100 dishes, and you did it so quick... I think this is enough to publish a book on Tomatoes :)

Great job!Just noticed that in
the last couple of lines where you have thanked everybody.. it should read" grand success" and not " grant success". You might want to correct that .
