- We always look forward to the first tomato sandwich of the year. Using a tomato straight from our garden here in the Appalachian Mountains makes it taste extra special!

Matt's such a good sport. Poor man just wanted a sandwich without us all watching. 😂
He really is a sweet guy
Finally you can eat your tomoto . Blessings 🙏💞
Now I'm hungry for a BLT . Great video y'all ❤
Hellman’s ?!?!
A purist ?!?!
Goodnight….what did that Cherokee Purple ever do for Matt to treat it so badly?
That “mater” deserves only the finest mayonnaise…Duke’s mayonnaise 😉😆😉😆

I’m chuckling to myself about how many people are GENUINELY happy for Matt to have his long awaited first tomato sandwich of the year. But I’m one of them. ❤️🍅 simple pleasures in life. Enjoy !
me, too!
I live way up north in Vermont our growing season is short. Just noticed my first bloom on my tomatoes today. Be several more weeks for me. Can’t wait. I stated them from seed.
@@mjperkolator8854 me too, I’m below you in Ma., my garden is way behind theirs! We’ll get there💛
😀
The simple pleasures are gifts for God. Given so that everyone can have a good life.
Is Matt aware he’s just as important for these videos. We love seeing the WHOLE family. It gives us a sense of normalcy during these times. Your family is comforting to us. Even if your just sitting for a popsicle. We value the tranquility and contentment. Bless you all.
Watching Matt make his tomato sandwich made my mouth water. Looked great 👍
I was so happy to see Matt get his first tomato sandwich. It lifted my heart. ❤
He loved it 😀
You know what I truly love about this channel, just the real appreciation and joy you find in simple, everyday pleasures. It's what it's all about really ❤️
Wow, thank you!
@CelebratingAppalachia honestly, it's such a calm and safe space, thank you ♡
I agree
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
Absolutely!!
We had the first yellow crookneck squash from our garden last night for supper. My husband sliced it and shook it up with cornmeal and laid it out on a pan and sprayed coconut on top then baked it. It just melted in our mouths like butter. Nothing better than that first bite of goodness. The Lord bless and keep you all .😋💗💗
I know exactly how Matt feels. I can live off of tomato sandwiches until the garden tomatoes give out. I'm like Matt. I like plenty of black pepper but I only buy Dukes mayonnaise. I only put tomatoes, mayonnaise, salt and pepper on mine. Happy Independence Day to you all!
Thank you Mark!
Mayonnaise is getting so expensive and a lot of it has bioengineered products in it now. Walmart mayonnaise is still $3.18 here, the other brands are all $5.00 or close to it. Read your labels for bioiengineered products.
@@gowest5145 it's so easy to make your own, and if you need to make it last awhile, ferment it.
There was something very satisfying about how much Matt enjoyed that sandwich. Can’t wait till my tomatoes are ready 😊
He just loves them 😀
What a wonderful day, when you can eat that first tomato sandwich!
Matt sure seemed pleased. Have a great 4th of July. God bless you all and God bless America 🇺🇸
Thank you! You too!
I'm glad I stopped by today to celebrate Matt's tomato sandwich! Thanks for sharing your joy with us 😊 Looks like a real treat.
Thanks for coming 😀
I am so glad Matt agreed to share his first tomato sandwich for 2023. He was a happy camper.
Thanks for sharing!
Been waiting for Matt’s first tomato sandwich of 2023. Happy July 4th to you all.❤😂🎉
He was so happy!!
@@CelebratingAppalachia love that he was going to have another. You and the family rock and make my day. Thanks as always.
I love a toasted tomato sandwich
Good stuff! Sometimes, I’ll take a slice of cheese and put on bread and top with a tomato and fresh herbs and broil it, open faced. Makes a good snack.
Thank you for watching 😀
Don't forget a couple thin slices of onion with that mater & chesse when you toast or broil the sandwich. Yum
I love a good tomato sandwich! And I use Hellmann's, tried Dukes but it doesnt taste right. My tomatoes are still a long way off this year 😢
@CelebratingAppalachia thanks for vedio,I love tomatoe sandwiches with mayo, and bologna sometimes, salt and pepper very good lol
The first of the season is always the best. I love the remembrances of Miss Cindy❤ . She will always be with you.
My goodness I love me a mater sandwich! All of mine are still green. I lost patience and ended up making some fried green tomatoes just to hold me over. Also I appreciate Matt drinking the milk with it. I’ve always done that too and folks thought something was wrong with me. Thanks to him I’m not alone.
One of life's greatest pleasures for a person who gardens is enjoying their first cherokee purple tomato (or whatever variety they love) sliced up with mayo, salt and pepper on light bread. Keep savoring those 'mater sammiches Matt! I can eat them like crazy too, ever since I was a little girl. Back then I'd get my salt shaker and eat home grown tomatoes like apples for a snack, sprinkling a little bit of salt on each bite. I'd eat them until the acid broke my face out!
It is so good 😊
I'm totally with Matt! To make a Tomater Sandwich all you need is, Bread, tomater, mayo, salt n pepper! That's a Tomater Sandwich! Happy Independence Day Y'all....🙏🙏❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
And a lot of Carolina Ghost pepper extract to make it real interesting 😂
My husband was always anxious for that first ripe juicy tomato. Sometimes it didn't make it to the house for a sandwich. He has been gone for several.years now but so many good memories.
Love those memories!
Enjoy Matt! You can’t beat a home grown tomato sandwich! Happy 4th of July!🎉🇺🇸
This makes my heart happy for Matt🥰
😀
Tomato sandwich is the summertime right of passage, love them, and that is the biggest tomato I have ever seen. Looks delicious Matt.
Yay! Cheers to the Tomato Sandwich! That looks so good...
Though I'm a California native, my mom was born and raised in North Carolina. She would make tomato sandwiches with mayo, salt and pepper. They were divine! Especially with homegrown tomatoes! Thank you and Happy 4th of July! 💗
I was SO ENVIOUS OF MATT on this one, that tomato looked so good!!! Definitely a Hellmann's household here, despite growing up on "Miracle Whip", both husband and I. Thank you Tipper, thank you Matt! 🍅 ❤🔥
First one and last one are always the most memorable of the year but I like them all on white bread for sure.
Thank you for watching 😀
Agree with y’all. We just don’t eat fresh tomatoes unless it comes from the garden. Happy Independence Day!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The perfect tomato sandwich for a tomato lover. Even Hellmans is a fine choice! Of course we don’t have Dukes here in Canada. You two make me smile. Happy 4th of July! ❤️🇨🇦
Matt, you got me drooling and I know you had a second one 👍
😀
Yay, Matts been waiting a long time for this! Beautiful ❤❤❤
😀
I'm with Matt, isn't much better than a fresh tomatoe sandwich on fresh bread with pepper. One of life's pleasures.
With raising chickens we have taken to making our own mayo. I know it doesnt keep as long as store bought, but its richer and more flavorful.
Cant wait for tomatoes to ripen.
It's great to watch Matt eat that tomato sandwhich.
He just loves them 😀
I grew up eating Miracle Whip on our sandwiches. My parents always grew lots of tomatoes even when they stopped planting a garden.
Today I like Hellmans or Dukes Mayo. Dukes is newer to this area. We live in Glenpool which is part of the Tulsa metro area in Oklahoma.
Tipper, today I made the Cheesy Potatoes from your cookbook. They were so good! ❤
Yay! So glad you liked them 😀
My beloved Daddy and Momma both passed away in 2008 5 weeks apart. Married 63 years. I lost both my siblings also. My brother was 61 and died of lung/brain cancer in 2013. My sister was 57 and died of breast cancer in 2016. But every summer when I eat a homegrown tomato sandwich I can feel their presence. We ate them EVERY single day in the summer growing up and into adulthood. But growing up in Pittsboro, NC...down in Chatham County, we always used Dukes !! That's all Momma ever bought !! ❤❤
Still waiting for our first red tomato of the year. Seeing him make one is making me hungry!!! Enjoy!!!!
I completely agree with Matt, tomato sandwich purist with course ground pepper. Thank you for sharing Tipper!
Thank you for watching!!
Oh lord my mouth was watering....i LOVE tomatoe sandwiches! Sometimes with onion. ❤
Definitely Hellmans & lots of black pepper.
So good 😀
My late husband used to say, "Two things money can't buy, true love and home grown tomatoes." You two have both!
Mama & I ate our first homegrown tomato sandwiches of the summer yesterday. My, my they were good!
I just ate mine! First thing I do every year. 😊 I also grew up eating what my mom called cracker salad. Tomatoes saltine crackers
Mayonnaise and salt and pepper. So good!
Love tomatoe sandwiches. Matt seems to be enjoying his first taste of summer tomatoes. His smile shows off his cute dimples. He has the most beautiful smile. Love you guys. Blessings 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My pediatrician used to say if i drank any more milk, i would have a whole in my stomach
Here I still am, decades removed from my pediatric visits, and next time i have a mater sammich I'm going to wash it down with a glass of cold, whole milk! "If it hurts me, it just does" Matt is incredible!
Oh ya...now I need to go to my sisters home to pick a tomato! Matt, your sandwich looks delicious. I used to have a lovely, big vegetable and flower garden but since I move from that property I now depend on my sister for these wonderful tastes. She grows a lot, enough for everyone. We all take part in the care of the garden. Just yesterday I was visiting them and I came home with a bag full of lettuce. I had to make a lettuce and tomato sandwich of course...white bread, fresh tomato, fresh lettuce, miracle whip, butter, and salt...no pepper for me thank you very much lol! The best beverage to drink with a tomato sandwich is of course a big, tall glass of cold milk. Tipper, I had to laugh when you asked Matt if you should keep talking and put off him taking the first bite of his sandwich! He seriously answered, "no". Anyhow, thanks for sharing this. Blessings x
😀 thank you
I'm so happy! Y'all just made my 4th of July better ❤ Love from Georgia
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Wow, wow, I do love a tomato sandwich with light bread, mayo and salt and pepper, Matt was making my mouth water just watching him kill that sandwich. What a beautiful thing, summer, tomato sandwiches. Take care and God bless. Oh,, I forgot home made Ice Cream. :)
I'm still waiting on mine. I'm beholden to the farmers market. Hopefully this Sunday will the day! I will have mine with some farmers market bacon, lettuce, and some freshly baked bread from home.
I respect Matt's coast-to-coast application of the mayo. Made with care.
Mr. Matt’s summer tomato sandwich dinners are always quietly EPIC. Always a treat to watch, thank you folks 🍃
I loved every bite ..brought back memories 🎉
😀
I'm a Tarheel living in Michigan. I grew up in Newton, and my parents grew up in Rutherford County, so I've spent lots of time in western NC. We always called it "loaf" bread. I like it fresh and soft - especially for pimento cheese sandwiches and banana sandwiches. I'm like Matt - LOVE fresh tomato sandwiches - I rarely eat them any different from Matt except I do like to toast my bread. There's nothing like the flavor of tomatoes mixed with mayonnaise! I've been watching your channel for a few months and enjoy it tremendously!
Thank you 😊
I'm like Matt, that first tomato (warm from the garden ) sandwich is so satisfying! Can't wait!!!
Always fun to watch the two of you. I watch my tomatoes every day to see if one gets red. I have a lot but still green. Finally picked my first zucchini and cucumber!
That is great! I can’t wait for the first cucumber 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia 😀
That was a crazy looking tomato 😂 but that samich looked delicious 😊
😀
Tomato sandwiches are the holy grail of summertime ❤❤😊Matt's love for that sand which is cute❤❤
My ex-wife's grandmother was from Mississippi and I had never had a tomato sandwich until I met her. It just wasn't a thing in East Texas where I grew up. The first time she made me one I was hooked. I love them! My great grandfather came to Texas in the early 1900's from Georgia and brought a lot of the deep south traditional things with him. That's the reason I love watching you and your girls so much. It reminds me of days gone by
Looks delicious! I LOVE Hellman's, but I live in the middle of Duke's country! lol Enjoy!
😀
I like both kinds of mayo but Duke’s is my personal favorite…tomato sandwiches are delicious!!!👍😋
There is nothing like that first fresh tomato sandwich every year! It’s Kraft Mayo in my family.
I am just like Matt when it comes to tomato 🍅 sandwiches!! Glad to be with you both always!! I have not my 1st tomato yet.
Thank you Buz! I hope you get one soon!!
Swap out the mayo for miracle whip or mustard and I'm in heaven. So good! I love just tomatoes too.
Thank you Lisa 😀
That was as close as I got to a tomato sandwich when I was a kid, tomato wedges and a pile of miracle whip to dip in a bowl.
That looks so good!😋
Thank you 😊
The first tomato sandwich of the year ranks up there with the first Vidalia onion sandwich of the year! Yes, YUM!!!!
!
Last year our grandson, 2 at the time, discovered ripe tomatoes in the garden. He ate until he had a rash, burning mouth and backside lol. His mama said he's not getting as many this year!
Welp, I guess summer is well and truly here when Matt makes his first mater sammich! I love 'em too and with Hellman's and light bread! My family never went to the store to get a loaf of white bread, it was always light bread to us! Enjoy while you can Matt!
Absolutely no better sandwich on earth than a tomato sandwich with fresh grown tomatoes. I’m like Matt no tomato sandwich for me with a grocery store tomato. Hope you and your family have a blessed 4th of July 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you 😊
I'm with Matt! Next to heaven is the first tomato sandwich. Much love and blessings to you all.
🌟Matt I must say you certainly made my mouth water as you took every bite! It’s the joys of life like this, that are very rewarding. Especially when its a tomato that you have nurtured right from the seed! 🌟You made my day, personally watching you enjoying every bite! Wish I could have been there to enjoy a Tomato sandwich with you! You make a tomato sandwich just like I do! Happy Days are here again enjoying every bite throughout the summer months. Enjoy what you enjoy Matt! In ending I wish to send my sincere condolences to you and your wonderful family concerning the passing of your Loving Mother! 🙏❤
I'm curious what everyone's favorite mayo is for a tomato sandwich. Mine is JFG, I see you are rocking Hellmann's in your vid.
Duke's or Hellmann's either one
We love Duke's Mayonnaise 💛🖤🍅🍞
Gotta be Hellmanns❤️
Hellmans
Definitely Dukes
That looked yummy Matt!! Im so glad you finally got your mader' sandwich...😊🍅🍅🍅🍅
That's exactly how I love it too! This is the 2nd year I have had the joy of watching Matt eat his tomato sandwich.
I had my first tomato sandwich yesterday. I don't have a garden but my good neighbor does. She brought this gorgeous, huge tomato to me and said it was for a sandwich. White bread, Dukes mayo, salt and course ground black pepper. I drank ice tea with mine. I had to eat it standing over the kitchen sink because the tomato was so juicy--even thought I had let the slices hang out on a paper towel for about five minutes to absorb some of the moisture. Pure delicious delight in my mouth!
I know Matt must have enjoyed it, He has been waiting for that moment!!
I mean this in the best way. He looks like a little kid. Truly enjoying something that he grew up eating. Comfort food.❤❤❤
Good country folks.I love mater sandwiches too but with Dukes!
There is NOTHING in this world as good as that first tomato sandwich of the season!!!
Tomato Sandwich = Pure Happiness for tastebuds. 👍😇😀
I love tomato sandwiches with Dukes mayo, the best of summer sandwiches. I so remember my grandmother asking for light bread when we visited her in East Tennessee.
Grew up on tomato 🥪 and cucumber 🥒 🥪 yum. As a foster child now at 60. We lived off the land. Such a nice upbringing. I walk around looking at my small veg plants, it's like a watched pot that never boils. Your garden looks so amazing. Everything it's so wet still from all the rain. Stay out of the heat. Enjoy your day, from VA 🙏💜
Matt's a cool dude! Happy he finally got his "mater" sandwich..😉😄
Three cheers for the first tomato!!! Way to go Matt...worth the effort and worth the wait for sure!
Theres nothing like a tomato straight out of the garden. Tomato sandwiches are the best Mmmmm
4th of July and first Mater sandwich. Best celebration of Appalachia that could be. God bless Gardeners and Farmers.😃
Nothing better than a homegrown tomato. We eat bacon,lettuce, and tomato sandwiches all year...but with a twist. The twist is that my mother always sliced a hardboiled egg and but a layer of that on the bread before compiling the blt, and now we always have to have egg on the blt too. :-)
That first tomato sandwich of the season hits the spot ❤ nice to see people who understand 😂
It's one of those childhood experiences that creates a good memory❤😊
I meant to tell you, Matt, that the next best thing to a fresh tomato sandwich is to make one with your canned tomatoes.
I just put some canned tomatoes in a wire basket and let it sit for a few hours so it's drained good. I've even sliced mine and then put on toast (toast so the bread won't fall to pieces) with mayo and salt. It's yummy.
The next milestone is Matt’s first fried green tomatoes!! 😊
every summer, my mom and I dove into the first tomatoes of the year this way. mayo, pepper, salt and bread. nothing better than home grown tommies !
Those little orange colored tomatoes are sooo good. My son grows them and other kinds like mortgage lifters, so good!
“A man after my own heart.” I might have toasted the bread. Perfection, either way. 🤗
That looks SO good! That first tomato from the garden cannot be beat. We call them "sink 'mater sammiches!" Eat them right over the sink and let that sweet delicious juice just run down your arms, so juicy and delicious! Thanks for making my mouth water! My tomatoes are coming along but not ready yet. I can't wait!
I share his love for that. I have access to good tomatoes every summer and look forward to mater sammiches!
You just can't beat a good garden fresh tomato sandwich 🍅
Light bread is what my folks always called soft white bread, and I believe that my Grandfather called it 'wasp nest' bread! When he said it it sounded like 'wassnest' Fun precious memories. 💗
Warms my heart. Tomato sandwiches are my roots. Hill folk. ✨❤️🇺🇸
Today I bought my first tomatoes at the Farmers’ Market. I was salivating all through this, and Matt’s “hot from the Sun” did me in, lol. I had left the one I’m going to eat out in the sun when I got home.
We grew up here in Alabama eating tomato sandwiches on "light bread" and drinking "sweet milk". It made me smile to see Matt get to have his first mater sandwich of the season :).
I'm with Katie on the tomato thing. I will eat BLTs, as long as the tomato isn't to thick or squishy. But not thrilled about tomatoes. I use a lot of black pepper on everything. I do like lots of onion. I really enjoy being able to be a part of your family, so to speak. Thank you for allowing us to follow along. Happy Tomato Day Matt!
Thank you!!
Hey Matt, I'm right there with you!
Fresh white bread and home grown tomatoes still warm from the sun!
