Sweet Tomatoes

Michael Dog3 Lonergan said:

Steven was off today. We had fun.
Off we went and I was pleasantly surprised. No kids in sight. Not one. It
might have been the time of day but the salad bar thingy was high up and
brats can not reach it easily.

Nice time you had then, you must have been a good boy! It's nice to
have a connection later on with someone who has helped you through
trying times, and you only have that because you deserve it. I'm
jealous over all the freshness, but also just about to have dinner
here. Pot roast with spuds & carrots, roasted in dark shroom-gravey
with wine.

Steven was off today. We had fun. A friend of his (one of his nurses)
came over to visit. She's from Jefferson County. I recognized her.
This dear soul helped me out when I first got home from the hospital.
She actually helped me shave once. Yep. She was one of my keepers. I
recognized her. She's seen me naked but so has all of the North American
continent. She has kind of a southern drawl thing going and it's very
hillbillyish. Anyway, I loved her instantly.

Kathy and Steven went to Plaza Frontenac and Crestwood Plaza. They
shopped the sales. Kathy's SUV was full when they returned. She was
hungry and I suggested lunch. She insisted on this *new* place she
heard about, "Sweet Tomatoes." I could feel my skin crawling. A salad
buffet is not what I had in mind.

Kathy is a doll so I changed into the appropriate sweats and tennis
shoes. Off we went and I was pleasantly surprised. No kids in sight.
Not one. It might have been the time of day but the salad bar thingy was
high up and brats can not reach it easily.

They had signature salads so I took a scoop of the Santa Fe salad, it
was good but dripping in dressing. The rest of my plate was devoted to
mixed greens, red onion slivers, a ton of bleu cheese, black olives and
a dressing of olive oil and a red wine vinegar. It was divine.

The chicken noodle soup was good. Huge amounts of chicken in broth with
big noodles. I had 2 cups of it. The house chili was blase'. A lot
like the Wendy's fast food chain. I was disappointed they were not
offering the cream of mushroom soup. There were a couple of other soup
choices which I did not taste.

Their pasta sucked. Enuf said on that. Their Blueberry muffins were
wonderful.

Basically I ate 2 salads, 2 cups of chicken noodle soup, 1 cup of chili
and about 5 blueberry muffins.

I'll go back.

Sweet Tomatoes is one of my lunch places around work. I always avoid their
pastas, but most of their soups are good, as well as most of their salads.
You get to know what to avoid if you go several times. On their website
they publish which of their speciality salads will be available at any
given time.

Thanks for the info Wayne. I doubt I will use their website. It is not a
place I will frequent but I will go back. Apparently the soups I thought
Steven made for me, when I was sick, came from there. Yes, the manager
squealed on him. Apparently Steven was a good customer at one time 😉

The chicken noodle soup is wonderful ( tastes like roasted chicken bits)
and I really love the cream of mushroom soup. The mushroom soup needs just
a dollop of sherry though. And Gawd, their pasta does suck... BIG time.

Sounds like a nice lunch, Michael. We have Sweet Tomatoes in the Houston
area, but I've never tried them. They sound much better than Souper Salad.

They are actually only one of the buffet-style places I can eat at
without getting sick. Their salad stuff is really fresh and well-kept.

I've been there a few times, it's ok. It's big enough that the clan can
go there without having to make special arrangements.

There's a Sweet Tomatoes near us and I always want to go there but DH
doesn't like 'rabbit food' so we've only been to the steakhouse next
door (where ironically we both ordered a salad!) Maybe I'll insist on
going there next time instead, since they have other things to eat
besides just soup - soup and salad is my idea of a good lunch 🙂
