Dinner was a tomato sandwich

Been craving a tomato sandwich ever since the tomatoes have been growing in the garden. Sliced into a Brandywine Pink, larger than a slice of bread, spread a little mayonnaise, and could not have asked for a better sandwich. Tomatoes are good for dogs, and I shared the tomato with Yoo-Hoo and Derby.
Yoo-Hoo is pictured below licking his chops hoping for a handout. He is letting me know that he will gladly be happy to taste the tomato. After one taste, he came back for seconds, and thirds, etc..





Description from the Burpee website (where seeds were purchased):
Tomato, Brandywine Pink
HEIRLOOM. Dating back to 1885, this heirloom wins most flavor contests. Brandywine, which dates back to 1885, is the heirloom tomato standard. One taste and you’ll be enchanted by its superb flavor and luscious shade of red-pink. The large, beefsteak-shaped fruits grow on unusually upright, potato-leaved plants. The fruits set one or two per cluster and ripen late—and are worth the wait. Brandywine's qualities really shine when it develops an incredible fine, sweet flavor.
 

And this is the more red Brandy Boy sliced:
