  • Vine Ripe Tomatoes

    It's tomato season.  I am not complaining.  My in-laws and my friends all grow tomatoes in their backyard.  They've both given me shopping bags full of fresh-picked tomatoes. 

    I love them!

    How about you?  Which vegetable do you enjoy?

  • Actually, I just read the September newsletter handout given to us by our District Nutrition Network about tomatoes are botanically fruits. But in 1893, the US Supreme Court declared in as a vegetable.Yeah, we have a food curriculum we have to teach along with all the other subjects. Apparently, some of our schools are not "healthy and it" enough. So we have to raise our students in nutrition and exercise. We have to recite facts about the vegetable or fruit of the month as part of the curriculum. =)

  • I love tomatoes too, especially tomatoes sandwiches ....yummy.

  • i love tomatoes too!!  when i was growing up, my relatives would call me the tomato queen cuz i would eat 10 tomatoes at a time...like all the time.  not the cherry sized ones either.  heheh..

    my favorite tomatoes are the orange cherry tomatoes.  they have a sweetness that is wonderful in salads.  these orange tomatoes only come out in the summer.  so i will ask the farmer's market.."when are they going to be in season?  2 weeks?  4 weeks?"  =)

    my other favs are broccoli and spinach.  all the healthy stuff!!!
