Random Thought

Wouldn't life suck if there were no such thing as tomatoes?

I mean, seriously.

Without tomatoes, there would be no ketchup, and then we couldn't look down upon those who put the stuff on hot dogs.

Did you read this week where somewhere in Spain they have a huge tomato fight? I can't find the link now but the photos were pretty incredible. Imagine 30000 people just hurling tomatoes at each other in the middle of the streets of a small town.

One of the great things about the big tomato fight in that town in Spain is that the tomatos are a mild detergent so that when the whole mess is rinsed off the town is sparkley clean. Plus, they get to watch all the tourists act crazy. That would be even more fun than watching drunk people.

...or running down a narrow street, away from rampaging bulls.

Ara, I think Dean is starting to channel Andy Rooney, or something... :)

I could live without tomatoes. But cheese, that's a different story.

But if there was no such thing as tomatoes, we wouldn't know it. Oh, great, now you've got me thinking there's probably no such thing as something way cooler! Somebody needs to invent it.

Only 2 things you can't buy.

1. True Love
2. Home Grown Tomatoes

What! Tomatoes are the scum of the earth. They're so not even normal. I mean, they're classified as a fruit to botanists but as a vegetable to cooks. They're clearly of the devil.

Yuck. You're even wronger about this than you were about the bright meme. I can't believe it.

I hate tomatoes. Except when made into delicious sauces.

But they ARE delicious as sauces.

One of the best things about my husband is that he hates tomatoes. I always get the extra ones from his salad/burger/etc. Then ... we had children. They can walk into the room, sniff, go "hmm, that sure looks yummy" and I just and it over. My husband laughs hysterically. My mother says I'm paying for my upbringing.

Well, I say tomatos----couldn't resist,well nobody else said this ole tune, you know-, yous tomatoe, I say tomato-- you say patatoe, I say patato---

Without tomoatoes, no tomato sauces.

Why live in such a world? :-)
