Me: So I just threw out about six Roma tomatoes.
Mom: Had you eaten any?
Me: Yes, over the weekend. But I figure why push it?
Mom: Well you’d know it if by now if they’d made you sick.
Me: Yeah. Hey, have I ever had food poisoning? I can’t remember.
Mom: I don’t think so. I think we’d remember that.
Me: I’d think so too.
Mom: And with all that eating you’ve done from places parked on the side of the road, I’d say tomatoes are your last concern.
Danielle says:
Some of those places parked by the side of the road are the best!! Actually if you’re talking farmer’s parked and selling stuff…probably healthier than anything you can get that is “FDA” approved from the store!

That’s a good test for your stomach though- the eating at roadside places.

Not to mention all those other vacation destinations you frequent!
Eating can be quite the adventure.
But yum… farmer’s market produce!

farmer’s markets are great but I can’t eat from food vendors. Just can’t do it — the hot dogs, the gyros, etc. Just where do they wash their hands throughout the day?

So glad you aren’t sick!
I think we will eat a lot of spaghetti sauce for a while.

BTW - I read your “about” for the first time tonight… nice to see your photo. It’s good to have a face in my head when reading your blog.

Words of truth an wisdom. I am still shaking my head over everyone tossing out tomatos.
How about cooking them to 212 degrees and making a lovely red sauce?

umm yeah…hate to say she has a point but she does….then again it all goes together as immunization. I’m still eating my tomatoes - can always make a sauce!

On a totally different note…catching up to your previous posts I came across the pics of your cute nephew - boy does time fly. Seems like just yesterday you were describing him as a baby….and then it’s odd and somewhat creepy that I should be having insight into someone’s life that I have never meet. Weird how the internet works….weird and creepy.

i guess it’s good you’re being safe with the tomatoes, though…

I think eating that stuff only makes your stomach stronger.

Your Mom’s right, I ‘m not shunning my Tamatoes either. Still waiting to see the new site design!

My mother and I just had the same conversation, but then we decided we couldn’t eat a salad without tomatoes, so we took a chance.
