In other news, I made a chopped salad this week that had tomatoes, cucumbers and feta cheese in it. I have trouble eating tomatoes on their own outside of sandwiches and pizza/pasta, but once in a while I make an effort to eat them.
I will keep at it this week I guess and try the chopped salad again. Because it’s sometimes nice to eat whole foods, you know when you actually know what the food is?
Maybe the tomatoes will grow on me, or maybe they will start to actually grow inside me? haha

Hope you enjoy my podcast. Everyone loves you.

Elliot I’m with you on raw tomatoes. Now this however is coming from a man that spent a summer in Italy. Now that amazing summer has tainted me, because I ate the best tomatoes all the time. The kind you could eat like an apple. Even here in BC the tomatoes just aren’t up to snuff. The midget ones can be ok. But alas travel is a blessing and a curse. Thankfully our bagels are very high quality!!!
