what would you do...

[amelia]

with a little tomato?

we are growing them at my school and we have a billion. each child took one home with a little note asking the parents to write down what they did with the tomato and then send the note back to school. we did this last year and we got some very funny responses.

last year, one of the little boys said they fed it to the dog b/c no one in their family likes tomatoes.

a little girl said she washed hers with soap to make it "sparkly clean" and then put it in her treasure box. i hope they don't forget it's in there..that could get ugly!

so..what would you do with a juicy, red tomato?

i'd clean mine..cut it in half and eat it with a little salt...

 

[lilminx]

That's what I would do with mine. Our similarites are scaring me, hon.

I would...put it on a pedestal, for a short while. And then, eat it, slowly, smiling all the while.

 

[Oilpainter]

I would eat it with a little sugar. I love fresh vegetables.

 

[riff]

Put it in some dish I was cooking or on a sandwich.

Or give it to my neighbor because she likes them.

I can't eat tomatoes like you, Amelia. I never could. I like them cooked.

 

[Azwed]

Take the seeds out and make tomato plants so I could make homeade tomato sauce.

I don't like tomatoes except for in sauce/salsa form.

 

[PacificBlue]

Salsa!!!

 

[Dessert]

Toss it at my S/O and start a food fight. I've been told one too many times to "eat your fruits and veggies."

 

[amelia]

i'm hijacking my own thread!

this has nothing to do with tomatoes..but we are also growing pumpkins..and they are huge! we've never had pumpkins as big as these..today one of the little boys said, "miss amy..those pumpkins are bigger than my head!"

ok..please resume your tomato talk!

Cut it into chunks, then plunk them into steaming hot angel hair pasta and toss with garlic, fresh basil and extra virgin olive oil.

I sound like Martha Stewart... but I'm not

Edit: I forgot the grated Reggiano Parmesan

 

[freakygirl]

I'd have to hide it until my kids fell asleep.. then I'd eat it. Unless one of them found it first, then I'd have to yell at whoever ate it.

 

[celiaKitten]

Eat it like an apple with some salt.

 

[Aphrodisiac]

With a shiny red tomato


I would slice it up and sneak it in my sandwich ...

 

[Basia]

I would name mine "Sparky". Sparky and me would go to the park, and to the store, and the movies. Then, I would buy Sparky about 50 little friends. Then Sparky and his 50 little friends would committ suicide on the neighbors cars and windows.

Hee hee. You make me laugh so much.

*stay away from my poor van! She's suffered enough!!*

 

[Silverlily]

Give it a little hat and paper feet, then use it as a centerpiece. When dinner was over, we'd let the bunny in the backyard have it (she seems to like the neighbor's tomatoes).

 

[Mistress]

I hate tomatos so I'd give it to my great grandmother who I just went and visited in Alabama the other day. I'd watch her peel the skin off then slice it and then eat it. I always get a kick out of her peeling the skin...must be a Southern thing because she is HIGHLY Southern.

That sounds delicious!

 

[kotori]

Where's Dixon? He's done stand-up, he's probably used to the occasional tomato being hurled his way.

 

[SleepingWarrior]

Most likely I'd end up watching it rot.

 

[Basia]

Hee hee. You make me laugh so much.

I try!


Like i would do such a thing! Little sweet innocent me?

 

[Spinaroonie]

Do the kids come back with notes that say "Our son threw his tomato at a dog. We are very disappointed in him."

 

[celiaKitten]

I try!

*ahem* You're one of the few people I've met that knows of *JTHM* ... innocent don't quite fit ya hon
