The other week, my mother was reminiscing about how she'd just sit on her grandmother's front porch as a girl and eat all of these fresh tomatoes with salt, and they'd make her mouth all full of canker sores and they'd hurt so much, but she'd still keep eating the tomatoes.
Also the other week, I was talking about the farmer's market with my one (Thai) (newlywed) coworker and brought in a few tomatoes for her in an old Burger King takeout bag so she could take them home and try those varieties, and then the next time that we worked together, she brought me in a big soft cookie in a wax paper bag, as a thank-you for the tomatoes.
