the love apple

Did you go to the 28th annual tomato contest in Boston? WELL! Every year Mary Kassler and Bob Heiss test tomatoes on taste, firmness, color, and shape. I don't know why shape matters. Or color. Or firmness. Doesn't it just have to taste good?

And it's a tomato! They don't even taste good! Full disclosure, I don't actually like tomatoes. I like them only in ketchup flavor.

They even call the tomato the "love apple."

As much as I ADORE the term "love apple," I cannot give that name to the tomato. I actually can't think of anything except the apple that deserves to be called "love apple." Maybe a pineapple? Or banana? Strawberry, probably. Definitely NOT tomato.

I would never eat a tomato like an apple...unless, perhaps, I could not clearly see the produce display and only had blurry colors from which to pick. Then I might, accidentally, pick up a tomato and take a bite out of it. But the shape, color, and firmness would have to trick me. (Now I see why that's judged!)

But of course, that would only happen if my glasses fell into the river.

Which they did.

I was swatting at a bee near my head and BOOP! glasses flew off and into the river!

So if you are showering and some glasses fall out of the nozzle (that's a fun world), those are mine. Thanks.

If you do not return them, I will blame you for all mishaps involving love apples.

And by love apples, I mean gross tomatoes.

I'm off to squint at the produce.

Enjoy Everything.

the colors are everywhere

I broke a plate (sad face). Or I guess I could emoticon it. :(

I don't think I ever broke a plate before! Glasses...yeah...plenty. But that's the glasseseses fault! They make them all glassy and stuff! I mean, really, what did they expect?

That's why I use plastic tumblers. I don't know why they're called that, but they do great tumbles! They NEVER break. AND they are bright colors! I like the green and orange ones. Green for my green beverages and orange for my orange ones.

I actually only have green and orange beverages. This is 168% true.

So I broke my plate while I was washing it. I think maybe I just washed it too much and wore it down. Or because I dropped it in the sink. Either way, it is now two half-plates.

You know what's cool? A kaleidoscope. Wow! That's a hard word to spell.

Oh...I thought of that because I was thinking of putting plate pieces into one. That would be awesome! Kaleidoscopes are really pretty. I would like to have one.

OOOOH! I would like a rocketship that is powered by a kaleidoscope!

Kaleidoscope Rocket!

That would be a good band name.

It would also be a good name for a unicorn.

I'm off to buy a unicorn and a rocket.

Enjoy Everything.
