I Could Eat A Pint Of You
Last night as I polished off a pint of grape tomatoes -- my second for the evening -- I asked MR if he thinks my grape tomato obsession is weird. He confessed that he does, but that he thinks it's not a bad obsession to have. I love grape tomatoes so much that I eat them whole pints at a time, sometimes even standing up in the grocery store. No one thinks twice about someone who can polish off a whole pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream, but you find a girl who eats tomatoes by the pintful and that's just bizarre.
"I love the tomatoes," I said to MR. "I love you too, but in a different way, and I'm glad I don't have to choose. I could eat a whole pint of you."
Then I broke into a rendition of Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You" with "pint" substituted for "case." Not exactly what Joni intended, but it sure gets the point across.
Work is EXTREMELY busy, so I haven't written much or cooked much. But last night I came home to a delightful surprise: MR had made green curry Quorn stir fry for dinner, and my portion was calorically identical to my quotidian brewers yeast soup! It was spicy and delicious, and filled the house with a nice curry smell. Then I had a jar of sugar free jello (20 cals) and a pint and a half of grape tomatoes for dessert. Yum!

Those tomatoes would be even better when cooked - according to the powers that be.

What a nice addiction!
I wish I was addicted to something as healthy as cherry tomatoes. Alas, no.
