And I've seen bigger!

It's common over here, when you have guests or are at a restarant, to have a platter of fresh vegetables. They don't just have your run-of-the-mill tomatoes. No, no, no. They're huge.

I went to the vegetable market after taking the twins to camp to get pears, nectarines, etc. I had my camera in my purse and had to snap this picture. I would have put one of these beauties next to a regular tomato for comparison, but I was already acting strangely by taking a picture of tomatoes. I figured that made me look strange enough without setting up the shot.

But while these tomatoes are big, I've seen much larger on the table. They just slice and salt them and dig in. And they're welcome to it! I've never cared much for tomatoes. I like them cooked, preferably in a sauce, but I've never cared to eat fresh tomatoes. I come from a long-line of tomato-growers who loved to sit down at the table in the summer and salt and pepper a plate full of tomato slices. I'm a disappointment. {sigh}
