i’m a tomato blogger!
Go over to TomatoCasual.com and check out my post, The Tomato: A Relatively New Addition to the Dinner Table, and then click on the home page to see all the posts.
The site was just launched today, so be sure to bookmark it and/or subscribe so you can learn more about the tomato than you ever thought possible–its history, how to grow them, how to cook them, and much, much more.
On a personal note, I’ve spent all day today with some American friends in town (yeah for English!), and we’re having a blast. Just got back from the beach, so it’s time to shower off the sand and head to dinner.
Hope your Monday is/was just as lovely as mine!

Lucky girl!
I love tomatoes AND friends…
Guess we think alike.
Viva la pomodoro! (Did I do that right?)

Enjoy what sounds like a very “tough life”!

Farfallina: assolutamente sì!!
I had a friend who grew great ones in a container.

Michelle,
A nicely written piece on tomatoes. I’m going to show it to my cousins, next time they claim that Italy invented everything in the way of food.
Glad you’re getting to use your English!

Some tomatoes, some friends, the beach, life in Italy. Doesn’t sound like a bad day indeed.
Thanks for overshadowing my Monday, but then your Tuesday through Sunday will beat mine as well. Oh well.

B-A, thank you much!
Betty C., thanks for commenting–I’m excited too
Aimee, hope your Monday turned out OK after all
Farfallina, glad Paolo supplied you with that link; I’ll think you’ll be enjoying your own pomodori soon
Jennie, well technically “pomodoro” is masculine, so it’d be “il pomodoro,” but I caught your drift
AV & A, oh if only life were tomatoes, friends, and beach outings….
Paolo, thanks for stepping in there; and yes, tomatoes can absolutely be grown on balconies
Erin, I wish I could find more crazy (or normal) sites…income is a lovely thing
Frances, isn’t that pomodoro spectacular?!
Candace, thanks; your cousins sound *very* Italian
Qualcosa, hope you continue to enjoy the site as it grows!
Witnessing, you’re always using different names; good think I can recognize you
Hope your Tuesday is more lovely than my Monday

Sara, I think we’re going to have a lot of fun over there; glad to hear you’ll be joining us!
Also, thanks to everyone who went over to check out this exciting new site–especially to those who commented too

You’re a tomato blogger? My word; there really is a niche for EVERYTHING!

Stefanie, yes indeedy! I figure if people can have huge blogging success with knitting and other hobbies, why not the tomato right? Of course it wasn’t my idea, but I do think it’s rather genius
