On the vine are supposed to be safe, cooked tomatoes safe. I don't know - can washing clean off salmonella?
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I do like being a blue-eyed brunette so I can't complain too much.
It's very striking!
It is!
I kinda feel like I won the lottery with my eyes and cheekbones, so I can't complain too much about the rest of it (like my teeth - thanks, Mom).
Actually breast size is supposedly passed down mostly via your dad's mom than your own.
I did not know that. Huh!
Genetics are fun! It's like a biology version of the "How do YOU do it??" game.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I can understand them wanting to avoid tomatoes until the madness ends. It's the "substitution" fiction that gets me -- "we're sorry, but we just can't serve tomatoes right now", or "we can't serve tomatoes, so we're serving a different salsa instead" would be completely reasonable responses. But the suggestion that lettuce and pico de gallo are somehow equivalent is WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONGITY WRONG SO VERY OMG WRONG.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I believe that a healthy diet helps most diseases
I don't know that that's true; however, even if a healthy diet doesn't affect a *disease* (by curing/mitigating it), a healthy diet can support a person's overall health/state of being, such that the impact of having a disease is lessened.
And, of course, there's always the beneficial mental-health properties of [your favorite food here].

Yeah, seriously. Why not salsa verde, or a cooked tomato salsa? But lettuce? It's a whole different kind of thing!

For example, homemade dulce de leche ice cream is good for the soul.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
There's a gross article in this month's Marie Claire about a woman who was told by her doctor that she was "obese" at nearly 6 feet and like 175. Dude.
I don't cross the obesity threshold and I weight 215 lbs. at that height. Are they sure this guy was a doctor and not a fashion designer who thinks stethoscopes are the next big trend in accessories?
What I mean is that it's not like a given percentile is a grade. It's not like, "OH! 100th percentile! I have a better baby!" which is what I sometimes hear on the playground.
Well... if you plan on hooking the child up to a yoke and using them to plow fields, I guess the highest scores are best.

I KNOW!
And they're still serving the cooked tomato salsa, so I was able to load up a container of that and pour it over my mini tostada. But still! Lettuce not the same as pico de gallo!
