Not that you eat them and don't like them, but that your toddler is following your good example and loves them :) I always found it funny that one of the few veggies I liked as a kid (tomatoes) were the one that my mother wouldn't eat.<BR/><BR/>Charlotte, you're so right! What stores are you shopping at? If you're not shopping locally, then the tomatoes were probably not ripe at all when they were picked. Even local ones are picked slightly before ripe. But if you pick them out of your garden, they're fully ripe and delicious!

I've frozen more than two dozen of them already and we've been eating them like mad.<BR/>One of my favorite dishes is tomato, potato, and onion with cheese (I use a Greek sheep cheese) smothered in olive oil,sprinkled with basil and salt, and baked for about an hour.<BR/>It's so good I could cry just thinking about it.Leah J.
