Tomato

No fresh tomatoes at Firehouse Subs. No fresh tomatoes at McDonald's. They have signs on the doors warning you and spreading panic across the land.

That's not really a problem for me because I almost always bring my lunch with me. I tend to pack it up the night before to make the morning easier but the other morning I didn't have my lunch made and I was running late. While I was in the shower, Cari was downstairs making my lunch for me. After getting ready I grabbed my lunch and ran out the door. When lunch came around, I sat down and looked at my sandwich. Cheese, turkey, and a slice of fresh tomato placed between two pieces of wheat bread.

I kept looking at it while I picked up my cell phone and called home. "Hey, there's a tomato on my sandwich."
She sounded confused when she replied, "I thought you like tomatoes on your sandwich."
I quizzed her, "How is it that McDonald's and every other place can't find a healthy tomato, but you found one?"

That's when she educated me on which tomatoes are safe and which ones are not. Turns out she wasn't trying to poison me.
