  • Think I'll have 'maters for brekkie, now.

  • mom's and their little straight pins.
    *pop*  sssssssssssssss.

    urinated tomates made me almost spit my chipotle fajita burrito all over.  i like ms 4.  mostly because i'm the one who came home and announced to the family at the dinner table that octopi had 8 testicles.  see?  we have a little something in common.

  • bahahaha.  I love what comes out of kids' mouths, man.  Urinated tomatoes.  I love 'em, too.  Look at that picture--tomatopalooza.  Mmm!  I could eat 'em all day!  Pick one off the vine. Or sliced on a sandwich.  Mmm!

    Look how tall Ms.7 is!  (Dang, is she seven??)

  • i hereby nominate you for gardener and mom of the year.  That loud flapping sound is a one-handed wildcane clapping feverishly 

  • Well whatever I still think they are best urinated! If thats you in your garden it looks *amazing*

  • I did sixty-four quarts one year. If you ever get too many tomatoes, start making Spanish Rice. That can use them up quickly.

  • I suppose that urinated tomatoes would make kidney stones seem like child's play.  I'll stick with the marinated variety, too.

  • Whew!  I've seen small kidney stones & blood clots urinated, but tomatoes?  LOL!!!  I hope you are staying cool canning all this stuff.

  • out of the mouths of babes...  hahahahaha

  • OH MY GOD......  I am snorting over that one!!!! hahahahahahahhahahahaha

    Love this pic, Faith.  I am keeping it.  xoxo

  • that is hilarious! the funniest! thanks for sharing that. fantastic!

  • lol @ ms. 4.................

  • haha.
    urinated, marinated... home-grown tomatoes are best!

    --and I thought my tomato plants grew tall--
    did you happen to plant yours in compost?
    I find mine get outta control TALL, when I plant 'em in compost.

  • Haaaa haaaaa, don't their comments brighten your day?!?!?   I'm envious of your tomato canning!  I have no room to grow more than 2 plants.
