Do you like tomatoes? I love 'em! Stewed, in a sauce, raw, juiced - I'll eat them no matter the form.
Here are some fantastic recipes to get your tomato on.
A Real Winner: Sweet and Savory Tomato Jam (So very yummy)
Home Made Tomato Ketchup (I don't use ketchup often, but this is good stuff)
Tomato Bread Pudding (I just drooled a little thinking of this)
Peach Tomato Salad (Excellent for summer)
Tomato Juice Cake (Tasty twist on the tomato soup cake)
Do you have any go-to tomato recipes?

Anthropomorphic Crush : Cuddly Rigor Mortis
For as long as I can remember, I've been a fan of anthropomorphism. You know, that fancy-pants term that means assigning human characteristics to nonliving/nonhuman things.
We often see this concept used in books and movies for little ones. Think of just about any Pixar movie you've ever seen and you'll find an example of anthropomorphism. Talking cars, toys, rats, fish - do I need to go on? (My fav Pixar flick is Toy Story 1, though 2 and 3 are close behind and I cry whenever I watch them. Don't look at me like that!)
It's pretty obvious that the Veggie Folk characters are in line with this concept. Unless the vegetables you eat often have faces, in which case you may want to contact the authorities about a possible bio hazard spill in your area.
Currently, my biggest anthropomorphic crush is on Cuddly Rigor Mortis.
Kristin Tercek is the talented mastermind behind these fabulous pieces of art. Her designs are sold as prints, plaques, and cards.
While this certainly doesn't apply to all of her works, my favorites are the pieces that combine cute characters in morbid situations. Like this poor guy.
Don't worry, she has plenty of other designs that are just plain adorable.
You can find Cuddly Rigor Mortis items for sale here, here, here, and here. And Kristin's main website is here.

If these were real, I would want several hundred of them for pets.
