I love how fruits and vegetables just grow into all kinds of shapes. This tomato depending on which way you turn it has many possibilities.

Like life. It all depends on how you look at things.

What if company drops in and it’s time for dinner?

If you like Sicilian olives add a few either pre- pitted or tear off pits and add in.
