The Case of The Missing Tomatoes


It's 5:30 on Sunday night and I'm looking forward to the amazing fresh vegetables that I purchased from the farmer's market yesterday. I washed the yellow carrots and green onions and sprinkled my fresh greens all over my platter. I took the pistachios out of the freezer (yes I store them in the freezer, they stay fresh longer) and I chopped up my granny smith apples when I realized I can't find the multi colored grape tomatoes I bought yesterday. I asked my husband to go out to my car to check the back seat, the trunk and even the floor mats under the front seat. No sign of them anywhere! I know my vegetable challenged twins didn't suddenly get the hankering to eat a handful of bite size tomatoes. I'm baffled! Really? Did I leave them at the berry stand when I whipped out my cash to pay for the basket of strawberries that looked like I just wanted to stand there and eat them and forget the dessert I had in mind for later. Seriously, where are my tomatoes? I handed them to the farmer, I watched her put them in the bag with my other items and I walked on my way. It's a mystery! My week was a little chaotic. We were in Toronto for 5 days for a conference I needed to attend and I managed to get in a few days of exploring with my family. Niagara Falls is amazing! What an experience that was going on this little boat right up to the edge of the bottom of the Falls. So fun! Also to speak to my distracted mind, my older daughter is getting married in December and I'm in full swing with wedding plans. Not to mention I have an employee out for a month and covering for her. So it could be possible that those lovely organic farmer's market tomatoes went home with someone else. I imagine they were delicious.
