Does Patrick not like tomatoes? My husband hates them so much that even if I remove a miss placed tomato, he can still taste that it was there and refuses to eat the food. How can someone not like them. I eat ripe ones like apples they are so yummy. I love summer for this very reason. Fresh tomatoes from the vine.
Nicole this looks really good! And if you need short grain rice let me know,I will send a few boxes to you from the States!
Patrick HATES cooked tomatoes. He'll eat them in salads or sandwiches, but when it comes to spaghetti sauce, lasagne, chili, etc. he won't eat it.
Good for people to know.
