Today an agent brought tomatoes from his garden, bread, and mayonaise and left them in the kitchen, so we've all been gorging ouselves on tomato sandwiches. And then someone brought a vidalia onion. Yum. :D
Tomatoes are hard to come by these days, since that salmonella scare. You can't get tomatoes on your sandwiches or in your salads at restaurants, and even in grocery stores, they're getting scarce. I keep thinking, okay, all you have to do is WASH them first and you won't get sick. And three seconds under the faucet isn't going to cut it, either. Bastards. The same thing happened to spinach last year, and now you can't find spinach salads anywhere.
And since I'm on the topic, I feel I have to point out that if we hadn't become so germ phobic in the first damn place, we wouldn't be as susceptible to food poisoning. We've been so crazy about disinfecting and sanitizing everything that now we have no immunity to anything anymore!
