NEWEST REVELATION
So last night I f-i-n-a-l-l-y counted the number of vine ripened tomatoes that are packed in a 796mL/26 oz can: 15! We buy very few canned foods/produce, and lately I've been wanting to cut back on this item, but I had no idea how many tomatoes I'd need to buy to equal what's in the can. Fifteen tomatoes, lots of washing and cutting etc, thus, for now, we're sticking with canned.

Okay, I am so slacking in this but it is great to read what you're eating.
That tomato comparison was a great idea...thanks for taking the time to share what you found.

Okay, tonight I made for the kids "piglets in blankets". They are little miniature smoked sausages rolled up in crescent dough (i know, kind of nasty). I steamed some peas, sliced up fresh vine tomatoes, and the kids drank milk. They've been snacking on green grapes for dessert. Jake and I are having leftover white chili and tortilla chips. Tonight I'm going to made homeade 100% fruit popsicles for tomorrow.
