It was a regular morning. I (Sami) was tired, hungry, and the coffee was still dripping. It wasn't until I had already finished my breakfast sandwich (with tomato slices on it) when I realized there was something seriously wrong about this particular tomato... It was still alive!!Why?
Apparently store-bought tomatoes do this sometimes. I did some research on google before posting this photo. Often a mutant gene causes the seeds to start growing inside fruit. Sometimes it happens because the tomato was harvested and taken off the vine and then kept in cold storage for a long time before being purchased and eaten.
So, there you have it. And look at the number of those sprouts! I could grow a whole tomato garden with those....

But you don't say if you ate it or not.
Whyyy!?
If you look carefully, you'll see that the tomato was sliced cleanly. This implies that I ate half of it before I realized something was wrong...
BTW, the tomato looks a lot like Naraku... those tentacles are just waiting to grab you!
Gross!! Pure tomato was surely cloned 10 times and went through multiple gene surgeries. So it forgot how to be a normal tomato...
I'll have to tell my friend about this. She's always giving me a hard time b/c I keep forgetting NOT to put my tomatoes in the fridge. I might not forget from now on! :-)
