CAUTION: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! This post contains some graphic, X-rated photos of nude tomatoes. Exploiting tomatoes is not my intention. Reporting on the current naked tomato situation in my wheat field, is my intention, however twisted this may be. I’ve taken every measure to protect the identity of the victims by blocking out their faces. But the facts are the facts. These tomatoes are naked!
This, my friends, is a naked tomato. Cellulite, varicose veins and all, it’s naked, in all it’s glory.
Question is how did these tomatoes get talked out of their clothes?
The answer is simple (like everything else around here). I have discovered a streaking tomato ring. Disturbing isn’t it?
First the tomatoes are brought in against their will, brainwashed and thrown into some boiling water…until they crack.
Yes, my friends it’s the old ’leaned on until they crack’ routine.
Then they are pulled out of the water…
and thrown into freezing cold water…
Oh, the horror!
Finally, they are removed of their clothes. And exploited…
Good guys…
A naked tomato recovery effort is underway. So far all the naked tomatoes recovered have been made into salsa. They have found peace and safety in canning jars in my cellar, where they will live out the rest of their days until eaten some time this winter. God bless them. Recipe to follow.
Reporting live on the scene,

I’m cracking up that you blocked out their “faces”…!
Michelle ~ I know… I’m sick. But, you know how it is when you nurture something from a seed, you want to protect it. I’m thinking anyone that takes pictures of eggs from their chickens (daily) can identify (yes, I’m talking about you.)
Love your blog, BTW! Thanks for stopping by. Sandhill Sis
