They look so friendly. They're my favorite color. They're filled with vitamin C. And lycopene. They do good things for your cholesterol. And your heart. They're a natural anti-inflammatory. And yet they fill me with dread.
I put it off for two days, but tonight I brought it up and told Gerry it was time. I was going to try one. "I thought we were making pizza?" he said. "No," I said, "I want to try it raw."
With a glass of water standing by, I took a deep breath and bit into a slice. Gerry said my face screwed up like a prune, and he knew right then I'm just not a tomato girl. Not wanting to give up, I will try again tomorrow, with the pizza.
He, however, will be happy to eat my share.

You have really been adventurous so far with all these new vegies, what a success!
I'd say to try one of the super sweet teeny cherry tomatoes, the yellow ones are soooo sweet and un-tomatoey. Keep on trying though, there is a huge variety in tomato texture and flavor. I love tomatoes a lot, but not all of them are worth a second or even first eating! Some are really better cooked as you'll discover.
Aw, Julie, your comment is so sweet and encouraging! Don't worry, I won't give up on ALL tomatoes just yet. I was looking forward to trying some on a pizza, but our dough failed. Blah.
