Smithsonian Magazine: “Tomatoes Have Legally Been Vegetables Since 1893”
Botanically, a tomato is a fruit. However, in common parlance it is a vegetable; hence the United States Supreme Court ruled that a tomato is a vegetable for the purposes of the customs regulations.

Some was used for caponata, some will be used for rice and beans tomorrow, a couple will go on grilled cheese, a couple will get put aside for salads and the rest will get canned whole. These are really good tomatoes so sorry but yes raw in salad and maybe a few will get used in smoothies.

here are some more Fruits for you to make smoothie
Tomatillos, Sweet pepper, Hot Peppers, Eggplants, Winter squashes (like butternut), Summer squashes (like zucchini)
Cucumbers, Bitter gourds, Chayote, Green beans, Peas, Avocados, Sweet corn, Okra, and Olives

the caponata sounds good and I do like Eggplant parm

 

[Tiggerish]

I just Googled caponata. The only vegetable I won’t eat in any form whatsoever is eggplant.

I do not like the aubergine.

The only way I will eat the aubergine is when it is breaded, fried, and smothered in tomato sauce and mozzarella. (i.e., eggplant parmagiana--my MIL made the best!)

With naan and hummus, maybe a mango chutney. ok now you have me wanting to make bread service next week

 

[Tiggerish]

what about Baba Ganoush?

So, hummus with eggplant instead of chickpeas? I'd give it a try.

 

[Figgy1]

Eggplant rollatini is my absolute favorite. If I see it on a restaurant menu it’s a must. Same with huevos rancheros. If it’s there, I get it. Yum.

I feel the same way, but about chicken strips.

Y'all can't even pronounce correctly

 

[JenniferS]

We are under a tornado watch for the next few hours. I’m hesitant to put my jammies on in case we have to seek shelter in the main building here.
