You Say Stuffed Tomato, I Say Stuffed Tomato

I'm back in my studio today -- and look what I have waiting for me! A beautiful tomato stuffed with tuna, served on a wild arugula salad with olives and parmesan cheese, topped with balsamic dressing. I don't know that much about cooking, but I do know how much tuna it takes to stuff a tomato. When you ask the tomato if he'd like some more, and he says, "No thanks, I'm stuffed," you know to stop there. I'm just kidding, of course. Tomatoes can't talk. It's a good thing, too, because if tomatoes did talk, they would be much harder to eat. "Oh no, please don't eat me, Ellen!" I'd end up starving. With my luck, the tomato wouldn't stop talking and would annoy me all day long. "Ellen, could you put me in the sun? Ellen, can I have some water, Ellen can you scratch my vine?" Speaking of talking, I shouldn't be talking with my mouth full, and my lunch is getting cold. How can I tell my lunch is getting cold? It just asked for a sweater.

Enjoy your lunch.

Ellen

Mille grazie per la fotografia,

I am so hungry, I am almost dead only by watching that wonderful salad. Now I may go at home and will close my office, will jump into my car - no, I have to run back, I forgot my dog under my desk in the office - and we will be at home around 9 o´clock in the evening for having lunch - who will cook? May I rent your your cook, Ellen? Will you send us the picture via fax, maybe I can put it in the microwave and lunch is ready?

Oooooooo - Ellen,just LOOK at that greenery; it looks kind of like someone was mowing the lawn, and a Tomato stepped in. Was it good? All the green stuff, I mean? It's my lunch break, here in Middle America, where it's 12:50 pm, and I'm having Hot & Spicy Beef w/ Fried Rice from a local Chinese Cuisine place. But looking at your Tomato, hmmmm, I think I'll see if I can scrounge up a Stuffed Tomato for desert.
Keep 'em laughing, Lady Ellen!
