Tomato rice with grandparents

From childhood, had seen my grandfather ate tomatoes everyday. To the fruits that is not sweet, I was not fond of it.

In order to have me to eat tomato, grandma made different tomato combinations with other food. She would make a hole in tomato, inside put in rice and meat or fruits.

All relatives and friends said grandfather's skin was tight and bright, without wrinkles, just like a tomato. At that moment grandfater was already nearly 70 years old.


Remember in that time had grown some tomatoes in yard. Grandfather would use tree branches to support.


Now, when see tomatoes will think of grandfather, will buy some tomatoes back home to make salads or as decoration. My favorite is to put ice cream inside tomato as grandfather had always done in summer.


In the dream also hoped to have a tomato plant in a pot.
