RED STUFF: IN IT’S OWN WORDS

                                                                                        The unshakable reign of red.

RED STUFF. The most unexpected ingredients get praise for their ability to stimulate sexual attraction.

More than for their health-related properties of course. And so, from ancient times to modern times many are still—surprising.

Perhaps we should refer to the tomato as overly passionate. As well as those whom eat them.

But for now onions, garlic, and tomatoes will continue to appear in most dishes around the globe. So, let a bowl of the red stuff heat up the body on a cold night or any night…for that matter. Bottom line…for more passion—EAT RED!

Tomatoes. Because there is a fine line between passionate red and the edible green.

RED TOMATOES LE NOTEs

Passionate, hardly. But certainly, many folks feel that way about their tomatoes. As you might be guessing, the little gems attracted the neophyte. Mostly for inciting excessive public passions. As local legend had it. So, they began planting them. They went all out, of course.

Because neophytes never want to start small and expand. Instead, they want to go big. And share the bounty with neighbors.

Red tomatoes! They gOT the power-house reputation!

Incidentally one plant per person is enough. Unless you plan on canning some for winter. But to plant two dozen, neophytes obviously had intentions of eating them morning, noon, and night. Or something else all together.

So, next summer watch how the sun travels across the neighbor’s garden. Especially if they’re growing excessively. In that case, they might be planting the art of persuasion!

Not to mention a touch of personal tastes.

TOMATOES, PLANTING THE SEEDS OF CHANGE.

SHOUT IT OUT! MAGIC

Soups like these are a wiz to make. Surly it’s got this, that, and the other thing. But it makes for a better winter leading to a funner summer. Simply freeze it as a leftover or eat it for a few nights. You’ll begin feeling a new sense of life as you change your old habits.

The best thing about soup is adding more ingredients, while increasing the flavor. Soups might not be ground-breaking but they can keep you on the lean side for life.

So, take the high road. Of course, make a note to yourself. Because you don’t have to do yoga with a goat to make this soup fit perfectly. However, soups do that to people.

Better yet, soups leave few dishes and lots of spare time. Any Ideas?
