Brown Tomatoes

Brown Tomatoes

I saw these brown tomatoes from Mexico while I was shopping at Costco early this week. I didn't buy them as I thought they likely just taste like tomatoes. Have you ever seen or had these before? My friend bought some and says they taste sweeter than the regular ones, so maybe I'll try them another time.

I was out walking with my friend S  when she ran into an acquaintance biking in the neighbourhood.  Their kids used to play baseball together years ago.  It turns out the gentleman is newly retired and still deciding what to do to keep himself busy.  His daughters are in university and his wife will decide whether she herself will retire later this year.  He said I looked familiar and wondered if I was ever involved in baseball.  I told him there was no chance of that, as I have never been the least interested in the sport.  I doubted whether I really did look familiar to him, and thought he was just saying that in a polite way.

A few minutes after we bid him goodbye, I remembered his daughters used to go to the same dance school as my daughter L for many years.  It was interesting catching up after the fact!  Maybe he remembered who I was later on as well.  His wife used to take the girls to class more often, so I would've had a better memory of her.  When I mentioned the story to L, she said his daughters are really good friends with mutual friends of ours as they are their neighbours!  Small world anyway.
