Since David so RUDELY pointed out that I don't update this blog (tell me that next year when YOU have to write your thesis!!), I decided to take a break from the insanity that is my life right now and bring you the promised "One Pound Tomato" entry.

As I'm sure you PSPers know, the Betas put on a scavenger hunt. One of the items was to find the BIGGEST TOMATO in Safeway. Eva found a tomato that weighed a whopping 0.96 pounds and cost $3.16. We totally thought that we were going to win that part of the scavenger hunt. But little did we know, that Alex's Rice Rocket group had come across a mutant behemoth....an uber-tomato that cost $3.75!! Crushed, our group accepted defeat and settled for second place.

But now comes the question of what to do with our one pound tomato. Can't really throw it away.... cost too much. You could almost buy a meal at the Ghetto for that. Or a Cheese N Stuff sandwich. So, two limes, three additional roma tomatoes, 2 serrano chile peppers, a small onion, and a handful of cilantro later, we present to you, TWO POUNDS OF SALSA which Eva and I promptly started eating. Seeing as how it was a lot of salsa and we probably couldn't finish it all ourselves, we invited our fellow 2525 Stuart Street apartment-mate, Anjali, over to share in the salsa extravaganza. We finished the whole thing and I promptly felt a little sick afterwards.

Moral of the story: tortilla chips and salsa should not be substituted for dinner.
