Lately, I’ve been avoiding tomatoes. Ripe or slightly green, I don’t even put them on my plate. This coming from me, a person who lives on salad.

For six months, I’ve been noticing that this fruit—which we usually buy fresh at produce markets—has been tasting funny. Just to make sure, I asked my mom: “Have you noticed that the tomatos have a different taste?”

“Yes!” she answered right away. I don’t know what is going on. I’ve never drunk pesticides, but I’m under the impression that that is what I’m eating instead of tomatoes. Does anyone agree with me?

Even so, it’s too soon for nostalgia. Late last night, I wolfed down on an irresistible snack of peeled tomato.  Hunger!

Note: Monday, February 16, I’ll be a guest on the “Todo Seu” show, hosted by “cuttie” Ronie Von, to talk about blogs. Other colleagues will be there too. Among them, bloggers from Pergunte ao Urso and Nova Corja. Sweet.Read this post at the Xis-Xis blog: Tomatos no longer taste the same
