Thanks to reader Veronica Herrera for sending this "from the mouths of
babes" food funny:

One afternoon as we sat down to tea, my five year old daughter Katie
picked up a scone that her Nana had baked earlier. She rapped on it
with her knuckles and said," No wonder you call these stones, Nana.
They're hard as rocks!"

Even at the best of times, finding good quality fresh tomatoes is a
hit or miss proposition, but canned tomatoes are always good. The
secret to this recipe is to serve them very cold.

Canned Tomato Salad

1 can (16 oz, 450 g) whole tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice
2 Tbs (30 ml) brown sugar
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Chopped fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Place the tomatoes in a non-reactive dish and sprinkle with the lemon
juice, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate until well chilled,
at least 2 hours. Serve garnished with chopped basil or parsley if
desired. Serves 4 to 6.
