FIRST TOMATO!!!

Guess what we had next to our salad on Monday night?
THE FIRST TOMATO!!!!

Husband and I are delighted. We agree that it is the best tasting tomato we have EVER had. Just look at those pretty, round, red cheeks:

And those sprouts next to it? we grew that too.

It's actually crazy how easy it is do grow sprouts at home, I've done it often before and it's really nutritious. A sprout is literally a lentil that's gone from starch to vegetable, and it's great in salads.

Here's how:
1. put a handfull of dry lentils in a flat bowl
2. cover with water
3. put in sunny windowsil
4. keep it moist for about three days
5. collect sprouts!
