  1. ...I’m not sure if this will be on any large scaled news, but it is really bad. Though, have/will you heard/hear about it yet KIE?
    I've been so busy/asleep during the last 15 hours, the first time I heard about it was on the Today show this morning.

     

    Yeah, not something you want to make national news for, but that's the only thing that makes national news. Unless you're in New York.

  2. The tomato, botanically is indeed a fruit, a berry to be more exact; however the term vegetable is of culinary use, and has no use in botany, meaning that many things could be considered vegetables while still being aligned towards fruit botanically.

     

    The tomato's history contains some interesting debates about it's alignment going as far as the supreme court in 1887 because of an import tax being placed on vegetables but not fruits, in the end it was ruled the the tomato should indeed be subject to the tax, however there was no intention of the court to intend to change the classification botanically, culinary or otherwise.

     

    Horticulturally is a whole other issue, horticulture states that since the tomato does not grow on a woody stemmed plant and is annual, thus rendering it a vegetable from that perspective.

     

    I being highly interested in the culinary arts and noticing that both horticulture and the supreme court consider it a vegetable, personally think of it as a Veggie in my mind, no matter how incorrect that is.

    Quoted for end-of-discussion-ness.

  3. By the time I make it to collage I'll be an oversensitive, low esteemed, afraid, and to fearful to make any friends cuz of what goes on here....
    No you won't.

    That's what you've got this blog as an outlet for.

     

    And even if you didn't, well, my brother and I were like that, and I didn't have this kind of outlet when I was your age. We still ended up okay.
