You found it necessary to say that -- almost two years after this post appeared? Now we know that someone out there has less of a life than we do. But in the interest of horticultural accuracy, and so as not to offend our many friends in the bioengineering industry, we hereby withdraw the tomato joke. Not literally, though; editing an old post on Blogger is a pain in the ass.The Editorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17962307263423414789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8853559041593741286.post-82127057313916567712011-12-01T15:45:57.074-05:002011-12-01T15:45:57.074-05:00I find it necessary to say that all grocery tomatoes are genetically enineered to some extent. Untouched, wild tomatoes are toxic, and resemble green golf balls more than the savory, red berry used to make lasagna.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8853559041593741286.post-64934031986335631492009-12-19T20:05:29.643-05:002009-12-19T20:05:29.643-05:00Truly, Olive Garden is the Ninth Circle of Hell for Italian grandmothers. But before it comes to that, this self-centered family might consider the possibility that, instead of developing a serious neurological disorder, Nana was just getting sick of having to make them dinner every goddamn Sunday.The Editorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17962307263423414789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8853559041593741286.post-73396169509159620642009-12-13T10:23:17.659-05:002009-12-13T10:23:17.659-05:00I liked the obvious Italian-ness of the family. That, and the ridiculous use of a snow-white table cloth for a dinner featuring tomato sauce. <br /><br />I hope that when the family first arrived and found that grandma hadn&#39;t been slaving all day to prepare lasagna, they at least took her out to Olive Garden. That would cure anyone of ever, EVER forgetting to cook again.John F Jamelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8853559041593741286.post-84690668103418639002009-12-13T08:14:34.132-05:002009-12-13T08:14:34.132-05:00<i>Giving your aging parents psychotropic medication is easier than teaching them how to use a Blackberry.</i><br /><br />Or, for that matter, interacting with them on a daily basis.DreadedCandiru2http://www.blogger.com/profile/15561460498807276057noreply@blogger.com
