At this time of year, a favourite lunch is a huge 'Bruschetta', using nearly all the toms we have at the time...
So, every other day, about eight per plate get a good seeing to, and if they're doing any harm, I'd maybe not be worried at all!
I've heard the arthritis query from time to time, but have never taken it seriously, but then, life's like that...
(Mind you, we were going to have a beef casserole today, and having got it out of the freezer, it seems to have 'blown' in it's plastic bag, so another tom delight is on the menu for the fortieth time this year..;0) That'll go down well with a glass of Biddenden Cider - have you tried it Mum, Auntie? Fabulous!
