Not sure, but I would make sure my pitch was 'perfect' and be prepared to expect the unexpected! Some of those dragons are aptly named! :wink:


Come on Bubbles....you must have one idea for the Dragons :)


:lol:

.... that's scared her off!




Not all of us are pinned to the computer 24/7!

Now, I am thinking of a machine that will turn all the carrots in the world into tomatoes :wink:


Why, carrots make you see in the dark? :roll: :wink: :)

Tomatoes are the best, I love them.

The smell, the taste everything about them. I also love ketchup.

Telegraph wrote:PROSTATE CANCER

A study at Harvard University, in 1986, looked at the impact of 46 fruits and vegetables on the development of prostate cancer over nine years. Only four food items were found to be significantly related to a lower risk of prostate cancer - tomato sauce, fresh tomatoes, tomato juice and tomato purée.

Men who had regularly eaten 10 or more helpings per week had reduced their risk of developing the cancer by 30 per cent, as compared to those who consistently consumed one helping or less. Again, tomato sauce made by cooking tomatoes in oil appeared to be more effective than raw tomato. Recent trials have suggested that tomatoes could also reduce, slow or prevent the conversion of latent prostate cancer to the aggressive, lethal form.

MALE FERTILITY

Excess production of free radicals in the semen reduces sperm count and has been linked to infertility.

In a study of 50 people, infertile patients were given a daily capsule containing eight mg of lycopene until their sperm analysis was normalised or pregnancy was achieved. There was a 36 per cent pregnancy success rate.

I have been adding ketchup to my meals for centuries now - and I'm still alive.

Yum yum cheese on toast with a dollop of ketchup - yum yum

They do wonderful things for your IQ.

Perhaps someone should invent a tomatoe machine where we could just press a button and out pops a tomatoe!

Phew...! Good to know I've been doing something right.

Every lunch time for about 8 years now I've been having tuna fish with fresh salad..including tomato. S'pose I might be averaging 8 to 10 per week.

Had a coronary artery problem 8 years ago so consequently have been watching my diet since then.
