My brothers visit from England was the occasion for the renewal of a continuing argument about the correct pronunciation of aluminum and tomato. It is a harmless diversion for aging brothers and a direct descendent of the never-ending schoolboy fight about who got to use the red cereal bowl. The red bowl was known to be superior in every respect. Or was it the yellow one?

This particular tomato rotted in the clear bowl on our counter and spread the black fungi in an interesting pattern. Don’t worry it is not E-coli or nuclear waste from North Korea. No fungi were harmed in the creation of this posting.
