I remember last year September when we arrived Canada, we got to find out that the tomato🍅 season has just passed that we wouldn’t be able to find tomatoes in stores again till next summer, the following year.
I panicked!!!😩
As a typical Naija mum and chef, how was I going to survive without tomatoes for one whole year!
I rushed to the stores (Walmart and No frills) which were close to me and counted the few tomatoes I saw there.
Then I bought enough tin tomatoes to compliment the fresh tomatoes.
Little did I know that they meant I wouldn’t be able to buy them at cheap prices again till the coming year.
As summer came, I sharpened my ears, kept them to the ground waiting to hear that news ‘Tomatoes are now on sale, rush now and grab yours’
So you can imagine how I rushed to the stores few days ago to grab my boxes of tomatoes.
I didn’t want to hear the same story again this year.
Now I’m happy, I have tomatoes that will last me for a whole year and more.
Till we meet again, my beloved summer tomatoes😁💃
Have you bought your tomatoes?
How much is a box in your area?
