The Three Tomatoes are having ones of those scattered thought days (possibly exasperated by a little
over-beveraging last night) so today's email includes a little bit of everything
like blogs, spices, fashion crises and three other tomatoes you should know about.
What the Heck’s a Blog?
As you know, some of
The Three Tomatoes and our friends have resolved to lose those extra pounds we piled on last year.
And because misery truly does love company, we have created
The Three Tomatoes’ Blog, which is currently tracking our weekly progress, and thoughts along the way
(like do “sink-eating” calories really count, and shouldn’t wine be considered
a fruit?) Now if you’re one of those freak of nature tomatoes who can eat what
they want and never gain an ounce, well, not only do we hate you, but
The Three Tomatoes Blog is probably not for you, unless you like to gloat. But if you’re trying to
lose weight too, or thinking about it, we invite you to join in the fray. You
can add your comments and thoughts at
The Three Tomatoes Blog and get a little Three Tomatoes’ encouragement along the way. Don’t know what
the heck a blog is?

Gourmet Food Without the Guilt
Now even if you’re not looking to lose weight, most of us are trying to eat healthier.
Here’s a line of wonderful seasonings and condiments along with recipes from
timesavorgourmet.com that will help you make guilt free gourmet food in about the same time it takes
you to order in those 5,000 calorie meals from your favorite local food joint.
Timesavor Gourmet is the brainchild of Stacey Hawkins, a self-proclaimed food junkie who wanted
to lose weight and still indulge in great food. Her personal success (yes, she’s
lost a ton of weight without giving up great food) led her to create this great
product line of dry seasonings (like Citrus Dill Blend which is great in tuna
salad), healthy oils, mustards and a Balsamic Condimenti that’s a great salad
dressing (0 fat, 10 calories) or topping for strawberries. The herbs and seasons
are hand-selected from around the world for freshness, vibrance and flavor and
blended in small batches to ensure freshness, flavor and quality. So throw away
those store bought seasonings that have been hanging around your spice cabinet
since Jimmy Carter was president and stock up today. The products and easy to
make recipes are available at
www.timesavorgourmet.com.
Need a cocktail dress tonight and no time to shop?
Picture this. You’re in your office dressed in business casual and your best
friend calls and tells you she has tickets tonight to the opening of the hottest
new play in town and an invite to the after show cast party. Not only do you have
“nothing to wear”, but you don’t even have time to get home and peruse your closet
full of nothing to wears, and no time to leave the office for a quick run to Saks. No
need to miss the big event, or go looking like a slob. Just hit the web and go
to
http://edressme.com and eDressme New York’s
Dress to a Desk™ Manhattan service will come to your rescue. Choose from their line of “red carpet” and designer
evening and cocktail dresses and for just $20 extra, the dress will get delivered
to your desk in NYC in as little as two hours! Another reason to love New York
!
Tomatoes you should know about
We love getting your emails and hearing from funny and interesting tomatoes in
and out of New York City. Here are three other tomatoes to put on your radar
screen.
And then there’s Marsha Jordan who is the founder of a nonprofit charity for
sick children and author of an inspirational women's book to raise money for the
kids. Check out her site at
www.hugsandhope.org and learn about the book at

Til next week.
