Three Months On
Three months on the kitchen counter and the tomato is still holding its own. It's a bit wrinkly, and I had to dust it, but the skin is still firm and unbroken. No mushiness, odors, or other signs of rot to this tomato. Do you think a science museum or the Smithsonian would be interested in a donation?
Last month's update.
It reminds me of the astronaut ice cream Amtrak used to serve--it simply would not melt--no matter how long it sat on the plate.

Not even any weeping. That tomato (if it can be classified as such) should at least be sitting in a puddle of goo.
If you ever need to get out of something: "Excuse me, I have to go home and dust my tomato."

Do you think it is still edible?

Sorry, I don't think it ever WAS edible.
It's, you know, scary.

I've been thinking that the cause for concern might not be the tomato but the environment in your apartment. Or maybe that's a good thing.... your apartment might be the nexus for the Fountain of Youth ;)

You could be on to something, Melissa. Much like the tomato, I haven't rotted from the inside, but I have become more wrinkled.

Lol! Let's hope neither of you start weeping all over the counter ;)
