tomatoes and dried cherries

hi_im_kelsi

first. tomatoes. my tomatoes seem to go bad, as in moldey and mushy, after just 2 or 3 days!! i leave them out in our fruit bowl, would putting them in the fridge keep them longer? anything else i could do to keep them longer?

second. dried cherries. i bought some at the grocery store (not organic), i was hoping to use them tonight in a cherry pudding sort of thing, so i soaked them in some water. now the water looks brown! is this normal? or is this because the cherries were not organic, if its the latter, i’ll just have to stick with fresh cherries!

i just got the cherries at the local grocery store. the closest ‘natural’ store with organic food and an abundance of raw ingredients is an hour and a half away, so i settled for these, thought they might do the trick, but i guess not!

i think theyre sunkist…ugh. i did buy them though before i knew anything about raw! this wasnt a ‘raw food purchase’ it was a vegan purchase, then turned raw.

i guess it is good that our tomatoes are picked at the right time. luckily the local grocery store is on my way home from work. i should just buy smaller quantities sooner!
