We have few tomato plants in the garden and when we saw ripe ones, we picked them up and use them in the kitchen. I love the cherry tomatoes because they are so sweet and smells good too. Tomatoes benefit the heart because it contain the carotene lycopene which is one of the most powerful natural antioxidants.
It is believed that cooked tomatoes have been found to help prevent prostate cancer. The lycopene in tomatoes improves the skin's ability to protect against harmful UV rays.

This is $5 to $10 each and when it's really in season, we buy this only for a $1.
I really do not know which is sweeter but, we just bought 2 varieties of watermelons.
The place where we bought these fruits is located along the busy street in this area. There were few drivers stopped by and check on their produce.
We were able to buy worth $9 for two big water melons and three cantaloupe. That is a good deal right?
When we sliced the water melon, we were amazed to see a Yellow variety which they call Yellow Crimson Watermelon.
This cantaloupe is 3 for $5 and my sister in law bought 3 and a basket of peaches which was $12.
What is summer without these thirst-quenching fruits right?
According to Wikipedia, there are more than 1200 varieties of watermelon with flesh that are red, white, yellow and orange. I have no idea that there are yellow flesh. I thought all watermelons are red *wink*. Now, white and orange? Hmmm...got to find them.
Less than a month ago, the casino hired a new Pastry Chef named Joseph. A lady cook told me that Joseph is a Filipino and he did all this decoration which employees adored so much. It is not the greatest and it may be simple to some but, for me, he really got the Thumbs up.
It is so exciting to know that another Filipino joined Boomtown family with artistic skills in decorating.
