But what was killing me, I mean, absolutely killing me was no tomatoes.

I make salsa and purchase salsa from the local Mexican marts. Whether it's homemade pico, chipotle or molcajete salsa, I put it on nearly everything, from scrambled eggs to, of course, tacos, burritos, grilled fish, in black beans & rice and LOVE chips and salsa. I also put grape tomatoes in my salads and tomatoes on the occasional deli or chicken sandwich and burgers. Cholula on a breakfast burrito is a must, otherwise, why eat a breakfast burrito?

No tomatoes was the most difficult thing I've ever had to stop. Fortunately (or unfortunately), none of the above were causing the issue so after six months, it was business as usual.

Thankfully.

Well that's ****ing weird.
