I'm jealous of those heirloom tomatoes, Skypup. They look great. And I want to come over to KT's for dinner pretty soon. I'm getting hungry just looking.

I've had a few of those in the mezcal aren't they a larvae of some sort?I didn't look to close but I know they don't make you hallucinate as sometimes reported. When we go climbing Julie I'll pick up a bottle of mezcal and save the worm for ya!
