Do not, repeat, do not, attempt anything as foolhardy as dumping a flat of cherry tomatoes in your cupholder and speeding down the road. In fact, do not attempt to consume any tomatoes until you have purchased the proper equipment. Before any summer meal, make sure you have a Tomato Slicer, a Mozzarella Slicer, and a Kernel Cutter. Do not attempt to use your Tomato Slicer as a Mozzarella Slicer -- serious injury or death may result. Do not attempt to remove kernels of corn directly from the cob with your teeth -- serious injury or death may result. Do not, under any circumstances, consider purchasing a sharp knife from another vendor, and using this implement to slice tomatoes or mozzarella.*
*More on sharp knives, not to mention the Cod's very own pigskin preview, next week.
