Kent called it Devil Tomato. I called it Wilbur.
See? Just put another little deformed tomato--notice the "pony tail"--on top and you have a cute little thing. Wilbur was "some tomato".
What can I say? We Whites, E.B. and me, like to save farm products from their natural fate.
Unfortunately, while my little Wilbur/devil tomato was saved from the sauce, the kids called dibs on eating its "arms" seconds after I took these photos. I didn't even get to put a little shirt on it. Sadly, s/he (or it?) is no longer with us. But my, homegrown tomatoes sure taste good!

I'm pretty sure you need to share your spaghetti sauce recipe now. Do you have a pressure cooker or how do you preserve it?
Yep, pressure cooker. I love that thing. Tomorrow I'm canning beets in it.
I'll post the recipe on the Cookbook Collaboration blog when I have a few spare minutes.
Gotta say... something bizarre about personifying a tomato... And if you're interested in a great pickled beet recipe, let me know.
I'm so jealous! Out of four tomato plants, I have four tiny green tomatoes, and they've been tiny and green for weeks. I don't know what the problem is. And my beet leaves were looking really good, so I decided to dig a couple up, but that's all there was. No beets. Just good-looking leaves. Sigh...but I have zucchini like nobody's business.
Freaky tomatoes are great! We are beginning to enjoy a harvest; however we don't have too many, so we will just eat them.
Looks like a red version of the marshmallow guy from Ghostbusters.
