If you think that tomatoes only lose a "little bit" of flavor when you refrigerate them, you've obviously never tasted good tomatoes -- my husband thought he didn't like tomatoes at all until I introduced him to ripe ones. Try reading the book "Tomatoland: How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed Our Most Alluring Fruit" for more information.

Now, if you buy fresh tomatoes at a local farmer's market when they're in season, or grow them yourself, you'll never want to put them in the fridge, because that will ruin their flavor. If you already have those generic storebought tomatoes, you might as well store them in the fridge, it's not going to make them much worse than they already are.

I think if the contents of your cabinets change often enough for you to need to write them out in chalk, you've got problems. This is where I put the bowls when I moved in, and that remains where I put the bowls until I move to a new place. I'm not going to need to label my cupboards for more than a week or so before learning where everything is and no longer needing labels.

It might be fun for people who like to draw random doodles in chalk. Especially if they have neon colored chalk. That's gotta be messy, though. I probably wouldn't bother drawing anything because it just means I've gotta clean it up later, and all of the chalk dust is going to fall right onto my clean dishes drying by the sink.
