Re: On tomatoes

Allan,

What's this "special method" you use for strawberries?  I use the method
you describe for all berries, including strawberries.

Side note to Allan:  Spent 3 hrs in Heathrow on the way to Hamburg last
week and 2 hrs yesterday (Friday) on the way back.  Because of the fog
at Heathrow I missed my connection and ended up having to fly to
Vancouver then home.  It added about 7 hrs to the trip and my bags spent
the night in London.  So all I've seen of the U.K. is the inside of
Heathrow Airport and what little bits I could see from the air.  But I
may have the opportunity to work in London for a week or two in the near
future.  I can say that travelling in Europe in very unlike travelling
in Asia, with which I am well-acquainted.  It's much easier to get
around in Europe if you speak only English and the odd native phrase,
but the prices are much higher!
