    Terry catching stray peeks from above and Honey B going her own way!
    “Gushers” were after my time, but I feel like tomatoes are gushers for chimps! I knew Missy wasn’t going to be dawdling with her tomatoes. In her mind, if she goes through them quickly, then she can ask for more!

    Yet another elucidating video from CSNW, with instructions from experts. I feel the same way about eating (Washington state) cherries, which are so delicious I don’t want to eat them too fast, let alone without displaying gratitude and due reverence.

    Of course, given Missy’s inability to persuade Her Majesty to share her tomatoes the other day, sometimes speed eating techniques must be employed.

    What a delicious blog today. And the sounds of each one enjoying their tomatoes their own way made it even better. Thanks.

    The boys have a very similar tomato technique! Terry had to eat his first tomato a little quicker than he may have desired, he had to manage his second tomato on the other side of the mesh. Well done!! No skins for HoneyB?! Amazing how she ended up with one piece of continuous skin!

    I love tomatoes too but I prefer to just bite and swallow, no playing with them!
    It is always fun to watch them though.

    I had no idea I was eating tomataoes incorrectly. I just cut them up and eat them or pop the small ones in my mouth. I certainly learned a thing or two from Cy. Thank you Cy!!!. I will now savor every bite!!!
