"So all you have to do is get a tomato, and you want it to be really firm and a good shade of red. And you need a nice, sharp paring knife." "And that's something you know a thing or two about, isn't it?" Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. "Right." His smile was big and forced, but other than that he didn't skip a beat. "And you start at the bottom. You don't cut all the way through the skin, you want to leave it an anchor for the petals to start on. But cut off most of the peel on the bottom." Fourteen. Fifteen. Sixteen. Red. "And you want the strip to be about an inch thick, is that right, Shark?" "That's right. Try to keep the skin connected, all in one piece." Twenty five. Twenty six. "And you just carefully cut it off, so that you have a long strip of skin to work with. You take that, and just wrap it and shape it, like this." "That's really beautiful, isn't it? That he can just make those with his hands - and make it look so easy! We're going to see more from Shark Everett soon on the Victory Tour, so stay tuned." He forced another smile. Waved to the boys and girls at home. Remembered to breathe. |
