					<description><![CDATA[Jackie, it&#039;s not a typo, I did actually mean &quot;Chief of Stuff&quot;... it&#039;s an old marketmanila reference that stems from the original coining of the term &quot;Chief of Stuff&quot; with reference to John Kerry&#039;s assistant during his Presidential campaign who later became Barrack Obama&#039;s assistant as well.  See article &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/28/us/part-butler-and-part-buddy-aide-keeps-kerry-running.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/07/us/challenging-the-president-but-only-on-the-golf-course.html?_r=0&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.  My Chief of Stuff has been with us for twenty years and with my wife&#039;s family for several more years before that... :)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@MM: you are most Welcome. 

@Kasseopeia: Sorry about that, our produce has been in very short supply for a couple of months now. Typical of this time of the year, add to that some delays in turning the greenhouses around. For future reference the sales lady usually takes a day off on Tuesdays.
Just a little bit more on bruising and wastage in the video. As previously mentioned these tomatoes are bred to be very fleshy and do not bruise easily, even when fully ripened. On the Tomatoes that were left behind, they can be seen as additional Organic Matter for the next crop when it is slowed over during land preparation. But in reality, depending where you are in the World, and clearly this is in a part of the World where wages are high, hence the machinery. It would just cost too much to have people going around picking the fruit that falls to the ground.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Nacho, cool, I have totally learned something today.  I would have no idea what a determinate or indeterminate tomato would have been before your comment.  It&#039;s a very cool factoid to have the next time I am at the dinner table and we serve something with tomatoes... hahaha. But seriously, thanks.]]></description>
