I don't know how tall that guy was, perhaps he's very good at bending down to pick up lettuces. But possibly alter the sequence of photos, or just stick a bit more text between 2 and 3?<br /><br />And as a first time commenter here, I'd like to say how much I love the videos: you are the best cookery writer/performer on YouTube, maybe even the whole of the Internet!<br />Gerard Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06937841664220908970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-74695961154616028052011-09-15T15:38:02.177-04:002011-09-15T15:38:02.177-04:00Who do women traditionally put masks on their face...Who do women traditionally put masks on their faces while working?
