IN: In our most recent CSA basket from Downing Hollow Farms , we found lovely slender eggplants . Once we saw that we had tomatoes that also had the same slender shape and fresh basil , we knew what to do - eggplant Napoleons . I made nice long , thin slices of eggplant with the mandolin . I made not so nice slices of tomato .
Was the produce easy to slice ?

OUT: The tomato was difficult to slice

IN: The play is about two people who meet at a club , and they discover they go to the same school . Remember that each outfit is going to be in the play , and I need help .
What will I do next after I find someone to help ?

OUT: I will explain how many outfits we need to plan .

IN: While there are other things on my mind today , it is hard for me to ignore the fact that today is September 11th and that I used to work for Cantor Fitzgerald Securities and spent June 1993 thru June 1996 working on the 32nd and 104th floors at One World Trade Center . There were plenty of times when I was at my desk at 8:47 AM and never did we ever expect to have a plane come thru the windows . I still have a hard time thinking about the people , their families and everyone who went to work on 9/11/01 just like any other regular day in their life , not knowing how everything would change , in some cases forever , afterwards .
What event is the narrator referring to for most of the passage ?

OUT:
a terrorist attack
