They're looking good Nili, and we can tell which is which by the shape, so no worries on the order they're in. I have never cut a Shewa, but have heard that removing the rind releases the pressure that keeps those cracks from breaking, so I wouldn't do any more on that one, but I'm sure we have people who've cut them who can guide you better than I can. Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing them with us. :)
