Cut around the stem in a circle, and dig out the stem with a spoon. You can also use a tomato corer. However thick you slice the tomato is how thick your dice will be. Wider slices will give you a chunkier dice while thinner slices will give you delicate cubes. Continue cutting until the entire tomato is sliced. You will be cutting these all at the same time. If you have very thin slices, you may be able to stack a few more. You might have 2 or 3 stacks when you are done. Make sure you cut through all of the tomatoes in the stack. It does not matter which direction you start in, as long as you cut all of the strips in the same direction. Cut into the strips at a 90 degree angle to create diced tomatoes. Continue until all of the strips in the stack have been completely diced. Once you are done with one stack, move on to the others. When you have finished dicing the tomatoes, you can add them to your recipe.

Summary: Remove the stem and core with a paring knife. Slice the tomato. Stack 2 or 3 slices at a time. Cut the stack into strips with a serrated knife. Chop up the strips. Repeat with the rest of the stacks.

A stage name can help you accomplish a number of things, which all can influence how you decide on your name.   Branding: A stage name can help you brand your performance persona, giving you a separate identity to develop as a brand.  Separation of personal and professional life: A stage name will be a very public name, possibly a household name. While some people might still know your real name, keeping your real name separate from your stage name can afford you some level of privacy.  Differentiation: If your real name is very common, a stage name can help you stand out and be more memorable.  Prejudice considerations: Some people have used stage names in the past in order to decrease immediate reactions of racism, anti-Semitism or other forms of prejudice. Luckily, this is less often the case today. Similarly, some women may have avoided a hyphenated name because it might indicate they’re married, which unfortunately some consider to be detrimental to their careers.

Whatever your stage name, people will likely want to know how you decided to call yourself that. If it’s an uninteresting story, then perhaps think about making up a more exciting story to go with your name. Look online and in name books to learn the meaning of the name you’ve chosen. Learn the history of the name. Does the name’s meaning and history reflect what you want it to mean? Think about how people can find your name through search engines like Google. If you use very common words, especially single words like Trouble or Heart, it may be hard for fans to find you online. There can be the appeal of choosing a name that reflects the moment, where you might follow a fad. Also consider where you want to be in 10 or 20 years. Does your stage name suit an older performer just as well as a younger one?  Child performers should consider how their names will grow with them as they get older.
