I wondered what to do with them as husband refuses to eat either if in recognizable form. After seeing your post, I chunked them into a roasting pan along with green peppers, onion, red and yellow tomatoes. For seasoning: olive oil, salt, freshly ground pepper, fresh purple basil, parsley and garlic. I am enjoying the resulting blend of flavors served over rice.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-68094171281103658172017-09-09T01:05:20.518+01:002017-09-09T01:05:20.518+01:00Satisfying and exhausting at the same time!

I rarely grow enough to preserve anything, we tend to eat it all fresh as it comes out of the garden or swap with neighbours and friends.

I have never looked at making soap to be honest, I suppose its not always about whats cheapest its what it has in it, I personally can't use cheap soap anymore as my skin just dries right out, after hitting the menopause it has made it worse so I have to be careful what I use, would be very interested to here a bit more about the soap making if you can find the time one day. xSimple Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00884864661226371141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-76601157932513870582017-09-07T18:36:01.365+01:002017-09-07T18:36:01.365+01:00The "bloody exhausting" part is why ther...The "bloody exhausting" part is why there is no homemade sauce or soap in our house!
