When I first made...Ah yes, the Slow Roasted Tomato. When I first made it I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. I just need more freezer space - I'm running out of room. But I like the idea of not having to peel every single tomato around this place. It's a bit exhausting.<br /><br />As for getting henry to purr and show hearts: I think when we click on the brush we have to click once it's on him, then he will respond. I want you all to know that I spent a good 20 minutes playing - err, I mean experimenting with him today. All in the name of Science.sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005397694258169964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-44831360452821604152009-09-25T12:02:15.571-07:002009-09-25T12:02:15.571-07:00I just do the basics.

Slow roasted tomatoes, thawed and blended with some water make the BEST tomato sauce ever) and I make salsa.

I couldn't be bothered to peel or seed them :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-27138546333859151782009-09-23T17:19:43.822-07:002009-09-23T17:19:43.822-07:00Heather, it's weirdly addictive, isn't it?...Heather, it's weirdly addictive, isn't it?

And, furthermore...I enjoyed it immensely. <br /><br />The things I'll do to avoid getting started on dinner. ;-)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343988569221606506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-89969033144607395202009-09-23T09:18:17.335-07:002009-09-23T09:18:17.335-07:00A book, I tell you!

Richard thought I was almost insane, but I couldn't stomach the thought of all that peeling for naught.<br /><br />I did see that show - he really impresses me, he's so versatile. And the stories he has to tell about writing Gosford Park are amazing.<br /><br />Nothing quite so exciting with the garlic and potatoes: I'm just letting them sit in the sun to toughen up a bit before storing them. Drying them out. I've heard this is what one must do with potatoes before storage.<br /><br />The guinea pig is a bit of a tribute to our now deceased guinea pig. We saw it on someone else's blog (only they had a hedgehog named Milligan). If you click on "more" you get access to a brush and some food, which makes him respond, and if you click ON henry he popcorns. The twins are nuts about him and think this is the height of amazingness. Now they want blogs - not to write but to get animated animal sidebars...sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005397694258169964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-70130759956628470382009-09-23T06:12:13.825-07:002009-09-23T06:12:13.825-07:00I'm glad to hear you are on the mend, Shelia. ...I'm glad to hear you are on the mend, Shelia. No fun to be under the weather during your busy harvest time. So happy you were able to rescue your tomatoes too, that would have been heartbreaking to have them all go to waste. <br /><br />Have you seen Julian Fellowes in Monarch of the Glen? I love that series and he is such a fun part of it.<br /><br />I noticed this bit in your post - "luminous dishes of drying garlic and potatoes". Are you drying slices of potato and garlic? Sort of making your own dried potato mix or ? Would you be willing to explain more in case it is something I want to try? ;-)<br /><br />Also, I noticed, quite by accident, that your little adopted sidebar guinea pig follows my mouse pointer around in a most charming (and somewhat disconcerting) way. Weird. ;-)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343988569221606506noreply@blogger.com
