Leigh was into health food. She had an overabundance of tomatoes this year and decided to make and freeze some soup.
Of course, the thing she most disliked about making tomato soup was skinning the tomatoes, and removing the seeds. Seeds in tomato soup! Never! All the recipes said to take them out, and she did. What a task!
And so to make some healthy bread. Now where did she put that carton of seeds?

Leigh sounds ever so slightly malleable …… and just a tad dim …….

Nearly every recipe involving cooked tomatoes say to blanche and skin them. I always ignore it. I simply can’t see what’s wrong with a tomato skin.

I’m with you Bruce. I never take that stuff out. It’s all tomato and it’s all good!

I planted over 70 tomato plants to annoy the heck out of the landlord who can’t stand them! Then I had a terrible time trying to use them up and give them away!

Yum. They look good. Did you make sauce? Roast them? Gobble them in salads?

I made 17 different kinds of preserve – from chutneys to Indian sauce to chilli sauce to salsa to everything! Even made green tomato pickles – which are turning out to be my favourite!

If Leigh is a health nut, she most likely has a blender of one sort or another. Cook the soup WITH skins and seeds, then purée with a blender before adding cream or whatever. As Pauline says, Leigh may be a tad dim.
Looking at your crop, I have tomato envy.

Tomato envy sounds a little like a blight that could spread through the entire crop. I find that skin disappears in the blender (and so do the tomato skins!)

People can be too fussy about peeling things! I love eating the pumpkin skin (but here in New Zealand we eat pumpkin as a staple vegetable!)

When The Culinary Queen first looked into my larder she was aghast at the varieties of vinegar therein. Well my chosen recipes all contained different ones, and I seldom finished a bottle. And I had to start with a precise recipe. Where are all my vinegars now?

Well – a goodly number of your vinegars are possibly sitting at the back of my cupboard wondering why they were used just the once and left to wilt…
