I have lots of pretty red ones which are not hot at all. However I just had a quick bite off the end of a green one from a different plant. Eyes watering, half a pint of milk, lips numb! Wow!
Random
There is some random news about this weekend. A football match between Fleetwood Town and Burton Albion was stopped due to apples being thrown over the stand onto the pitch!
And then there a growing numbers of reports of attacks by a pod of Orca Whales on yachts. They have disabled a couple. Come on you orca’s!! I read once about an incident in New Zealand. Geese mate for life. A guy went out shooting and shot one, the other of the pair flew straight at him and killed him! Geese fly very fast – 50+kmph.
Pizza in oven,Siri is doing the timing. I KNOW she is not real, but she has such a positive voice, and I love the Irishness! She tells some fairly bad jokes and her weather forecast is not that great, but she is nice to Alexa!
STRAWBERRY LEATHERS
Hull the strawberries – best done with nice music as it is boring! Liquidise – stew with lemon juice, an apple or two and some desiccated coconut or coconut flour (to thicken up the liquid). Heat to reduce liquid content and then heat for 6/8 hours at about 130C. 2kg of strawberries, 1 lemon, 4 apples = 6 leathers 30cm x 30cm.

COOKIE TIME!
Student cooking and cookies.
Talking to students off to uni there is a general fear of cooking. Which is a shame given the expense of takeaways, and the general poor quality of the food. Soups and stir fry’s are quick easy and nutritious and cheap. Roast chicken, or roast anything is easy, just a matter of timing. http://www.jamieoliver.com/videos/jamie-s-perfect-roast-potatoes/
