I have a few unfinished projects on the go at the moment and really need to finish them but keep coming across a lot of recipes that I want to try especially as we have a glut of vegetables and fruit that I really need to use up rather than have them go to waste. Unfortunately though, my 'To Do' list is getting a tad too long and I am starting to wonder if I will get any of my UFOs (unfinished projects) actually completed!
....but our old tamarillo tree has died since then. However, a few weeks ago I discovered another one so now we have....
.... more fruit to pick.
I thought I would make Indian Spiced Tamarillo Chutney this time for a change. Seeing as the tamarillos were picked a couple of days ago this has to be done sooner rather than later. Sigh!
Then yesterday on the Down to Earth Forums one of the members was asking for Sweet Chilli Sauce recipes and ....
....seeing as we have LOTS of chillies waiting to be picked there is another project to add to my
'To Do' list.
The last batch of soap I made is now ready for use which means that another batch needs to be made and I currently have goat's milk in the freezer ready for my first experiment with making goat's milk soap. I have read so many recipes with some adding the lye to the mushy goat's milk and others adding the milk at trace that I am a little confused but will probably end up adding the lye to the milk. Apparently the lye can make the milk heat up and burn so a lot of soap makers seem to freeze the milk beforehand to keep the mixture cooler. I will let you know how it goes if anyone is interested.
So, as you can see, the list just keeps getting longer and longer. Do you have the same problem?
Perhaps when it is all done then I can just sit down, have a cuppa, look at the flowers and enjoy their beauty!
