kitchen creations

a strong, biting wind made the garden an unpleasant place to be today so the kitchen became the place of activity. True sun dried tomatoes are a difficult thing to achieve in Scotland even in summer, but with the aid of a food dehydrator I'm hoping for success! Just halved baby plum tomatoes, a sprinkling of oregano and into the dehydrator for around 8 hours.
Some tomato seeds were sown this week that I have been assured will crop outdoors here, so later in the year I may even be able to dry some which have been harvested from the herb garden. It would be good to be able to store some for use in winter.
