The Pear Wars.Category: eating in
(e:Paul) challenged me to a pear war with the warrior ants and the swarm of bees in (e:PMT)'s garden. It was not a pretty sight.
There were fallen pears all over the place being viciously attacked by HUGE crazy ants, bees that possibly had a nasty sting and quite horrendous-looking fat blackish worms that looked as if they had crept slowly out of the scarier zombie movie scene. I think I accidentally brushed my hand on one. UGH. Maybe I should consider amputating it now.
For a while I debated kicking the bee-infested pears around to dislodge and rescue the pears but I was really worried about painful repercussions. Wisdom prevailed and I left them alone. But I did blow the ants off many a fallen fruit and got quite a haul of awesome pears.
(e:matthew) walked in on my grand-bug-war-for-pear-rescue halfway through and threw in some tomatoes into the mix. I know I am totally overdosing on tomatoes today but these mini ones were TOO delicious not to eat as soon as I got back! Thanks so much, (e:matthew)!
And now the quintessential dilemma. What does one do with 20kg of pears?
I am thinking slow roasted red pepper/tomato-pear-basil-soup spiked with red chillies and garlic...

Sure anything left on the grass that the meat eating tortoise doesn't find will break down and do the yard good... That being said so many juices use either pear/apples as a base... It makes sense since they are a weaker taste and cheaper then say cranberry if not a bottle would be like $12.... So even though I don't like pears and don't get juice like how I should I'm happy that there are pears....

I would let the green ones ripen more, or cook them in a little sugar. The yellow ones should be delicious.
I just kept making pear sauce and canned pears last year. I have so many still in jars. It makes like 500 pears every year. I find the ones the bees like to eat are generally the tastiest ones. The little black worm things are slugs. You can just brush them off, they don't do inside. Unlike the ants and bees. Since the pears fell and my little mini hiroshima, we have had no ants in the house.

Tomatoes!!Category: eating in
I realized that I had far too many tomatoes on my table to make it fungus-free through the week and hit upon a really easy way to use them up.
Free-spirited roasting:
Followed by a rough chop and toss with lentils, garlic, kale, basil, red peppers and buckwheat high fibre spaghetti.
Simply delicious!

I say you roast ALL your left over tomatoes this time, puree and freeze them instead of canning. They are much quicker, efficient and tastier way to use the tomatoes up. You will get through them in no time as opposed to the canned ones.

It has a ton of carbs in it. The spaghetti and lentils are balancing out the veggies. It made me sleepy!

That looks good but I would have to mix in some more carbs like rice.

Shower soapCategory: chemicals
Hmm. more chemicals that I don't know about in my shower soap:
Probably okay
The list is the scariest because I really have no idea about some of these.
- Sodium laureth sulfate
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Polyquarternium-7
- Glycol Stearate
- Decyl Glucoside
- Hydroxypropyl
- Methylcellulose
- Sodium PCA
- tetrasodium edta ( this is a chelating agent, it prevents blood from clotting. I guess it must be preventing clumping here. but what effect does it have on the skin? how potent is this?)
- triethanolamine
- methylchloroisothiazolinone
- methylisothiazolinone
Probably okay
- Water (Well of course)
- Sodium Chloride (ditto for this)
- Butyrospermium Parkii (Shea Butter)
- Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5)
- fragrance
- citric acid
The list is the scariest because I really have no idea about some of these.

You can totally buy bath stuff with very few ingredients or make your own.
