Still alive! Man, the number of times I've had to write those words... Anyway, I have been writing, but only self-indulgent id-fic because all my energy is going into working out how to preserve ten metric tonnes of tomatoes and apples - yes, the self-evident answer to this is chutney, which uses both tomatoes and apples, but I NEVER WANT TO MAKE CHUTNEY AGAIN. It was traumatic, okay?

Possible next project: homemade tomato sauce, but that recipe looks suspiciously like pureed chutney, and I really ought to know better, right? On the other hand, it can't exactly go worse. /jinx

On a more successful note, I used the leftover apple pulp from apple tea jelly to make an apple crumble! How frugal, how economical, how domestic~! I amaze myself.
