There are many things for which life is too short. Top of the list today? Peeling what feels like one metric tonne of tomatoes - *cherry* tomatoes mark you - preparatory to smooshing them (technical term) and freezing them.

Damn this glut nonsense :-((( And damn all those cookery writers who'd have you believe that all you have to do is pop them in boiling water for a couple of seconds to get them slipping out of their jackets like eager little hookers. They lie, they lie like rugs. Bah humbug :-(

I'd give up. If their skins won't come off in boiling water, they might be still too unripe. Sez the Not at All a Kitchen Queen.

I did ;-) and filed the whole idea in the file labelled 'Never Again'. They certainly looked and felt ripe, but they were *very* prudish about gettin nekkid :-(

You've really given me a giggle with these Lady Godiva tomatoes!
