Cooking Fresh Food - breaking the jar/can/bottle habit...

[Sair]

Thanks BG, there is no Big W in Horsham but if my MIL heads to Ballarat I might get her to pick some up if I don't find anything at Growmasters.

Now potato I can grow from potato peels that have eyes on them correct? I need to track down garlic as well. I just looked in the fridge for our stash but I couldn't find it. Not sure I want 4 month old garlic anyway

I am doing the bad thing and making spaghetti with a jar tonight I have added all fresh veggies though. I also have the argument that it is in my cupboard and I need to use it up

ETA BG I would make a soup but I don't know how. I had the best baked broccoli soup while in Canada and I could eat it every day.

LMS, for seeds try the digger's club or eden seeds (use google and they will be at the top). They both sell heirloom varieties which are far more practical in the home garden than the modern varieties.

Noice Bear! You are doing all our work for us Love it!

LMS.... wanna pumpkin pie recipe :batting eyelids: ? Somewhere else... Its posted in the recipe section somewhere...

Soups are dead easy. I just did a huge soup tonight. Check out the Slow Cooker recipe section.

My rule for soups:

Good quality chicken stock, preferable home made but I know thats not always available. When ever I make a soup with chicken or bacon as the stock or the background flavour, I always ALWAYS chuck a bone in. It gives everything a round flavour. Yum!

Play with flavours, asian soups are fun, mexican soups are yum, chicken noodle/rice is wonderful this time of year
