This morning #JulesGsMaking roast peppers. Why anyone would do that in the oven is beyond me, I like to char the peppers on the hob.

Listening to this hilarious romcom. Easy listening material when doing chores.

TheBookHippie I do it this way too!!!! 👩🏽‍🍳🙌🏻 5y
julesG @TheBookHippie I knew I'm not the only one who loves to play with fire. 😁 5y
TheBookHippie @julesG 🤣🤣 I don‘t understand how the oven chars it 🤷🏽‍♀️must use fire 🤣🤣it tastes better for recipes. 5y

julesG @TheBookHippie Well, leave the peppers in the oven for about an hour and they'll char. But, you are right, it tastes better "flame grilled". 5y
ravenlee I‘ve only done this in the oven - but I‘ve been using a gas stove for just the last year, so before that I didn‘t have a choice. 5y
julesG @ravenlee I'm very glad that I still have a gas stove. 5y
ravenlee I‘m very happy to have one now. I really hated my last range, a glass-top electric with an oven that often burned things at low settings. Now I‘m in trouble if we have to move again and the new house doesn‘t have a gas stove! 5y
julesG I've had one of those glass-top electric stoves. I hated the waste of energy. I've been living in this flat for 15 years. Gas stove was the only option here, still is. But my landlord has plans of getting rid of the gas lines. I'll fight him, as will 13 other families in the building. Propane gas is an option, but it would mean a safety hazard (gas bottle in the flat) and I'd need to get different burner nozzles. Might be an option for you, though 5y
julesG @ravenlee Or just one gas hob fired with a propane bottle? I have one induction glass hob. I use it for anything that needs to cook/boil on low heat for ages. 5y
julesG @ravenlee oh, forgot to tag you two comments up. 5y
ravenlee If we have to move again a gas stove would be on my list of must-haves, or as an option to replace an electric if need be. We‘re likely to stay in one place for at least another two years, so I won‘t worry about it until I have to! 5y
mrp27 Yes! My aunt used to roast chili like this for salsa. 5y

#audiobooks are my best kitchen help.

Today #JulesGsMaking some sort of mixed pickles. Also, avocado stones ready to go into soil. And there'll be fruit salad tomorrow - without the spring onions, of course.

Freespirit Looks fabulous @julesG 💕 5y

In another episode of #JulesGsMaking: my wasp/insect/tick repellent balm and I cleaned the kitchen drawers - inside and outside.

Good thing I'm home alone at the moment, I laughed out loud several times.

Today's adventure in my kitchen - I should make a # out if this, like @MrBook.

#JulesGsMaking Blueberry jam. After having blueberry pancakes for breakfast there were enough berries left for a jar of jam. Since I'm not a waster, I made jam.

Now, I'm making a wasp repellent balm: macadamia nut oil, beeswax, lavender and peppermint essential oils.

I love #audiobooks.

Cathythoughts I love those jams & jam jars ... looks delicious 5y
julesG @Cathythoughts I might have licked the spoon. Big mistake, could now eat the whole jar. 😁 5y
Balibee146 Looks delicious 😋😋 5y

Tanisha_A Loveeeee blueberry. Looks yum! 5y
Crazeedi My neighbor has brought me 2 gallon bags of blueberries, ate some and froze some, still have a bunch-so jam is my next step too!! 5y
julesG @Crazeedi It takes longer cleaning up than making jam. Strange, isn't it? 5y
emilyhaldi Yum!! I made some blueberry muffins yesterday 🤤 5y
alisiakae Yum! It‘s interesting to see bees wax in a wasp repellant. I made zucchini bread yesterday. 5y
Crazeedi @julesG of course! 😉❤ 5y
julesG @4thhouseontheleft Now that you mentioned it. 😁 I had mixed essential oils in macadamia nut oil, but my daughter can't take that with her. So, beeswax it was. The other option was Shea butter, but my daughter can't use it. 5y
