But to be honest I was pretty much just going to do that, wash off the goop then put them somewhere warm and airy on kitchen paper. Then if that did'nt really work just roast them and see

Probly a very a daft question with a blindingly obvious answer but how do you dry squash/pumpkin seeds? I eat a bloody ton of the stuff a week, specially as it's two huge ones for a quid in the green grocers atm, and it always seems daft to throw away the seeds when they are so expensive in the shops.

Ages ago I found a bag of Fuller's Earth in my mums bathroom and made some facemasks out of it which worked a treat to clear my gross skin. I tried buying some more but I cant for the life of me find it anywhere :( My mum said she used to buy it in a chemists which has now shut and she has'nt seen i...

An other option would be to find some-one with a bit of garden that you could 'rent' for a share of the crop. My elderly neighbour was delighted with this arrangement. Our deal was I mowed her lawn & weeded her front gardden for a biggish area at the back to grow veg. MW I would love to be able...

I shall report on how it goes :thum...

Righty ho, I have wanted to grow veg for ages but currently I live in a 5th floor flat in the center of Liverpool with no outdoor space bar three pidgeon-spike adorned window sills, which I would be a bit parnoid about putting anything on incase it fell off and killed someone :pale: I have succesful...

Try pickling them, keeps for ages and you can use them in both cooking and eat them raw on salads and such. Great in couscous salad or in a kebab. My dad tends to mince them up really fine and feeze them in icecube trays for cooking size portions, does it with ginger and garlic too. but i guess you ...

dunno about dickey lewis but im freezing me bits off, weather well wintery but I swore I would'nt put the heating on

Well, not in any way soup but a great way to use lentils: Lentil Loaf! Its proper easy, filling and cheap. Being veggie I usually have it as Sunday roast then eat it for the next few days in sandwiches, its amazing cold with onion or chilli chuney :icon_smile: dunno about quanities because I learnt ...
