I use Nigella's Moon Blush recipe for drying tomatoes - almost the same as yours but with herbs - it's a great way of preserving a taste of summer. Hope you got your fridge/freezer sorted, always a scary moment but especially at this time of year for kitchen gardeners! Great photos, CJ, love the squash!
