Tomato feast

I love this food,this is the reason i wait for the summer to arrive,because you need high quality tomatoes to make a good food.
Ingredients:

• tomatoes
• eggplants
• chicken
• parsley
• peppers
• salt
• a sprinkle of sugar
• rice
• onions

I like to let you decide the quantities just remember the ratio should be 6 or 7 parts tomatoes and 4 or 3 parts peppers and eggplants.
Portion the chicken, cut eggplants and peppers in quarters,cut tomatoes in cubes,cut the onions scales,boil the rice until it flowers and leave it be.
Fry the chicken then get it out,fry eggplants and peppers get them out,fry the onions and add the tomatoes,leave them to boil a bit and add the chicken,eggplants ,sugar,salt,rice and peppers.leave it to boil until it thickens ,get off heat add parsley and you got a tasty food .Serve cold or hot.

How to make wine vinegar

Vinegar is good for lots of stuff like:

• disinfecting stuff
• fungicide
• kills ticks
• improves digestion
• tenderising meat
• aiding weight loss
• lowers cholesterol
• lowering fever
• cleaning blocks from pipes
• cleaning stainless steel and grease stains
• removing chewing gum from clothes

Be careful if you have ulcer or high stomach acidity tho,use it diluted only and in small  quantities or don't use it at all

Ingredients:

• 2 glass jars but one is fine too
• wine-natural wine is preferred
• water-you need water because bacteria may not be able to digest the alcohol if it's too strong,the more water you add the less strength the vinegar will have

Fill the jar with one part wine to 1 part water or two parts wine to one part water and leave in a dark warm place for at least 3 weeks,taste occasionally.You should see a veil like pelt forming ,that is the bacteria.When happy of the acidity move in to clean jar or bottle

This is a bit older and the "veil" looks more like jelly.
