Default What to do with all this produce

Went into the store fora couple of things that were on sale, but the
bright clean colors on the quick sale rack drew me over there as well.
They had great big red peppers, 7 for 2.58 (wrapped together),
tomatoes, and strawberries for 1.29 each. The other stuff didn't look
too hot.

The tomatoes have been roasted and are cooling now, to be joyfully
consumed.

Two of the peppers were salad quality. The rest I roasted, peeled and
have in storage, and have two questions:

1: How do you get the seeds separated from the flesh? The stem took
out most of them, but there are some still in there, and I know the
ones you buy in the store don't have that.

2: Some suggestions on what to do with those lovely, tasty roasted red
peppers and their juice?

The strawberries were a disappointment. I looked all over the box,
and they didn't look bad atall. No smushed or fuzzy ones. Took off
the wrapper that they put on all the quicksale produce, and several of
them were fuzzy, so I had to sort through the whole pound and cut out
the bad parts. Sprinkled them with ginger powder and vanilla sugar.
They'll go good with my morning oatmeal.

I can't complain too loudly, not after the peppers and tomatoes turned
out to be in such good condition.
