They came from the fridge.

I did chop them in my (regular sized) food-processor/chopper, which I will say does a more lousy job than my mini food-processor (because it doesn't chop everything evenly, and some of the larger pieces didn't get chopped, whereas the earlier inserted stuff is almost pureed, though with the sauce it didn't matter much, my mini f-p chops much more evenly. By and large though it's barely worth using the large f-p, because the clean up is a big hassle).
