Good morning, porch friends! I've been missing this thread on BYC, and had to come search you out, here. I see there are some changes. Will have to do better about keeping up ♡

Raw eggs that have been freeze dried, then reconstituted, are just the same. They are excellent ~ scrambled, in an omelet or in recipes. Cooked eggs, freeze dried - I couldn't say. However - there is a great You-Tube channel that does all kinds of testing that you might enjoy. It's called...

Actually, freeze drying uses cold and heat plus vacuuming to remove moisture. Then the product needs to be packaged in a specific way to ensure no moisture returns, in order for it to be shelf stable. There are certain foods (just like dehydrating) that do not perform well, freeze dried. But...

Aww, sorry Grandma! Been a crazy-busy summer. But, in a good way. Lots and lots of home projects going on. I'll try to be better about checking in. 😚❤

For some reason I can't get onto TEG. Although, it's been a while. I'll try again 🤞

I'm sure there is ahelpful thread specifically on composting for beginners - but, I'm not finding it. We currently have compost bins that are stationary. I'm a woman who's getting up in years - so need to keep it as simple as possible. I can't begin to turn that compost. I've been thinking of...

Yum!

Same, here. Maybe we're neighbors. No big plans, today. Hoping to have a couple of our sons here tonight, for Euchre

Thank you!

Are you talking about my tomatoes? No, I haven't grown them, before. We typically grow whatever the local greenhouse offers. I wanted something different. I've only ever started my own seedlings, once before. So... 🤞

Done!

Just about to pull 4 trays of eggs out of the freeze dryer. That's 60 eggs 😋

I transplanted my tomato seedling to larger pots, today. These were started in the Aero garden, several weeks ago - then moved into cells (because that's all I had at the time), and now into these, dollar store pots. They measure 4.5" across. I have 7 more tomato seedlings started in the Aero...

Wow! You've got quite the green thumb!

I had to cut my Zevia out of my diet, too 😢

:hugsI think we both need a hug

👋 Although I've done water-bath canning, I'm new to pressure canning. We have always had a garden - but I'm looking to grow new varieties that we haven't tried, before. Oh - and I have a greenhouse on the way. I'm excited about that! I'll have to stock up on sugar. Thanks for the update on that

Yes, I feel  just this way. My parents were both the youngest, and final members of their families to pass. They had to experience loss, over and over. I happen to be the youngest of our entire, extended family. But, we are a tight-knit family. Very blessed. Thank you all for your kind words. ♡...

Thank you ♡

Zucchini is a very wet vegetable. I'll give this some thought. Because - they really are delicious
