    The Freeze-Drying Thread

    I did buy it. And I've been drying veggies mostly. I've yet to try any protein; not interested in candy; Oh I did some fruit. Those took a long time!! Most has been going into mylar bags and some into canning jars. Good thing my son pays the electric bill!!:lol:

    What did you do in your garden today?

    I turned off the water for all beds. I need to rip them up. I did buy some cover crop seeds from Territorial Seeds. I'm hoping that they add substance to my raised beds.

    Food service mayo is Heavy Duty. Its whipped more, maybe called emulsified more. Heavier, denser. We always used it in my various Food Service jobs.

    @Hinotori We were shocked it got up to 99 here. Weather all said it would be 90. 105 is brutal!!

    Did you ever get any satisfaction from the original installer company? They sure were stingy on the gravel overlay.

    For @Mini Horses Bet you didn’t know that a goat burps one to four times a minute! How about humans? One unscientific study found they burp on average about 30 times a day. So, moral of the story: Don’t get into a burping contest with a goat!

    I'm cooking a rabbit right now. It was gifted to me. DD sent me an authentic recipe from the other side of the world. I'll let you know how it tastes. Never had rabbit.

    I'm sad. I'm disgusted. I'm hating politics right now. I saw the up close video. It was horrible.

    Privacy GONE :( - Looking For Trees To Hide The View

    I love podocarpus. I was able to trim, hedge and keep them alive in San Jose for years and years! In fact the one at my first home there from 1989, is still going strong.

    What's for dinner?

    I had thawed four chicken thighs and so son put them on the BBQ. They were labeled as from Dec 22, and I'm sure that I'll be really really sad when all that chicken from '22 to '24 gets used up. Chicken is getting expensive, so I'm glad I hoarded it back when it was under a dollar per lb.

    Agreed FJ. I used to buy No Roll alot for the restaurant chain Stuart Anderson's Black Angus. Those were trending up to Upper Choice, as we called it back in the 80's.
