Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

I'm the one doing it! Figs are a real powerhouse. If you read up on them, a tremendous super food. I honestly will eat them everyday and can't say that about a daily vitamin -- don't even have "daily vitamins" in the house.

Consume milk everyday, too. Need to say that about eggs but, can't. Maybe one every couple of weeks and they're laid fresh each day. Many of my friends are happily eating them

I'm so glad you are looking after your health . It's something I should have started a long long long time ago. I absolutely enjoy normal blood test results and BMI, let alone feeling consistently awesome. Enjoy those figs and good clean food

I'll eat a few oganic sun dried figs for you

These are organic -- just not solar dried.

First batch FB bought I thought were rolled in powdered sugar. Nope that's just the natural sweetner that occurs from within the fig and the result from sun drying.

When you actually pick them you'll find the figs may have tiny white spots on them...part of the sap but can be offsetting to see Also, your hands get sticky, both sugar and sap, which is like latex - same properties. They sun dry but I cut each stem off. I cut them in half, also, before the dry. You'll see that sugar "frost" appear when drying. If you don't know, you think it's mold starting . Interesting adventure.

These two trays will dry faster than last weeks simply due to less volume in the dehydrator. But you still check & move them around on the tray as the large, riper ones take longer. I'll have a full unit later today, after I pick up those from my friend.

Did FB dry any of the peaches?

Good morning everyone! It's August already summer winding down time, consider winter isn't far away time -- the year has gone fast, it seems. Prob because I had no garden this year. Weather in spring just ruined my long anticipated planting. It's sad in a way but didn't miss the work, only the results. Fortunate to have had plenty from 2024 canning. So there's mixed emotions on garden fail.

Today they say only 77 with low 60s tonight. I could really like that set up for a couple months! Seems it may last a couple days & I'll be happy with that. Hope the oppressive temps are done, at least.

My fresh coffee is amazing, daylight is happening and roosters are singing. Looking like it will be a great day.

I wish I could say that! August brings even hotter temps here and more worry about stormy weather. Boo!

Low 70s and beautiful here. Almost like an early September day

Had dinner last night with two college buddies, then we caught a game at the local AA MLB affiliate team.

Great way to end a 60 hour work week. I needed it
