Treaty Weekend
I made treats this weekend for my brother, who just turned 29 (for the first and last time). They will be shipped over to La-La land shortly, but in the meantime I'll hold off on describing them because I know he reads this blog. Hehe.
Other cooking this weekend included my new fascination: dehydrating food. I have had a dehydrator for, oh, about 10 YEARS, and finally I'm seeing how it can be used to rescue nearly-dead produce for future use. So far, I've used it to shrinky-dink cremini mushrooms, banana slices, and zucchini. I'm venturing into fruit leathers shortly, and possibly into leafy greens like chard and spinach (after being blanched). The main benefit is going to be camping trips, regarding which I'm tentatively planning a BIG ONE this summer, and being able to have along with me a special soup mix, or trail snacks, etc. Jerky won't be too far off in the future, as well.
I also started a batch of borscht (by steaming the beets), which is criminal that I've not had before since I love beets, and will be completing that tonight or tomorrow.
Photos of some of the weekend projects will be forthcoming, so just hang on.... *grin*.
