Whatever do you mean?? You baked instead of deep frying.......... That's healthy!! ;)

No way $10 bucks a bag?? don't go down the vitamin isle then,because my boyfriend went and paid $13.99 for what I would call a large vitamin bottle that was not even filled to the neck of the bottle...Jesus,do you order it by the bag,or get it in your area that way?Quote:

You have to buy four bags, but for $31.49, which is a way better deal than what I'm paying. I might have to start doing that instead. ;)
I actually took some seeds and broadcast them across a section of my back yard. I got a lot of plants, but they did not bloom, and thus, did not make seed.
There is a native variety (Salvia columbariae) here, but you almost never see it. I saw some at a local community college, in the landscaping, and I'm curious where they got the plants.

Here is the bottle that I was able to find herehttp://pics.drugstore.com/prodimg/412898/220.jpg ad says 16.99 so I was wrong better last forever for that price,eh?
I don't have a photo but for supper I made some green beans and bacon. I fried up some bacon and then fried some parboiled green beans in a small bit of the grease. Then crumbled up some bacon and mixed it all together. Of course the beans were kentucky pole beans.
I dried banana,strawberry and peach slices and whole blueberries. And made five pints of sour kraut (1 head of cabbage) that will be ready in 2 weeks.
Now, that's some good eatin'!Quote:

Nell - Did the blueberries do okay? I've not done them whole and was wondering how they came out.
Rick, so far, so good on the blueberries. They take longer to dry,8-10 hours, and then I put them in ziplock vacuum seal bags :http://www.walmart.com/ip/12443047?w...110150&veh=sem. I have done this several times over the summer and so far I have had no spoilage, I open a bag when I make refrigerator oatmeal,and toss a few in one of the servings, they re hydrate over nite along with the oatmeal,not bad I always reseal the bag too. Gonna have to leave a bag alone for a while and see if they last for a few monthsQuote:

homemade teriyaki marinated chicken mushrooms with garden fresh carrots and peppers. Tossed with rice noodles, soy sauce, and sesame oil.

Sweet Potato Chips
http://i348.photobucket.com/albums/q...psa807ec86.jpg
I sliced these with my food processor. I took 2 large sweet potatoes and quartered them length wise. I sliced them at about 1/8 inch. I spread them out on a cookie sheet (2 actually) and drizzled them with Extra Virgin Olive Oil making sure all of them were coated. Then I lightly sprinkled them with sea salt.
I dried them at 145° F for 9 hours. They won't be as crunchy as regular potato chips. They are a bit more chewy but pretty close and pretty tasty. Way more healthy and not greasy.
EDIT: I had to quarter them so they would fit in the throat of the food processor. If you have a food mandolin (I don't) then you don't have to quarter them.
I might have to try that Rick.
Hey! Keepa you hands off. Get your own.
I just can not wrap my head around eating sweet potatoes as fries or chips,it just does not sound good to me at all!Quote:

Nell, I was actually going to dehydrate these as fries and that kind of morphed into chips. I actually love the fried sweet potato fries. They are sooooo good. But I'll take these as a close second.
I made supper from the allotment harvest. Corn on the cob, squash cornmeal fritters and spicy tomato sauce. Followed by Blackberry crumble for dessert. I was going to take a pic, but my greed got the better of me.:blushing:
Venison backstrap.
dry rubbed with garlic powder, onion powder and set in fridge overnight.
sliced into medallions and seared on all sides. Add water to pan drippings to loosen up all those flavor bits and set meat and broth in slow cooker for 4-5 hours.
Love it that way.
Dall Sheep tenderloin, fried in bacon grease and covered in cream of mushroom soup.
Jellied orange peel and dehydrated oranges.
Ya know..... Nearly two thousand replies and one hundred pages on this thread. I know it isn't really survival related, but does anyone else think this one might deserve a sticky?
Consider it stuck. Guess I never thought to do it before because it was always at or near the top.
Raisins and banana chips. Mmmmmm.
My youngest grandson tried a dehydrated banana chip yesterday,after about 5 minutes, he was over it,LOLQuote:

Cool Crash! thanks! Yup, makes sense. Why bother when it's easy to find already.
Ordered out pizza. Hard core.
I had some dried peppers and garlic, and mint in the garden so I made harissa.

Which I used on these drumsticks:

Served with a lemony, garlicky chickpea, cucumber, and tomato salad, with mint, basil, and feta. Also, black rice. Couscous would have been more appropriate, but I had the rice leftover.
I may be wrong on this but I think the Quality Control and Food Safety specialist (me) have been overlooked on some of the meals. We'll forgive you but you have to start following the rules. Two samples to me and one sample each to quality control. That looks yummy! This would be a good one to start with.

They were spectacular. There is NOTHING in the world better than fresh Atlantic Striped Bass.

Mrs. Crash is a little under the weather so I mad some chicken soup.
Sauteed onions and celery, bold chicken stock, chicken, barley, carrots, peas, lima beans, spinach, corn, fusilli, almond milk.
http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps2eab3beb.jpg
What the **** is almond milk and where is the dairy? Can you even milk an almond?
EDIT: Wow, I guess you can even make it at home. Now I'm intrigued. We all know how dangerous that is.

This is my kind of thread. I'm about to sit down to some Chicken Paprikash from a recipe that my great grandma wrote. 6 chicken thighs, a large onion, clove of garlic, some chicken broth, tomato paste and a big helping of paprika.
