Last night I began my new favorite pastime....dehydrating. I am the proud owner of "The Excalibur". Five trays of absolute drying POWER!
I made some "Gravel" which is dried ground beef. Also made some dried zucchini, bell peppers, peaches, apples, and fruit leather. Tonight I am making more backpack appropriate meals...most of my recipes come from the wonderful book "Lipsmackin' Backpacking by Christine Conners. Super delious assortment and inspiration for the dehydrator purchase!!!
I will post my drying results after the taste tests taking place this weekend during a backpacking trip to unknown destination with Mark and his sister Liz. I hope everything re-hydrates as well as it dehydrates!
I haven't taken it on a backpacking trip yet...this weekend will be the first and I will be sure to post a review. Its damn nice though. Thanks for the early b-day present mommsy!
