Hi and Dry
July 22, 2025
First, here’s our garden haul yesterday, strawberry hair edition:
Try not to think about the time it took to form the head with all of those rolly polly cherry tomatoes. But do know, I have fun amusing myself with my garden art. LOL.
The zucs were a late addition… and kinda don’t really make sense. Just chalk it up to garden whimsey.
Also, while you may not hear it, this fellow is saying “hi” with the golden twinkle in his eyes.
Okay, next up: Dry.
I cut into this mango last night only to discover it was not ripe enough to use in our salad.. but now that it was peeled and cut, what to do, what to do?? Overnight in the dehydrator was Jim’s solution. Jim’s really branching out in the dehydrating department!
Like we discovered with unripe plums: an unripe mango yields unripe dried mango. But these are (er, were) pretty good! Next time we’ll shorten the drying time in order to achieve a chewier result, but I tell ya, this dehydrator is showing a lot of promise.
