>>> Well, today I tried drying meat - not jerky in the usual sense. <<<

I'm going to try that. we're cleaning out a freezer in just a few so am sure will have a likely candidate to dry,,, then I’m vacuum packing it either in jar or food-saver..

BTW anybody found food saver storage bags or bulk rolls at a better price that the world famous wally world??

Not really... However if you can get the cases of rolls, they seem to be cheaper.

On my dehydrated foods, I’m using the Food Saver attachment (about $10 in either regular or wide mouth size) to vacuum seal canning jars - I use used lids and they seem to seal just fine, therefore no new cost for their storage.

Oh, too darn hot to go to the fair till this evening... Have been watering fruit trees and poplars to keep them growing (3 1/2 weeks - .01 rainfall) Today dehydrating peppers for my all veggie powder. Tomatoes are coming on and I plan to dry a whole bunch - have seen information that you can make a nice tomato paste by rehydrating tomato powder with just enough water to make it the right consistency - beats all the heat from hours of cooking it down and stirring for hours to keep it from scorching, then waterbathing them - drying is much cooler in the kitchen (even with all 3 of them going).
