Food dehydrator

Just discovered that mum in ABQ has one. She's used it for cherries, grapes/raisins, bananas, tomatoes with varying success. I don't know about veggies, but we can certainly experiment. Lizzy, if you have directions/recipes suggestions, I can have her try it out for us!

Just FYI, y'all can start filling in your individual gear below Devon's and mine on the gear list. I am excited about this and about hearing what y'all are thinking/obtaining.

FOOOOOOD

Major progress has been made on the food front! My brilliant mother found an almost new food dehydrator for $7. This should keep us stocked with veggies and fruits from various family gardens that won't weigh us down or cost an arm and a leg.

In related news, I'm trying to gain weight. This is on the advice of Maggie, AT vet that I met. I was doing good being sedentary in BA and eating lots of gellato. These days I am running and hiking and there is only one gellato place and it's far and sort of expensive. I'm not sure how to advance my weight-gaining goals. I guess I'm making extra muscle, which can't be bad to have around- but I was hoping to have some fat to burn, too.

Devo Turns Type A

It's amazing how organized I can be when I'm procrastinating. My room is always cleanest during finals week. Anyway, here's the link for the Google Doc with the planning needs for the next four months!!
