Some last of tomatoes I grew and purchased from local growers drying in my dehydrator.
Getting every little bit dried, canned or frozen.
Even some store-bought mushrooms that I know I won't use soon were dehydrated. They work well in soups and stews. Good tasting hydrated and used in Quiche.
They can be dried crispy and ground into a powder; I have done that and used in various dishes where the flavor of mushroom is welcome.
Tomatoes after drying. These are good made into a powder for soups and sauces.
Dried tomato and onion quiche
Dried apples.
They will hydrate nicely when I use them in pies or just eat them like they are. I pour boiling water over them sometimes with apple juice to hydrate.
I vacuum sealed and placed in freezer. Need to purchase some moisture absorbers, not sure what they are really called to place with dried goods in jars. I've seen that done to make sure that no mold will grow in case a little moisture is trapped in the apples. I usually dry to a crisp so not really much of a chance, but still in the freezer they go.
Oh yes, some basil I harvested.
dried
I finally decorated my mantle.
My foyer with so much sunlight streaming through
Still working on front door
Mums purchased to place on porch today. Not loving the wreath but will have to do at this point.
'Begonia Grandis' Herons Pirouette has such pretty pick flowers.
That's it for now
Bye September and Hello October tomorrow.
