Definitely not a "daily" accomplishment, but working on it to be a "notable" accomplishment. Have started trying to organize my kids two huge containers of Legos! LOL. And I mean BIG containers! Sorting by color right now and trying to get some sets completed with pieces and organized in ziplocks. This will definitely take a while, but my inner child had fun yesterday. LOL

Happystuff, what a fun way to do some clearing out!!! I hope it helps with the 1st mother's day without your mother. Always difficult.
Now that summer hours are pretty much over (just next week of mid-day to early evening hours) I'm trying to start getting back into my night schedule. After work yesterday, I went grocery shopping and stocked up on ground turkey that will need to be processed this weekend, as well as some strawberries on sale that I managed to get from the grocer back to the dehydrator! LOL.
Planning this to be a "food" weekend, so hopefully I'll be able to report more accomplishments in that area.

Today is clean up the garden, harvest some things and put in some fall garden stuff. I am picking all the Pueblo and hatch chiles and DH will put them on the smoker so we can process and freeze for use later.
Ground turkey is now on the dehydrator, made cheese crackers out of the cheese slices that NOBODY was eating! (liked the crackers better than the cheese itself - lol). Have wheat berries in the rice cooker - trying to eat down the pantry.

I didn't know you could dehydrate turkey. Does it keep well? Reconstitute well?
Actually, yes. I buy the 1 pound "logs" of ground turkey at Aldi's and, while still frozen, will boil them until cooked through. (I like that they usually retain their shape, so I know that 1 log equals a pound uncooked.) Once cooked, I drain and squeeze out the extra liquid and crumble each log onto a tray - 1 pound per tray. It usually takes about a day to dehydrate after which I put into pint canning jars using lids and rings (only need to be air tight, not vacuum sealed!) - again, 1 pound per pint jar. To re-hydrate I simply pour boiling water into the jar, rest the lid on top until I'm ready to use it in whatever the dinner recipe may be - just pour the excess water out of the jar and use.

That's amazing. I might try that. Does the dried meat keep at room temp or do you freeze it?
