How Your Comments Influence Me

The Excalibur dehydrator blog post is just one example of how your comments help bring me back to a better place.  

Sometimes we WANT more
than we really NEED.

I don't need the Cadillac of dehydrators.  I'm not drying enough produce for an army.  The biggest and best dehydrator really isn't necessary here on our tiny homestead.

I had a dehydrator, once.  A cheap model I bought at Walmart many, many years ago.  Maybe it was an American Harvest - I don't remember.

I happily made my own beef jerky using that dehydrator.  And it was good. It was a delicious snack when I forged a road trip to Yellowstone National Park, all by my lonesome.

When my ex-boyfriend borrowed that dehydrator, he most conveniently decided not to return it to me, in spite of my repeated requests to have it back.  (Jerk!)

I think, based on the comments received on my last blog post, I will purchase a more cost efficient model again, perhaps the American Harvest model mentioned. I think that's the model I put on my Amazon wish list last year??

I'd like to dry the spearmint that is growing with wild abandon in our garden, before it's too late.  I've made some wonderful mojitos with same spearmint the last few weekends.

That's not to say that the Excalibur model might not retain a spot on my wish list.    ;-)

After all, if the economy decides to go to hell in a handbasket, who's to say I might not have a small army of friends and family here on our homestead to feed??!!

P.S.  Thank you for all your wonderful, informative comments!
