Love your blog, it's exactly what we hope to do on our acreage in the country one of these days (or so I tell myself on my blog, ha). I'm looking forward to reading thru your blog.

I'll have to experiment rehydrating them too :-). I think I may have stumbled on the best dog treat ever though! Maybe the "chewiness" of them? Butsch (my Future Leader Dog For The Blind)was workin' like a charm for them today!! Dog treats are top priority here too LOL!dr momihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15665259531466170062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754386920471876383.post-77332523924271756602011-09-26T16:55:38.890-05:002011-09-26T16:55:38.890-05:00I was also going to suggest rehydrating the potato...I was also going to suggest rehydrating the potatoes. I love our apple chips that we've made and some of the other fruits as well, but most of the vegetables are destined for soups and stir fry meals.
