I wanted an Excalibur for years but it just wasn't in the budget. One day within the last year I learned that Amazon had them on sale for $104. I told my husband and he told me to order it ... I love it. It is so much more efficient than my 25 year old American Harvester.patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570517928939568824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-586378303404333362017-12-14T11:40:45.732-05:002017-12-14T11:40:45.732-05:00I love your blog!

Can you tell me what dehydrator you use? I have been saving my credit card points for a couple of years to purchase a good one!

I really like your idea of drying half and eating half instead of letting the uneaten portion sit in the refrigerator and get old. So glad you found the chopper. Mine gets a lot of use!! Thank you for your sweet words of encouragement!patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570517928939568824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-42284692639095819412017-12-09T03:05:38.128-05:002017-12-09T03:05:38.128-05:00With just the two of us home now it is not unusual...With just the two of us home now it is not unusual for me to dry half of a basket of strawberries or anything we might not get used in time. I keep what I know we will be able to eat fresh when it is at its freshest and the rest gets dried and saved while it is still fresh too...no waste. When I have the dryer going anyway I might toss in several celery stalks worth and half of any thing like Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-72932243160993505212017-12-08T14:59:22.831-05:002017-12-08T14:59:22.831-05:00Thankyousoverymuch!

I would follow a very similiar method for the celery as I do the carrots. The carrots and the celery would be great additions to soups and casseroles!patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570517928939568824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-8722612390193293322017-12-08T06:27:51.460-05:002017-12-08T06:27:51.460-05:00I'll do some of these tonight.

They'll be a great addition to winter soups.<br /><br />Do you dehydrate celery as well? Despite trying several methods including foil, I can't keep it in the fridge any length of time. <br /><br />mdoe37https://www.blogger.com/profile/03019276985594142350noreply@blogger.com
