I was reading the recipes about the jerky, but it makes me feel a little
queesy at the thought
. I saw dehdryated strawberries and mine are
growing at the moment. Trouble is I can't think of what I could do with
them after they were dried. Snacks for the grandies? Actually I don't
think I will have enough left to store lol. Dreaming of strawberries and
icecream.
