Deeply Rooted
I know, Bay, packets from the store when I have garlic, onions and celery from the garden is utterly shameful! I try to make as much from scratch as I can, but I get lazy sometimes and it's faster. Open the jar, mix in the packet and it's done.
I do have a dehydrator and just dried 4 racks worth of tomato slices. Those are now in the freezer. I plan on turning them into powder when I get a chance, and then I'm going to dehydrate some more to use on salads in the winter. That sounds wonderful! I can't make myself buy them from the store anymore, either. Every now and again I'll buy raspberries or strawberries from the store and am disappointed because they have no flavor. I guess I just need that reminder now and then. Right now we're eating the strawberries as fast as we can pick them. Raspberries should be ready in a week or two, and it'll be the same with them. We also have wild black raspberries that produced like crazy in July. I froze a bunch of those. It's required around here for birthdays to have made from scratch angel food cake, raspberries from the patch and or strawberries, and "real" whipped cream.
