  • We're hanging out in the kitchen again today, cooking up a storm. I'm making my mom's beef stew with biscuits, marzipan, baked oatmeal and sourdough. We also have some new farm kittens I wanted to introduce you to. I hope you enjoy coming along with us and wish you a wonderful day.
    Thanks for watching!

    Before you return the damaged freeze dryer you should ask if you can purchase the trays that came with it. Nice to have an extra set to prefreeze stuff while your freeze dryer is running. It would save on shipping charges if you decided you wanted a second set of trays in the future.

This way he has a preparedness kit as well as some thing to use when camping. I also included a gallon of water.😀

    Good job! First time I have seen a pastry dough recipe that resembles what I have used for over 30 years - except that I sprinkle vinegar over lard, baking powder and flour (5 c) , then to one whisked egg, I add milk to make 1 cup. pour over and mix with fork and then I knead the dough for a few seconds just to form ball and use up flour. I use hands to crumble lard. I never refrigerate it. Always flaky. Good video!

    Freeze dried eggs are great. Try some out. They make really good scramble eggs and great added in to recipes. This is fantastic for the winter when the fresh eggs become less plentiful. 1 tablespoon of whole powdered eggs with 3 tablespoons of water equal 1 eggs.

    You might try converting your recipes by taking the new recipe ( the smaller one) and dividing that amount by the large recipe amount (ex. 8 servings divided by 12 servings). The number you get (.667) is your “conversion factor.” You multiply that number by each ingredient to get your new amounts. So if you have 1/2 cup of flour in the larger (old) recipe you multiply by .667 to get .334 or 1/3 cup. You might already know all this lol, but if not then I thought it could make it easier for you. Love your videos!!

      She probably knew but I did not. I sm a widow now living in Costa Rica. North American food is what I must cook. Local food is 3 or 4 starches with each meal plus rice. I must eat very little starch to control my diabetes with my diet. So I am constantly looking for diabetic friendly meals made from scratch. All the sugar free ingredients available in the US are not available here. They are not imported into Costa Rica. Cane sugar is raised here and sold all over the world. Local diets are loaded with it as well.

I separate the stems from the leaves so I can have crushed leaves, and powdered stems for different uses. So great. Also did celery powder with a bunch of spindly celery from my winter Aerogarden grow. Kind of a fail but also a win.

    I'm not surprised the biscuits turned out, the baking soda would have reacted with the vinegar to cause a rise. I believe baking powder is simply baking soda mixed with tartaric acid or cream of tartar. I've mixed that together in a pinch (ie at someone's house). That also looked like the tenderflake pie crust recipe. I make that all the time. So good. I use it for meat pies (not tourtiere). I just got my onion seeds started today, it was so nice to get my hands in dirt even though I have been gardening all winter in Aerogardens. Can't wait to see what you do with the freeze dryer. I need to get into more meal prep using it. Would make summer meals a little easier without heating up the house.
