GOT (was) RE: [at-l] Got me a dehydrator

I had a friend who grew his own tobacco -- not a lot just enough for his own
purposes..  He mixed in some other legitimate herbs to make a Native
American peace pipe mix.  He got pulled over and his "stash" was
confiscated.  He just went with the flow when the cop arrested him.  Of
course the cop was a bit embarassed when the mix tested negative.  And when
his own co-workers and family gave him down the country for not recognizaing
tobacco -- his family were big tobacco growers in the lower part of South
Carolina.

Of course we got a city boy high on rabbit tobacco by convincing him that it
was a Native American herb similar to peyote.  Some times the mind can
imagine a good drunk.  Then there was the guy we got drunk on watered down
Listerine...

<<I was wondering if I could dehydrate the frozen vegetables I buy at my
local
grocery store?>>

Fresh veggies work a lot better in my limited experience. I tried tried to
dehydrate frozen broccoli and wasn't impressed. From what a friend tried do
NOT try to dehydrate frozen spinach; OTH fresh spinach dries great and
weighs nothing, just make sure no one thinks it's your "stash". Mushrooms
are awesome because you can use them in almost any dinner recipe, but you
can buy already dried mushrooms for the same price as fresh and save
yourself the trouble of drying.
Same for apples and bananas... but I've dried strawberries and kiwis with
some nice sucess...
