freezers vs drying


7 am
                Today is going to be a bunch more food putting up. And I am fast running out of freezer space. Should I buy a small chest freezer? What I really need to do is cook the 2 huge pieces of meat from the meat share – I have a pork butt roast and a beef roast. Kent has to get a new dehumidifier from Sears, maybe I should see what they have in terms of chest freezers. Ok I just spent 20 minutes looking at them on line. Looks like to get a reasonably sized energy star rated one would be about $500 which is too much in my mind. It’s just that our little freezer is pretty much full. I’m thinking of roasting some eggplants today, then freezing them to use for baba ganoush later. I wonder if the roasted stuff could then be dehydrated. Don’t see why not, but today I am also going to start some rabbit jerky. I am currently freezing a bit that I finished boning yesterday, not to freeze all the way but just enough to make it easy to slice up small. Then I will marinate it and make the jerky. I’ve done it before but without the marinating and it was not that good. I am hoping some nice tamari will make it tasty.
                Finished the 9 skeins of dark fawn, now I will wash then and hang them out to dry. And then start the dark gray. Tomorrow my sister is coming for a knitting lesson, that should be fun. Then there is Thursday, then I leave for Maine. Of course I’ll be back either Saturday night or Sunday. I think I will also look at the soap making video again and see if I can gather materials needed. Then maybe on Friday I could actually do it. I already fed the buns, and looked to see if I need another pallet. I could probably get by on the ones I have. I truly need to mow the back lawn today, I guess after that I can start in on moving compost around.
                Well, I have not written much, but I am feeling like I ought to get going. I wasted a lot of time looking at those sites about freezers.
