Updates!

 Holy Toledo!

I was a whirl-wind yesterday.

I kept thinking I would take a minute

and post a blog, but then something ELSE

would happen and take my attention / time.

So let's see.

I started out the day by working out

(I'm starting a 2 week ARM challenge...)

and then showered, ate my quinoa breakfast

and then I headed to Sam's to get our groceries

for the week. ($185!!!)

But that included some meat for the

Freeze Dryer!

Then to Tractor Supply to get food for Buddy.

By the time I got home I needed to give

Beau his Ace (tranquilizer) so he didn't

bite the vet when she looks in his ears.

While I waited for that to kick in, 

I ate some lunch and put all the

groceries away.

And then I rolled five tubs of deli meat

and put it on the trays to go into

the Freeze Dryer.

I did 1 tray of roast beef,

2 trays of different kinds of ham

and 2 trays of different kinds of turkey.

Normally you pre-freeze everything for 12 to 24 hours

before putting it in the machine, but I didn't want to.

(grin)

The machine froze it for me in just 5 hours.

It took a total of 27 hours.

And it's DELICIOUS!

(I forgot to take a picture...)

I ate a piece of each and then we put one in a bowl

of water to rehydrate. It was AMAZING and only

took a minute for it to go right back to the original.

Put it all in mylar bags for us to nibble on.

And we will put some away for the future.

I have to set up a table at our Homemaking meeting

next week, so I'll take this with me.

Oh, we also did yogurt bites!

They are pretty good!

Then it was time to take Beau to the vet.

He was all wobbly and drugged out.

But he behaved very well.

And his ears are getting better.

I think (hope) we are on the mend.

He has one more visit in two weeks.

And that should be it.

WOW!

It has been a pricey little adventure.

Once we got home, I ate a quick dinner

and then it was time to teach my class.

20 students!

This morning I worked out again and then

headed to the Town.

They were happy to see me.

And my desk was less of a mess than

I was expecting, so that's good.

After work I headed home and Kyle and

I sat down at the computer and did his taxes.

Yikes!!!

Oh the joys of being a business owner.

And now?

I'm going to make some dinner,

feed the animals,

and watch a couple episodes of 

Master Chef Australia and head to bed!
