Dehydrating Bananas


I'm having just a little bit of trouble dehydrating bananas. I bought a can of Planters nuts mix. It also had dried banana chips that were so good. So ... I ran to the store for some banana poundage. Did a google search on just how to get started. Seemed pretty simple, but two trys later, I still have no bananas dehydrated. The first batch got burned to an untasty mess. The second batch wasn't completely dried. Maybe the third time will do. I'm going to the store later. I think I'll try again.

Sock Knit Along


I'm pretty excited about the progress I've made on learning to knit socks. Judy L. at http://www.patchworktimes.com/ has a knit along going and I think I've finally got the flow of it for two socks at a time on two circular needles. I'd like to be knitting right now, but I just stopped in here at the computer long enough to update my progress on the knit a along. I'm headed back out to the garden. I may have ordered too much garlic, but since I have it, I guess I'd better plant it. Cold weather is hot on my heels so I'd better not slow down. I also have a few other garden chores on the before winter list. I'm sort of looking forward to the "too cold to be outside" weather, but today it's really beautiful out.
