Thank you Sonny.
We had a nice quiet Christmas at home with all the kids in for dinner.
Got more wood working toys so if the weather doesn't like me, I can still spin wood.

Good!
Betty and I gave each other a deep freezer so we could store more. Good thing.... Just the one in the fridge was a PITA.
We draw names at Thanksgiving for our immediate family members, Danny got my name.
He asked Betty what to get for me. She told him anything to do with making Jerky.
So he got me a Presto Dehydrator.
The digital one. It's the same one his other daughter's boyfriend has, and he makes great Jerky with it.
Now I make great jerky, too. I was looking at dehydrators to complement my smoker I do Salmon with. Mostly just wishful thinking. Quite a great surprise for me, spot on!
There was some fruit left over from our Brunch we host on Christmas Day (One of those Costco sized trays). So I had little Ava (4) help me in the kitchen after the hubbub quieted down.
I sliced, and she put the pieces on the trays. And we made some dried melon and strawberry chips as the first load. And the next day Grandpa had to try making fruit roll-ups.
Now, I've used up the two 1 Lb chubs of lean Hamburger from the freezer, and have 3.48 Lbs. of Sirloin roast marinating in the Fridge to dehydrate today...
I think I need a cow.... this stuff is going as fast as I make it.
I've settled on what the carnivores like now, so time to make some bulk.
Tariyaki for Grandma; peppery hot for most everybody else.
Makin Jerky yesterday afternoon.Sonny the strip massager...
