R.I.P little food dehydrator

Signs point to it being time to start packing the food and mailing it to Labrador......because the dehydrator simply can't make any more food.  The lid has melted and the trays are all breaking down.  Only 2 of the 5 original trays remain in almost passable condition.  We certainly got our $40.00 out of the little guy!!  We spent almost $300 at COSTCO this weekend buying kilos of instant potatoes, rice, pasta, instant soups, nuts, hundereds of granola bars, etc.  Our calculations put us at about 8 dollars a day to feed both of us.  Over 3 months, with no rent or bills....that's a pretty appealing cost of living!  There may be lots of cold fingers, ferocious bugs and sore behinds, but have 3 kilos of chocolate...will travel.

  1. Oh what a little champ that dehydrator was! We can call his life ultimately productive. It must be such a wonderful feeling knowing that your trip is so close you can literally taste it!

    Sharing in your excitement,
