Every time I make this recipe for Louisiana Baked Beans, Vince goes on and on about how good they are and how I should make them more often. I've added a Texas flair because I now add jalapeno peppers. I mix in part of a jalapeno pepper and then I sprinkle the other part of it on top. I've become such a lazy cook. I brown the sausage in the skillet, then toss in the onions, bell pepper ...

Freeze Dried Ice Cream
I wasn't going to do it. Everyone else who has a freeze dryer seems to be addicted to freeze dried ice cream but I'm better than that. I'm using my freeze dryer for more important things, definitely not . . ice cream. But then one day, we could no longer find Blue Bell's Christmas Cookie ice cream.

The eggs want to crumble as I'm trying to get them ...

That causes it to shrink up a bit from the edges, which is fine . . we aren't into "pretty" around here. I took ...
Sweet Potato Pie in the Oven
Not everyone wants a freeze dryer. Not everyone can even figure out why anyone would want a freeze dryer. I understand that. I am not trying to sell anyone on the idea that you need one. When I post about things in and out of the freeze dryer, it's (1) Because I love sharing what I'm doing; (2) Some people do want them and want to see EVERYTHING that can be done with one and (3) I want to document ...
