Hubby's new dehydrator that he received for Father's Day ... sweet basil and chives ... we did several trays of herbs this weekend ...
lemon thyme ... mother of thyme ...
blueberry/apple fruit leathers ... three trays that should be dry in the next hour or two ... no more Fruit Roll Ups for us!
Blueberry cobbler for dessert with vanilla ice cream ... YUMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!
Hubby and I got up early this morning and went blueberry pickin' ... 10 pounds between the two of us. We froze ALOT of them ... made the leathers in the dehydrator (our first -- can't wait to try them!!) ... made the cobbler ... and ate a TON! They are oh soooooooooooooooooooo good!!!! Just think how good fresh blueberry cobbler will taste this winter!!!**********
Marinated pork roast, taters, onions and carrots from the garden are cooking on the grill ... homemade coleslaw ... cuke salad ... fresh cottage cheese ... call it dinner.
**********
A satisfying weekend craftwise -- finished a couple of small cross stitches, cut some wool pieces out to applique a pillow, hand quilted one of my two doll quilts, did some sketching, wound all 174 skeins of floss that I dyed a week ago -- that was ALOT of winding!!!! I'm working up a new little punch project using them ... tonight will find me winding some wool yarn skeins to dye for a punched chair pad ... I bought a dye book and some awesome new dyes while in Pennsylvania that I'm just itching to try out. A nice, quiet, not-too-hot Sunday evening in northern Illinois ...

Would you be willing to share your fruit leather recipe with me?
I just picked up a used dehydrator yesterday (mine had been gone for a few years now) and I am looking for some new recipes. :)
This was my first attempt at fruit leathers actually. I cooked about 5 cups of blueberries by dipping my strainerful into boiling water for a few minutes. Plopped it in the blender with a couple of cups of applesauce and whipped it up. Simple and ohhhhhhhhh so good (now that it's done -- YUMMMMMMM!!!!).
