To the left, some habeneros that we got as a housewarming gift. I know most of them would have gone to waste if I hadn't had a way to dry them--because really, how many 200,000 Scoville unit peppers can you eat in a week?--but now there's one for every pot of chili we'll make this winter.
To the right, apple chips. We got an apple corer as a housewarming gift too, and, in combination with the dehydrator, it's making me a happy, happy girl. It takes about three minutes to core and slice enough apples to fill the dehydrator, and the resulting apple chips are my new favorite "after-school" snack.
