Jerky

Last year (2007), I got David a dehydrator for his birthday, because he had decided that if he had a dehydrator, he could dry and shrivel countless number of items and we would be in snack heaven for years to come! :-) Well, he FINALLY decided a year later, that it was time to use it. So, right before Christmas this year, he made his first ever batch of beef jerky and boy was it a hit! David's dad especially enjoyed it (all we heard from him during Christmas gift unwrapping was a symphony of Ooohs, and Yummmmmms and "Man, this is great jerky"!). Unfortunately, I did not think to document the first jerky making on the blog, but I did get pictures tonight of him making his second batch. I don't think he was as impressed with this second batch (he said it was too dry...needed to come out of the dehydrator sooner), but he did eat it! At least he will know for the next batch! Here are some pictures of David creating...
