I tried something new today, dehydrating. I had three quarts of beans cleaned and bagged, with no room in the freezer and no desire to can. It was way too hot today for canning. I haven't dehydrated anything since the '70s, and I only attempted fruit back then.
My three quarts of beans are now shriveled down to about a pint and are safely stored away. I'll try some soup or stew next week to see if we like rehydrated beans!
While the dehydrator was doing its thing, I had time to go through some boxes, and I had time to tat!
I've been asked about the difference in size with the different threads. The blue Spinning Wheel is size 80 Lizbeth. It's about 3 1/2". The yellow Snowflake Cappuccino is size 20 Lizbeth and is about 4 3/4". The green Spinning wheel is size 20 Lizbeth and is about 5 1/2".
It's so little! But lovely!
ReplyDeleteHope you like the beans!
Beautiful !!!
ReplyDeleteThe Jain community dehydrate veggies a lot. But that is done in sunlight, which is not in short supply here ;-)
Lovely spinning wheel mat, one of my favourite colours.
ReplyDeleteNice to compare the different sizes.
Have a nice weekend
Thanks for the comparison. The blue is very pretty and size 80 very dainty. I hope the beans rehydrate well, always good to have options.
ReplyDeleteAll your spinning wheels are so pretty. Here I often buy rehydrated legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas), we like them a lot!
ReplyDeleteMmm.. I supposed to mean I buy dehydrated... then I put them in the water for a night.
DeleteThanks for the size comparison, Diane. I do love that blue size 80, and I'm once again impressed with how well that pattern looks in a variegated thread.
ReplyDeleteNice to see the difference in thread sizes. Hope the beans turn out well.
ReplyDeleteI knew you would get it done and it looks wonderful!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun to see your different doilies n comparison to thread sizes. I LOVE everything you shuttle tat. Happy Summer...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the size comparison! I love the spinning mats.
