New Prepping Videos

Been prepping up (for) a storm. (Little play on words there, eh?)

One of my yahoo groups was talking about dehydrating ground beef into hamburger rocks. Always seemed like a lot of work for ground beef bits (they turn out really small) so I asked if one could de-hydrate meatballs? No one had an answer. 

So I did an experiment. Check out my YouTube video for the results:















I had a bunch of cucumbers so I decided to experiment and dehydrate those too. Not exactly sure what I'm going to do with them, but I'm on a dehydrating roll here, so you get to see that one also:



And last but not least, something I REALLY hope takes the cake, I've grown my own sweet potato slips. Sweet potato slips are what we would normally call seedling/starters for other vegetables. Eventually, I hope they will become pounds and pounds of sweet potatoes. So far, I've gotten 15 potato slips off one sweet potato for which I paid about 50 cents, and there are still more stems sprouting. Didn't think to take a video about how to peel off the stem from the potato...so I'll try and do that soon and edit the (already uploaded) video. Plus hopefully I'll actually have a harvest (I'm starting REALLY late in the year) and I'll video that one too. We only have about 6 weeks of bad growing weather here in southern California...I'm hoping I can extend the growing season and make it through to get a harvest.
