Picked up a food dehydrator for $5 at a thrift shop. Still drying my
first try. It's been on over 24 hours. Some are still not done while
some on the bottom tray are toasted. I couldn't slice them a uniform
thickness. Don't know if I'll get any more ripe tomatoes for a second
try It probably cost me a quarter a batch for the electricity. Can't
wait till next year's crop to do more drying.

Hmm... I wasn't impressed with my dehydrator. Used it once and returned
it. I did cantaloupe, kiwi, strawberry, lemons, apples, and mango.
Didn't like the fact that they all took different amounts of time to dry
and it took for-EVER. Plus, the fruit looked so unattractive... well,
except maybe the kiwi, those slices looked interesting, kind of artsy.
Made me think they would look really cool in a collage or something.
