Success.

 I made a venison roast in the crockpot the other day while we working. I just tossed a couple potatoes in at the end, which we had with sour cream. It was a fine meal. As always, there were left overs. I minced the meat up finely, tossed it back into the crockpot, with some beef broth. I added some of my dehydrated vegetables.  

I haven't dehydrated before, but I have a half gallon jar in the pantry. It holds 5 lbs of potatoes, celery and carrots. As I picked vegetables, I dehydrated them and tossed them in. When the cherry tomatoes got to crisis levels, I sliced them in thirds and put those in my oven  too. If I had extra onion from cooking, I tossed it in the oven over night. I crumbled up my dehydrated tomato skins and tossed them in. No vegetables went to waste, no matter how small the amount. I can always run down stairs and grab some potatoes to slice and dehydrate to make a full ove

In any case, that jar had a goosortment of vegetables. I gave the Jjaet a good shake and then scooped out a half cup and added them to the meat. I tossed in  quarter cup of couscous. It simmered overnight. Boy, did that ever make a great soup. 

I am calling this one a success. 

We drove into town to take my daughter out for her birthday. She is the last birthday to celebrate. Four kids have birthdays in a three week period and hers is the last. In just a month, she and Don are getting married, so there was wedding talk as well.

Then it was back home. There is distant thunder, and flashes of far off lightning. A cool breeze is blowing and tonight, finally, it will rain.
