Guest guest Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 Hi Terry, It sounds like you're becoming very proficient with your raw food preparations. I will be trying your pesto--where in St. Louis do you get good basil or do you grow your own? I got an Excalibur dehydrator for christmas and the first thing I tried to make was banana chips. They were gross, though my 6 y.o. was willing to eat them--go figure! I don't think they were quite done because they were still a bit soft, but they were so brown...yuck. Would you mind telling me how thick you make your slices, if you dip them in anything before dehydrating, and about how long you dehydrate them? You also mentioned avocados. Have you been able to get any good ones lately? I haven't found an edible avocado around here since August. I was thinking they are out of season, but I really miss them.
