Food Dehydrating

Asparagus dries beautifully!

I have been doing a fair bit of dehydrating. I bought a dehydrator around the start of February, and have had some good success. So far I have dehydrated:

5 pounds of bananas
25 pounds or so of potatoes (which is more work than other stuff because you have to blanche the taters).
10 pounds of apples
4 pounds of tofu
3 pounds or so of broccoli
6 pounds of asparagus
1+ gallons of pasta sauce
8 cups? of cooked red lentils (this was one of the most stressful. As lentils do not take very long to cook, I think I am just going to lug a bit more fuel than try to do these again).

I can't figure out how to spin the picture, but this is me with some "pasta sauce fruit leather." Yum?
