Tina made fried cubed potatoes and onions, and I had scrambled eggs and cheese with toast for breakfast.
It surely is nice when someone else cooks.
She even got my coffee.

Haaaaaaa...... That is so funny, and Tina does the same thing sometimes...
i.e. .....the last week, she bought Two big big boxes of baby Portabela mushrooms. I said,"Honey, Who is or what are you going to make with all these mushrooms?"

She said,"Don't cha worry, I read if you keep them in a brown paper bag; loose, they will extend the life of the mushrooms!"

Well...yesterday, I pulled out the bag of her special preserved Mushrooms, and hahahaha, I said,"Here ya go babe!" "Here is your bag of Horse xxit!"...
She said,"OMG...Throw them out ....Gawk Gawk Gawk!"
I said," and what animal is really gonna slurp these up?" ....they way they smell,"They are ready to FLUSH down the Toilet!!!" APRIL... BREAKFAST AND LUNCH  - Page 3 2855670339

The celery trick is to take it out of the bag, and wrap it in tin foil.
We found out to just leave the leaf end slightly opened. In the fridge.....
We have found it usable even after two weeks.

OK, so you got me interested, Barb.....

Strawberry Banana mini muffins:

APRIL... BREAKFAST AND LUNCH  - Page 3 StrawberryBananaMuffins

New recipe ~ gotta figure out how to make the strawberries less juicy.  The inside texture was 'off' to my liking but the flavor was fabulous.

APRIL... BREAKFAST AND LUNCH  - Page 3 WetBerries

Note after muffins completely cool: I removed the muffins from the pan when still very warm and allowed to cool on a rack upside-down. Once completely cooled the texture improved. I think this is a recipe I'll probably make again.

Muffins look good Barb & Beth......
Is it National Muffin Week? Haaaaaaaaaaaa

Beth...You can dehydrate the fruits of any kind, and remove a portion of the water, by placing in a low oven temperature of 150ºF
I do it with large mushrooms to place on pizza so that the water in the mushrooms doesn't wet the dough and make floppy pizza.

I also do it with canned mushrooms.

If you do strawberry's ,,, I would slice them, but not too thin.

My mom used to dehydrate canned peaches when she made Peach / Bran muffins.
Ummmmm! I love Bran Muffins!......

Tina is at the store shopping for food, and when she comes home, I will show her the pics of the muffins you Girls made> Guaranteed she sees them, and makes muffins today!
How Much Ya Wanna Bet?....haaa

I only made 'em because you were on a muffin baking craze and I was dying for something sweet to eat!

I found the recipe on foodgawker or pinterist and it sounded good to me. I was going to make my usual sour cream banana muffins because I had 3 bananas that were to the point of going to liquid. And I had a package of strawberries in the refrigerator. The strawberries were huge so it only took four to chop to make a cup of chopped berries for the recipe. Dane has already dispatched the remainder of the strawberries since I sliced 'em and put 'em back in the refrigerator. lol

Now that the muffins are cool, every time I walk past them on the cooling rack I try another one.....heck, I've walked out to the kitchen six times in the last 10 minutes!

Me too Barb!
When Tina makes that simple syrup for strawberries for strawberry shortcake, I ask her to save some and not put them in that syrup. Way too sweet for me, and I just like strawberries cold on my shortcake.
They (Tina and DD ) eat their strawberries on the shortcake or poundcake, and drizzle the syrup on the cake. Uggggg! Too Wet and Mushy for me.

Guaranteed, Jimmy, you wouldn't steal a taste of MY strawberry shortcake.....

Split biscuit layered with strawberries and lots of 'juice' ~ then a big glug of cold milk to mix with the strawberry juice and soak into the biscuit. Sweet biscuit made mushy with Strawberry Milk (and NOT the "N*e*s*t*l*e*s" kind of Strawberry Milk).

That's the way my grandpa ate his shortcake, so, of course, that's how I learned to like it.

Same as eating watermelon and cantaloupe (although HE always called it "mush-melon"). Gotta have it with salt and pepper sprinkled on it. Lots of pepper. And, funny thing is, after Dane saw me doing that for years and years, he finally started to do the same thing with his melon. I just figured it was a quirky thing just done in my family but it must be an acquired taste....lol

Hey, Barb, remember this? When I had my first bumper crop of tomatoes in Ohio I seeded them, tossed with evoo & sprinkled with s&p....dehydrated until just about dry and then used to top little toasts with fresh mozzarella cheese (oh, and a sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley if you like).

I cannot wait to make these again. Half the time I would make two full sheet trays of the tomatoes and end up eating most of one pan right off the pan. They taste like candy when they dehydrate like that. I think I experimented and found I could take the oven as high as 325° to do them quicker without it changing the texture or taste.
