For the "or something", I bought a home freezedrier. I will freezedry all my left overs now. I am new with it but I have it all planned out. No more waste in my house. I will put those leftovers away, properly stored for up to 25 years :) Love my new freezedry machine even more after reading your post. I love this and it gave me a boost in my step that it wasn't a waste of money to buy. I didn't have a lot of support when I ordered it. But now people are changing to they are kind of jealous :) that I got the freezedrier anyway. They see what it can do and what it means for my families future.
