Raised bed Gardens, dehydrator, Coffee percolator

Hey Dub,
I must say, I’ve learned a few things from you in the short time I’ve been reading your articles. For example, I did finally find a cast iron skillet a couple of years ago. Always wanted one, but all I could find were these pans with the Teflon coating. What I didn’t understand was the need to season the pan. So, a few days ago I wiped a bit of olive oil on the pan and put it in the oven. I used it for the first time this morning scrambling 18 eggs! Amazing how easily it cleans up now. And the 18 eggs? They are all now in my dehydrator for the big experiment of making powdered eggs. I learned through this that with the 4 trays I can do 18 eggs at a time. I dug out and cleaned up the blender. After I see how this turns out, I’m going to try the same thing with cheddar cheese.
I’ll let you know how it turns out. There is a local real estate lady near here who lives in the country and has hens. She wants to know how to do this. Don’t know for sure, but this might be a source of cheaper eggs if she can’t handle them all. She says they don’t lay a lot in winter but in the summer they lay a lot.
I’ve also tried out this morning a coffee percolator (no electricity needed). I haven’t seen one of those since I was a little boy with my grandparents. So, I went out and bought a cheap one. Seems to work fine. I put 3 spoons of coffee for 4 cups of water. I may have to use a spoon per cup or let it percolate for more than 7 minutes but it isn’t bad. The down side is after I bought this I actually found we had kept my grandmother’s percolator which is glass. Oh well, now I have 2!
We’re making progress.

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
