Comment by Judy Nak on December 4, 2011 at 3:01pm: Thank you to Karla for the recipes, tips, samples, etc. And thanks to Chris for posting the book list. I am borrowing a friend's dehydrator this weekend....

To the gentleman who wanted Salt & Vinegar chips - check out http://ohsheglows.com/2010/07/30/homemade-salt-vinegar-chips/. Baked chips, but you may also be able to fry them instead of baking.

I also thought of sprinkling the powdered sushi vinegar mix (for hot rice) on just fried chips, but that has preservative.

Comment by karla on December 1, 2011 at 9:17pm: I hope everyone enjoyed tonight as much as I enjoyed your company. Dehydration can be very fun especially with your own spice mixes, herbs & more. Thank you to Practical Art for the use of your location this evening. Thank you to Chris for the computer set up, Thank you to Debbie & Aaron for class assisting with dehydration samples and materials.
