i wish i had 70 dollars to spend. I love to cook, make all kinds of food, but i cant afford the ingredients or the tools to do some things. I have to spend my money on cheap calories to get through the week. Ramen, berries and things i can pick from the trail by the water front, that sort of thing. i improvise most of the time and its a lot more work, like making bread, people always tell me,"oh, just push the blah blah blah button on your machine" my oven lacks those buttons.

thanks for the help guys. I am going to try the oven thing first, if that does not work out well I will pick up something from amazon with a top mounted fan with my rewards check from my CC.. tuition at least gets me lots of points. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> any tips on what to try drying first? i was thinking apples and bananas, some cherries off our tree ( bumper crop this year). I will freeze what i am not going to eat in the next few months. how well does freezing work for preserving the stuff without vacuum sealing it? I am asking around to borrow a vacuum sealer, but have not found one yet.

thanks for the help.
