Dehydrating Orange Peel ~ Orange Peel Powder
Our grocer is finally carrying organic oranges, so I have been saving the peels and dehydrating them.
This is a first for me. I've never dehydrated the peels due to not having access to organic oranges. My plan is to use them for recipes for now. We use orange peel in our hot cranberry punch, and now that I am making more teas, I think it would be nice to have some on hand for tea making.
I plan. . .

Suited Up ~ One Roasted Chicken
Okay, Mama Pea said she wanted "picture proof."
Here it is:
I'm not moving very fast in all the get-up either, but it is keeping me warm and well covered. I just have to be careful when walking. Hubby's old carharrt is a bit long for me (oddly). I had a problem with steaming up my sunglasses, but that morning sun was piercing my eyeballs yesterday. I am thankful for it (sunshine), so no complaints. I wear Hubby's hat over the face mask in colder weather too.
Want to know how far one roasted chicken stretched for us?
Normally, one home raised, roasted chicken lasts about two days around here. However, with Son gone (and oldest Daughter gone more often), we have more leftovers.
