The Meatballsoup!

Looks like it might be good to try. Is it spicy or bland?

Spicey

4 lbs of top round London broil with sweet Asian BBQ marinade. Soon to be jerky.
Well, in 6-8 hours.

I cannot read the picture. It looks like eggplant pieces roasted, but they seem to rest on a plastic structure? Confused.

Well, since bad pictures of food are allowed, here is my lunch: dyi cup-a-soup!
Veggie bouillon, zucchini, curried seitan, black rice noodles. Add boiling water, cover for 5 minutes, and it's all cooked and ready to go.

Looks very tasty. I love vegetarian food as well as food with meat. Only the cook has to be good to prepare a tasty meal and in my case leave out allergens

I haven't seen anything around here for Houston/Corpus Christy but I haven't had time to look, today.

I am contemplating a jaunt to the Dark Side . . . GIS boss brought this in for me to look at. It's his wife's so he can't negotiate but he told me to bring it home and look over it. I've loaded a 24 exposure roll of Fujifilm XTRA 400 to see how it performs. Batteries are dead so there's no meter but I can around that.

Well, the post States exactly what it is.
The device is a dehydrator. 5 racks that get rotated.

We have one that we have really used. Everything from jerky (beef and venison) to dried fruit and vegetables. The latest use is making sweet potato treats for our fur kid, she loves them. Easy to make and no harmful chemicals. Take a large sweet potato, microwave (depending on size) for a min or two. You want it soft enough to make slicing easy, but not soft. (microwaving them first gives them a nice color when dried). Slice to about about a 1/4" and put on the dehydrator. 1/4" slices make the treats more chewy, thinner makes them more like potato chips.

Never seen a dehydrator in my life.

Never heared the words "top round London broil" ... No idea what that means? Meat? Veggies?

"Asian BBQ Marinade" is what I can imagine, sweet curry with chilly or the like, mango possibly

This is the one we have, it's been a workhorse for several years. FD-61WHCK Food Dehydrator (6 Tray/Jerky Gun) | NESCO® We also have a sheet that fits the trays for fruit. The fruit is pureed then goes in the jerky gun to be squeezed out on the sheet. Very similar to the fruit rollups in the store.

We are obligate carnivores so only meat goes on ours

The Meatballsoup!

Frank, I went back in the thread but didn't see any posts or links on the recipe. I download a Bavarian Meatball Stew recipe that I think is similar, but I'm not sure. Care to share yours' or a link?

Thank you, Frank. It was quite tasty. I gave up all meat more than 20 years ago. I still eat some fish once in a while. My diet is mostly vegetarian. You probably wouldn't have been able to eat my soup, though, because seitan is made from vital wheat gluten, so it's probably on your no-no list. This particular seitan was store-bought, but I often make my own.

I have a dehydrator too. I used to use it a lot more, but space issues made it kind of a PITA, so in the past couple of years, I really don't use it nearly as much as I want to. Might be time to break it out. Those sweet potato treats sound yummy (not just for the cats, either! )

I've tried them, but they are way to bland for my taste. Sadie Mae loves them though. If I were making them for my own treat, I'd need to experiment some coatings, spices, etc. Hmmm just had an idea - Dried Sweet Potato treats with Red Hots and Marshmallows, that could work!!

See, I really like the taste of sweet potato all by itself. I'll often cut them up into thin slices or strips, just coat with enough olive oil to hold a bit of salt and pepper, and throw them in the oven for a while. I don't really have a sweet tooth, so the natural sugars in the potato are already enough to make them actually taste sweet to me.
