Lunch is a tomato sandwich with the last tomato from my neighbor’s garden. Picked weeks ago when it was fully green, and it finally ripened.
I may have been wrong about the last tomato! I just went out and checked the neighbor’s vines (which I’m suprised he hasn’t torn down already) and found all these with potential.

Hm. Nothing for size reference. They are smaller than they look in that photo.

DW spent the first Fall/Winter that we dehydrated tomato slices eating them as snacks. We did quite a few batches.

The flavor was just fine, however I found them much too coarse for snacking. DW is someone who really likes potato chips but I'm just so-so on them. Now, a tortilla chip with artichoke & jalapeño dip, I like that.

Two years since the tomato dehydrating, she hasn't shown any interest in doing more of them :hu .

Thanks, @digitS' and @Finnie and @Dahlia !!! :hugs:hugs:hugs
All I know about dehydrating with my family is this:
1) DH is the one who first bought a dehydrator and wanted/has since done beef jerky with it.
2) DH and 2 DD's love beef jerky, me, not so much
3) I was gifted a used cheapo dehydrator about a decade ago, and I burned it up dehydrating hot peppers.
4) I only really used dehydrated peppers and I have an old coffee bean grinder that I use to pulverize them for cooking
5) DH now owns a top of the line dehydrator, an Excalibur with 6 trays and that amount seems to be sufficient for our uses
So, M a y b e,
I need to pulverize them for cooking, OR, rehydrated them in tomato sauces.
Any more thoughts about using them is Greatly Appreciated!!
