Yes, but they are very expensive. Kale chips are about 8 time more expensive than potato chips. The crackers I make are better than Mary's crackers and for a small box those are $4.99. The date candy like I make is also quite expensive already made. They do not make tamales without lard or crisco (fatty oils).

The kale chips are done after being in the dehydrator for just 5 hours. Crispy and delicious. Practicing for the Super Bowl party.

Looks like the crackers will need to go till morning, when they will be crispy.
They are scored so the will break into 1" squares.

Thanks for link Drew, I would have been lost without that and not the sort of name to do a random Google search.
Do you call the reflective lane markers "cats eyes" ? Percy Shaw, the man who invented them, was by all accounts quite a character who's hometown was not far from where I used to live.
Wiki says this of him "He became eccentric in later life, removing the carpets and much of the furniture from his home, and keeping four televisions running constantly. One luxury was his Rolls-Royce Phantom. He never married and he died from cancer and heart disease at Boothtown Mansion, Halifax, where he had lived for all but two of his 86 years. Despite rumours of a personal fortune, his personal estate was admitted to probate in December 1976 at a value ｣193,500."
What wiki doesn't say is why he took the carpets out of his house. He would often invite people around to his house after the pub had closed. Once they had drunk his beer, eaten his food and gone home, the inside of the house could then be cleaned out with a jet of water. The tv's were all in the same room - 4 was enough to keep an eye on every single tv station in England at the time !

Good morning all, just on freezing this morning.
So far the wren hasn't touched any food I've put out. I have no meal worms to give, although I'm surprised it hasn't been tempted by the small fatty pellets. Must be one of Don's followers and not interested in junk bird food.

50 and blowing mist, hard rain to come as it creeps up to 54. It's been too warm for the wood stove, so not as easy to shake the dampness off after a walk about. The TV weather lady promises we'll get below freezing again Saturday. It will have been 18 days since the prior freeze, in January.
Eric, we buy the dried mealworms and sprinkle a handful on the front porch each day. The wrens have been roosting under my shelter above the wood splitter in an old phoebe nest that sits on top of a hanger I made for our chest waders. Two of them fluff up to keep warm all night, and are about the first birds to wake up and hunt.
Don, your snacks look great! I'm slowly coming around to kale...mostly in the form of slaw. Ate a helping of collards last night, which took some spicing up to get them down.
Myla chipped a tooth, so try to get into the dentist this morning. Our former dentist retired, so this will be her first visit. I went last month, and liked the new lady. Then take her out for a rainy day lunch and grocery/Costco trip.
