Sweet Potatoes!

Some of you may know that dehydrated sweet potatoes are our FAVORITE treats. Mommy has been buying these for us for awhile. Recently, she got the idea to make them herself. How hard could it be, she wondered...after all, they are just dehydrated sweet potatoes.

A couple of weeks ago, Mommy made the leap and bought a food dehydrator, and last night she got the urge to try out her new appliance. Well, she had a little motivation...we were completely out of sweet potato treats and dog food so she was going to have to stop by the dog store on her way home today. She thought if she could get the sweet potatoes done, she wouldn't need to buy them.

Mommy cut up the sweet potatoes, blanched them in the microwave (luckily there were instructions for "blanching" that came with the dehydrator), filled three trays with sweet potatoes, and plugged it in. The book said it would probably take about 10 hours so Mommy let it run overnight.

Mommy was very excited to see the results so she woke up bright and early (well, she actually got up at her normal time). She went downstairs and opened the lid, and the results were definitely not what she expected. Mommy forgot to turn ON the dehydrator! It's a mistake that could happen to anyone (at least that what Bella and I told her to make her feel better).

Lucky for us, Mommy was able to pick us up some treats on her way home, which we enjoyed after dinner.

Best position to eat a sweet potato treat...butt in the air.

It normally takes Bella a lot longer to eat her treat, and sometimes I'm able to sneak in and get her's, too.

She finally gives up and lets me have it.

We have to check the floor for crumbs.

After we are done, it's time to get a drink.

Daddy is on his way to Thailand today (the last post was wrong...Mommy said he was going to China). More proof for Daddy that Mommy doesn't listen to him.
