Jody!  Now that you are back in Florida, could you not sun dry your tomatoes?

I have a dehydrator too.  I just love dried tomatoes.  I get a dry  tomatoe like Italians and slice 
them really thin.  Then I sprinkle oregano and garlic powder on them.  they come out like chips and 
are so good.  I love dried apples with cinnamon and sugar and bananas.
