Hi Jewel,

Florida is so hot this time of year it is really unbearable. I don't think I could sun-dried 
anything here because it is so darn humid! Besides if I put anything out in the sun to dry it would 
get eaten by bugs and lizards.  I can always fry an egg just by putting it on the pavement. Ha ha ha
