And it's a snowball effect, it just kind of takes off after awhile. I highly recommend visiting a farmers market, maybe hook up a CSA after you get a handle on a favorite grower. A big deal for us was getting one that delivered direct to us. Made it a no-brainer. Oh, and the best thing we've done is purchase a dedicated freezer (upright type is best) to stockpile the good stuff. It works awesome for meats, fruits and some veggies. Kate,

I plan to bring some on my next venture. And it's not all that bad if you make it yourself and don't add a bunch of preservatives and salt. I would be interested in hearing about your recipes. I am planning to try adding a little hickory salt next time. Steve- Beef jerky is a perfect plane food. I plan to bring some on my next venture.

I remember one birthday that you got homemade chocolate chip cookies from my sister and I. I love this website. You two seem to live the life that Roger and I strive for, but in Virginia (Norfolk) it is very hard. Our biggest contributions are walking to and from work/school and buying meat from a local butcher. We keep on trying. I hope, and am sure, you enjoyed your beef jerky.

Beef jerky is one of those dirty secrets of mine, that I **love**. You've put it back on the map. so I am off to get some suitably raised and slaughtered beef and try it. Sounds to me like good food to bring on an airplane ride! Just bring enough for your seat mates! ;-) Amy: Thanks for the recipe. Beef jerky is one of those dirty secrets of mine, that I **love**.

Donna - fish sauce is an ingredient used in Thai cooking. It would say that it's not required for this recipe, just add a little more soy. Tracy - let me know how your jerky turns out…

One question -- what is fishsauce? I'm not familiar with that. Thanks! BTW, are you going to the flatbread class next weekend?

Thank you for the reminder and the suggestion to make it in the oven. I've always used a dehydrator with success but using the oven seems like a no brainer. You've inspired me to make a batch this weekend. Take care, Tracy Hi Amy,
