I thought Gandy (did I get it right, today? is the only guy you have, little did I know that you have another, (Carrib?) Is his tail as long as Gandy's? How many more of theses guys do you have?
That definitely is a smart and efficient way to store up pumpkins. I noticed that the pumpkin somewhat lost its color after dehydrating it and grinding, does it regain that color when rehydrated?
@audreybits, yes, thank you, you got Gandi's name right. We have three Macaws. There is Carribe, a blue and gold, who is 20 and has the longest tail feathers of the three. Then there is Bravo, who is also a Blue and Gold. Bravo's tail isn't as long as Gandi's. Finally there is Gandi, and you have seen him. Bravo is 17 and Gandi is going to be 10 on his next birthday,
When the pumpkin powder is re-hydrated the color comes back very well. I think it looks lighter when powdered because powdering breaks the bits up very small so they look lighter.
Thanks for your lovely comments and I hope to see you again in my next video. Cheers!
Macaws are usually so colorful and yours definitely aren't short of that beautiful colors... Gandi is the youngest and he happens to be my favorite...😀
Oh, I get it now.... The break up must be the reason. Preserving food always is a labor of love, one needs a great deal of patience and love to get through with that. And you have them! 😊
@audreybits, thank you for your lovely comments. So glad you like Gandi, he is my favorite as well (but don't tell the other guys). Gandi and I bonded immediately when we first saw each other. I had never had a Macaw companion before, and apparently he felt a kindred spirit in me.
As far as the preserving, it is a labor of love, as you said, but it can also be addictive. I can't imagine my life without food preservation in it. It certainly makes meal preparation so much easier. Cheers!
