Mignon Fogarty	3 days ago In response to this post Dehydrated Food Update — More Info Two things: 1. The precooked sweet potato chips retained their crunch better than the raw slices. After the chips had cooled for a couple of hours, the precooked chips were definitely crunchier. 2. Even though I rubbed oil over the trays, the banana chips stuck in places. So if you try this, be sure to oil every little spot; those banana chips are sticky. (No similar problem with the sweet potato chips.) Likes: 0 Replies: 0 Boosts: 1
Mignon Fogarty	4 days ago Dehydrated Food Update The banana slices and sweet potato strips were still chewy after 10 hours at 158 degrees, so I let them go another 10 hours overnight at 95 degrees, and now they are crunchy. I can't discern any real difference between the precooked and raw sweet potatoes. If I "squint," the precooked ones might be a tiny bit crunchier, but it's not a dramatic difference. I shook a little salt over the sweet potatoes before dehydrating, but they could use more. Dehydrated Food Update — More Info Two things: 1.

Mignon Fogarty	5 days ago If you love true crime, you'll love this week's Grammar Girl interview with Natalie Schilling, a forensic linguist, talking about what she calls "the case of the mystery dialect": A girl disappears and a woman turns up later claiming to be the missing girl — but has an unusual accent that doesn't fit. How does a linguist approach this problem? It's fascinating stuff!

Mignon Fogarty	1 week ago This is a cool story about a college sophomore doing linguistics research on Jhar, a largely undocumented language spoken in Nigeria. He's sending recordings back and forth with native speakers using WhatsApp. https://www.syracuse.edu/stories/aaron-lener/ Likes: 0 Replies: 0 Boosts: 1
