#1: What's new?
New batch of dried pears!
And especially special for Passover, my one-and-only dehydrated Charoset!
Dried New York State apples:
Ashkenazic charoset: with layer of walnuts, raisins, cinnamon/spices, and grape-juice.
Sephardic charoset: with layer of almonds, apricots, dates, sunflower seeds, and grape-juice.
No sugar added! No sulfites nor preservatives!
What is Charoset? (Not pronounced "ch" as in chess, but pronounced "ch" as in chutzpah" although some folks say charoses or haroset.)
The word is derived from the Hebrew word for clay ("cheres")
Charoset is a fruit and nut chopped mix, symbolizing the mortar and brick used in construction of structures during enslavement in Egypt, prior to being freed by the prophet, Moses.
Charoset is not cooked, typically, and it has to be refrigerated. However, I dehydrate the ingredients, so my charoset can be eaten anytime! (and on the go, kinda like matzah!)
#2. When to see moi next?
Answer: This weekend!
Bring yourself and your pup down for free samples! Both locations are dog-friendly!
On Saturday at Public Lands/Dick's Sporting Goods
The Melville store is hosting a 2024 camping prep-course! There's free high quality coffee and samples of their instant-camping meals. I'm curious!
Sign up here for the free event!
(noon to 2pm is the event) Or just come by un-announced to see me!
And Sunday, there's going to be a lot of vendors at the Huntington Indoor Market! So many, that the even will be partially outdoors! Nice!

SPACE FOOD!
Food science factoids new for this newsletter
I'm working on my HACCP plan for my products ("Hazardous Analysis Critical Control Points), which might not sound the most exciting, but if I call it "SPACE FOOD" it sounds way more interesting!
I will try to do a deeper dive in another newsletter, but in the meantime, the history of HACCP is quite amazing. HACCP originated in the space program in the early 1960s by Pillsbury in cooperation with NASA and the US Army Natick Laboratory. (nothing to do with current space race with the CCP: Chinese Communist Party :-)
What originated as a means to solve a problem for keeping astronauts from getting food poisoning, turned into a methodology/practice in food manufacturing quality assurance/control to keep all Americans from getting food poisoning! (Yet another example of the benefits of investing in NASA.)
Stay tuned for a follow up on HACCP!
Some kitschy logos I made for a DIY retail display... which intentionally looks like a rocket, as well as my new factory showroom DIY signage:
This "DIY" seems to be a theme...
