Re: catnip

Might also consider looking at garage sales for one of those food dehydrators that were "must haves" a few years ago.

The baby socks are a great idea, Zem. I was wondering what would be a good

work that well any more.

I spread a light layer of leaves on a folded paper towel and give it 2
minutes at high.
If it still feels a bit limp I give it another half minute. I have tried
larger bunches but
they don't come out so well. This way the leaves just drop right off with a
good tap,
but if I have several layers the leaves stick to the stems and are harder to
separate.
One thing to watch out for I learned the hard way. The paper towel underlay
was
a bit larger than the turntable and it shifted a bit so that it hung up
against the side
and didn't turn. I didn't notice until it burst into flames. No real harm
done, but
it could have been a problem if I had not been right there. So now I am sure
to keep
the paper smaller than the turntable.

How long to you "cook" it in the microwave. I'm sure
mine would love some. I buy baby socks for stuffing with dried catnip, and
they work great. I just throw them away (or wash them in the washing
machine)
when they get dirty. I found a small juice glass is just the right size for
filling the socks. I put one of the socks inside the glass then fold the
top back over the outside of the glass and pour in some catnip. I leave
enough
sock to tie a knot in the top
