[pct-l] Dehydrating Food

[csx at schizoaffective.org (csx@schizoaffective.org)]

Some stuff like plain dehydrated veggies last almost forever.  I think the
oldest stuff I have around is 1 or two years old but I really think it's best to
use up the stuff within 6-9 months.  Dehydrated food can be stored in the fridge
or the freezer.
