Thanks for the tip on the pumpkin powder. I think I'll try that. That might be nice as a thickener for sauces in stir fries too...might be a tad sweet...but can see it in a thai style dish - going for the hot-sweet-sour-salty mix. Hmmmmmmm....now you have my mind racing to other ideas.
Thanks again. And lucky for me, I got my Mom's dehydrater and all the attachments after she passed....had to go looking for it...but eventually found it. And I even know where it is since my move last year. LOL
