		<description><![CDATA[One thing I forgot to mention is that even though the stuff I bought was used, older, and has been superseded by more recent models, I did some research and the current models of the stuff I bought are *not* any better in terms of capabilities, they just do what they do faster (1-2 seconds [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When ice sublimates in a vacuum (that&#8217;s the process where by ice goes directly to water vapor without first melting), it requires heat (just like when you sweat and the sweat evaporates, the process of evaporation removes heat thereby cooling your body).  This causes the ice to get colder and colder until it&#8217;s so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was only running one tray this time.  I specifically didn&#8217;t add any heat, although I stirred the mixture roughly every two hours.  Total time to freeze dry was about 44 hours, including secondary drying.  I&#8217;m hoping to get the total elapsed time down to 24 hours including secondary drying.  Material [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, so I thought I would run another batch of freeze drying yesterday.  As some of you may remember, I currently use a blender to convert the ice cubes of pre-frozen material into a snow like powder.  Well, when running the blender, less of the ice melts if you pre-chill the blender container [...]]]></description>

Yes, yes&#8230;I know I have webbed toes&#8230;.shut the hell up.

		<description><![CDATA[Freeze drying is actually an expensive process, energy wise.  It consumes large amounts of energy to generate both the cold and the vacuum needed.  However, once you&#8217;ve got the vacuum and the cold, neither of these items are strongly tied to the amount of stuff you are freeze drying.  And the drying [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Or trailer trash scientist, call me which ever (I heard that ghetto is now considered a racist term, which is such total bullshit, ghetto is a financial/social slur, not a race slur, there&#8217;s lots o&#8217; white folk in the ghetto).  I&#8217;ve been running my freeze dryer.  It requires a cooling water supply to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not my fault though, I swear.  You see, ryeth normally posts about all the day to day things, so I don&#8217;t duplicate what she does.  That means I only post about unique goings on around our house (or scientific/social diatribes).  But, due to our fucked up patent system in America, if [...]]]></description>
