Prepping Aloe in Southern California
The last place I lived in California had a gigantic aloe plant growing on the front porch. This is a big hunk of it I ripped off to prepare.
This was the place owned by a hoarder lady and she had no idea what aloe even was.
I showed a piece of this aloe by my old cheap phone to show the scale.
And here is all that aloe trimmed and now about to drain out the goop overnight.
Even though this was a very hard place to live, I ate good there. The gel from this aloe would go into the next week's smoothies I was making.
