Not only is everything better it happened so fast. Hopefully it starts spreading elsewhere

I was thinking saying that expecting precision from a natural product is a fools errand. So embrace the imperfection and go crazy

I was a professional chemist for around ~7 and love to cook. My suggestion is to stop expecting precision with an imprecise and natural product like cooking. Are your lemons larger? They also might be sweeter, tarter, juicer etc. than others. Same thing with teaspoons. The spices you are using may be more or less concentrated than who wrote it.

Lean into the uncertainty and be free. Double or even triple spices to see if you like it. Measure with your heart

If you want to attract beneficial insects you should buy some parsley. It’s attracts beneficial insects and supposedly hides the scent of other plants.

It attracts pollinators as well. There’s no point buying bugs if you don’t have anything to feed them. Just buy a parsley plant and then you can use it as well

Typical double click request is as follows:

Manager: Leadership wants a “double click” on the numbers on slide 8.
Doer: What do they want to see.
M: Well they wanted to see more about the numbers on slide 8 they thought it was interesting.
D: What number? Interesting how?
M: They want a double click? Does that work? How long will that take?
D: ummm a week?

Because it’s new and awful. Also implies that these massive new work is just a simple tasks. 0/10

Different kind of crypto nerd but still

Don’t forget that their ads have a section about adding it to your amazon cart. Its awful

That was my thought. Blanching in my mind is quick and won’t work for this. There some protein / enzyme that needs to be deactivated. They weren’t crispy but still had some texture. It was great.

I heated some butter in a pan and added the fiddleheads and then put in ~1/4 cup of water in my pan and covered with a lid. They then steamed for ~5 minutes. So I don’t know if you would call that blanching but steaming. They need to be boiled or steamed from 5-8 minutes according to my foraging book. So I think blanching which in my mind is a quick boil won’t cook them enough. They are mildly poisonous unless cooked like lots of wild plants.

They worth the wait. For both the flavor and the novelty of it. Very fun to harvest and eat

I’m in the packing my yard with so many things that I can use from edimentals like my ostrich ferns, cut flowers, pollinators, medicinals, herbs and vegetables. You can really pack them in

I can’t wait to eat all of the soybeans and yellow corn #2 that they can’t export out.

I’ve moved a few already last year. I’ve had some pretty good luck moving them in the spring as well. i think I’ll move my largest again this fall. There’s some that haven’t even come up I think

I have a whole other shade spot that could use some.

Exactly. They have wanted to kill public media since the Reagan administration.

Congrats Pope Bob!!!

Matt Baume did a great job talking about the last PBS was trying to be canceled.

Please don’t choke people during sex even consenting people. If you need the sensation just put your hands on their collarbone and don’t actually cut off their windpipe.

After reading some kink books that give detailed instructions about how to suspend people, to give people piecing, fake cutting people as well as convince your sub that you have a loaded gun in their mouth with the disclaimer about how dangerous choking is really puts in perspective. There are tools to safely cut off air supply don’t choke someone

I loved my EEEPC. I used while study abroad before smartphones were common. It was great to carry on me at all times. If I needed directions or to check on a website I would sit at a café / restaurant / bar to have a coffee / wine / beer to grab the wifi. It was great and small enough that I could carry it open if needed. I loved it. I thought it was the future until the iPad took over

My wife also has a better sense of smell then me. We don’t fight about it but I have spent a bunch of time trying to find the phantom smell.

She’s pregnant now and her super smell is even more potent. So I had to do a lot of kitchen cleaning and I had to a lot of cooking. It’s a thing for sure
