For some reason I can’t add this to the main post, but here’s the pie and ice cream before serving.
Just a rock-licker who loves all things sci-fi, boardgames, and growing my own food, especially heirloom tomatoes.

I love these comics, I always know at least one of the words (and therefore get to feel smart), and learn some new ones with cute illustrations.
I completely agree. Every so often I get an itch to have a look at Reddit, and though the niche subs still seem alright, the comments of anything near the front page are beleaguered with low-quality jokes and karma grabs.
God forbid you’re actually interested in discussing the subject, any comment that takes more than a few seconds to write or read gets buried under a thousand others like your first examples.
Rosemary chips actually sound pretty good, never seen that in the US.
I’ll confess I do this with some regularity. If I unwrap a piece of cheese and see it’s moldy, well I’m not tossing a nice hunk of aged gouda in the trash! I’ll slice the mold off, then do a sniff and nibble test. If it still tastes moldy, keep slicing until it doesn’t.
I’ve done this since I was a kid, so who knows if it’s actually safe, or if I’ve just spent decades rolling the dice and getting lucky.
Maybe we need more Christmas songs that are suitable to gloom of Seasonal Effective Disorder.
Yes, 100%. I’d like to see more songs about the dark cold that sucks rather than pretend with “merry and bright.”
Maybe a beef belly cut that’s been smoked and thinly sliced, similarly to regular bacon?
Greg Alder’s Yard Posts is a guy who posts every Friday about growing food in southern California. His climate is pretty similar to mine and his advice was a huge help when I was figuring out the timing for growing a garden. He’s also super knowledgeable when it comes to growing avocados, if that’s your thing.
Somehow, I can tolerate “jpheg” much easier than the forsaken “jif.”
I’m a geologist, but not the fun kind that gets to look at actual rocks.
I do environmental and some geotechnical work, which pretty much boils down to “Is the dirt poisoned?” and “How hard do I have to squish the dirt to make the future building not fall down?” There’s few things to get excited about, but it’s steady work and pays the bills.
I’ve come to learn your brain is really good at subconscious processing of things that don’t quite make it to conscious awareness. Some part of your brain saw the cop and the deer and was trying to alert the rest of you.
I had that happen once when I was out hiking alone doing geology research. I reached this area of the woods and was suddenly overwhelmed by this feeling of TIME TO LEAVE. I tried arguing with myself that there was still enough daylight to check out an outcrop I could see in the distance, but the feeling got so powerful, I finally gave in and called it quits for the day.
I realized while walking out, that with all the little noises of the quail and other animals I’d been hearing all day, that spot in the woods had been silent. The next time I visited the area (and not alone this time), I found a cave right behind where I’d been standing, with fresh mountain lion tracks. Who knows, some part of me might have seen a mountain lion in that cave and was doing everything it could to tell me to get the fuck away!
Shaken, not purred.
Why thank you! There’s a few “genres” of cooking and baking that I know well enough to freestyle, and a lot of it is just tasting and knowing how to balance if you’ve gone too far in one aspect or another.
Like for example, I wouldn’t normally make this with corn in it, but I’d tossed a bunch of jalapenos in with the pork that had turned extra spicy with heat stress from a recent heatwave in my area. So in tasting the stew, I decided it was overly spicy, and dumping in a half cup of corn took the spice down a notch.
Hah, I’m not planning anything until I’ve actually got tomatoes! But I’ll probably be easting these fresh, as I’ve got lots of canned sauce, and good fresh ones would be a treat in the middle of winter.
I bought an older version of these lights a couple years back. They do well enough for starting seedlings, but I need to devise a better method for raising and lowering them, as the pulley they come with is fiddly to adjust in the storage rack I’m using.
I’m probably going to upgrade to something beefier once these guys outgrow the seedling stage.
I drove from southern California to Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico for it!
Yep, I bought the telescope for $70 and separate solar filter for $20. Can dm links if you’re interested.
They’re also at the lowest drainage point for that whole valley. Plus, the properties of the lakebed make it so that water is very slow to soak into the ground, so it’s going to take a while for things to dry out.
You’re right, they’re just making a joke, as till also refers to how farmers prepare soil for planting crops.
