Not too odd or anything, but Chickies Rock is a cool geologic feature and it creates a high up lookout over the Susquehanna. I'd like to check out the petroglyphs in the river sometime too. I'll have to keep thinking!

Comment on Who tried beetroot? in ~food
joeglen Link ParentI too have a garden bed full of beets that need harvesting! What do you do with your pickled beets? And how do you store your beets long term? Ive only ever done in fridge, sealed container,...I too have a garden bed full of beets that need harvesting! What do you do with your pickled beets? And how do you store your beets long term? Ive only ever done in fridge, sealed container, leaving the dirt on but trim the leaves. I've left mine in the ground since I don't have the space to store them or the appetite to eat them all at once

There's a lot of extraneous plastic use we could cut down on, and keep things plastic that actually benefit from that. Or as you say, some plastic alternatives. It's an incredible material!
It's similar in a way to lightbulbs: LEDs require many more elements than do regular tungsten filament bulbs, but the trade off is that LEDs last so so much longer, that the need to mine for more materials at least reduces waste into landfills.
The world is very interdependent and heavily carbon-based!

joeglen Link ParentCan you talk about the benefit of switching to presumably (non-recyclable) plastic bags/nozzle from (very recyclable) glass bottles? Obviously we make gains in terms of shipping more efficiently,...Can you talk about the benefit of switching to presumably (non-recyclable) plastic bags/nozzle from (very recyclable) glass bottles? Obviously we make gains in terms of shipping more efficiently, but this trade off still requires additional carbon input it seems?

I have been busy with teaching, so I've been very absent 😅 so, something I'll hopefully get back to working on in a few weeks

Comment on ADHD diagnoses are surging among older Americans in ~health.mental

I thought I maybe had ADHD, but that was usually blown off by people in my life: "everybody feels that way." Except it kept me from functioning and doing my work. Taking Rx has been really helpful in feeling like I can function, though it's not a total panacea. I too wonder how my life or others' would have turned out differently with a diagnosis much earlier on.

A few things I can think of off the top of my head:
-
Fresh ground black pepper
-
Fresh ground nutmeg
-
whole spices in general; I like to toast them first then grind to add to baked goods--I've been making pfeffernusse which has a lot of winter warming spices in it
-
molasses, but mostly because it let's me make brown sugar when I need it
-
kewpie mayo
-
Various chili crisps--I've been using a Momofuku one that has a citrus note to it which I've been enjoying a lot
-
vanilla paste instead of vanilla extract, in part because you get those pretty specs of vanilla in light colored uses
-
Lemon/lime zest in addition to citrus juice in recipes
-
Various fruit cheongs to add in to recipes but especially drinks
-
I'm allergic to garlic so I've been trying to use hing/asafoetida as a substitute, TBD on how it's going though.
-
One of the big ones was just using fresh veggies/fruit from when I worked on a farm: we grew varietals bred for taste, and lots of different leaves for spring mix. That was a cool way to make something like salad more interesting for people
-
I made a bunch of preserved lemons when I could buy them cheaply, but I'm honestly not totally sure how to use them most effectively.
On a similar note, a zester is a special kitchen tool I really find helps a lot! An immersion blender too

Something easy, not fragile, that will improve the coffee you make (or make your coffee habit potentially cheaper, if you buy a cup every morning). Drinking coffee that tastes good is a nice thing in life

I had initially only heard of this term in reference to a group via this animation from Meat Canyon. I am reluctant to post it since it is a lot. NSFW. But fascinating to watch with context. Enjoy at your own risk
