Oof, our tax money is definitely funding a lot of medieval bills :(

I feel that with the brassicas too. Your flowers are amazing looking though!

Apologies, I did not see your reply sooner! I basically cut the tomatoes into quarters along with an onion and bell pepper(s) plus halved jalapenos/any other peppers depending on how spicy you want it. Add a head of garlic too with the top cut off. Spread all of these veggies on a foiled cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and roast in the oven at ~450F for 20-30 min until the edges start to brown. Then let it cool a little and blend it up, adding lime/lemon juice, salt, pepper, cumin, and cilantro to taste.

What’s nice is you can roast whatever you have on hand, and it comes out slightly different each time. You can jar it for longer storage as well :)

Roasted green tomato salsa is excellent

Was also going to comment that song!

Not in my experience, tho I usually toast it before I eat it anyways

That’s very cool! Chemistry was always my most difficult subject (biology major). We use acetanilide at work as standard reference material for stable isotope analysis of particulate organic matter (e.g., phytoplankton/marine snow), basically as a quality check since it has similar carbon and nitrogen signatures. Always excited to learn interesting science facts! :)

Totally random and off-topic, but I like your username. Was literally looking up how potentially toxic acetanilide is the other day when we received a small shipment of it at work. Do you have a fun origin story for your username or any fun facts about the substance?

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR INTENT!

Your hair looks awesome btw!! I hope you are living your best life <3

Orangutans are solitary for most of their lives

And he’s not even anatomically correct!

What happened to Leslie?

Sorry your post reminded me of this

Look up slime molds. Suuuuper interesting stuff, they are often regarded as an early model of evolution from single-celled to multi-celled organisms

Rhode Island isn’t really an island. Like, yeah it’s named after one of its islands, but people who live in the state are on the continental part. I thought the whole state was an island lmao

I think they are referring to the measuring spoons used for dry ingredients. In middle school home ec class, we were told to never use dry measuring tools for liquids and vice versa, the teacher implied that the measurement would be different

Serious question: what’s up with the whole shower beer thing? I have definitely had a beer in the shower a few times in my life, which could be described as rock bottom or a really fun crazy night…

Is it essentially glass-of-wine-in-the-bathtub selfcare?

slaps top of bathtub this bad boy can fit so much spaghetti in it

How important is it to link/provide the original source? I have saved many great memes and such but would be majorly inconvenienced in trying to find the OP
