Garden Report & Frugal Living 23.08.05

I’m moving slower than a slug in a dried out summer garden. I water the potted plants and expect the rest to carry on.

The elderberry bushes are now in full bloom and the Autumn weather has set in. This afternoon I heard the little Executioner of Summer sit outside my window singing his sad song. The trees are definitely putting forth their Autumn attire in reds and yellows. So glancing back to the elderberry -- it will be a blossom harvest because there will not be enough time for the berries to mature and ripen. It has been a chillier Summer, even the hops that grow like rambunctious weeds were feign to put forth flowers; they just twindle and twine about without purpose.

The fruit trees have put on so much green new growth it is hard to see the fruit if there is any. A good Summer trim would be in order if I could drag a ladder about to mount and wack at them. Maybe tomorrow I can beg someone to do that for me.

Tomorrow I have decided I am going to pull the garlic in a ‘ready or not’ maneuver. I need to build up and amend the bed. I also still need to make a second harvest from the potato barrel. Did I tell you the peas are just starting to come up in the pots and some ravenous night marauder is mowing down the leek seedlings?

The blackberries are making a race to ripen. I’m not sure that they will make it with any sugar content due to the cold and eternal fog. I won’t write them off yet but keeping one eye on their progress since so many of them are still blooming!

In the pantry notes: I have found that frozen blueberries dehydrate faster than fresh. My thoughts are the skin of fruits and veg are there to protect the seed esp from dehydration BUT when they are frozen, it changes the structure of the cells/breaks down the fruit/veg which makes it less drying time.  I’m trying out my theory on frozen carrots that came in a big lot at a price half that of fresh. I’m sure I am reinventing the wheel here and experts have written about this, published and have made money on sharing this info but for you dear friends, you get to suffer through my benign ramblings all for the simple low price of a few eye rolls, perhaps a giggle and your blessed time. What a bargain!

The hens are confused at our dusk and dawn rampaging, the neighbors are quiet while we battle the skunks wanting to nest under our house. So far, they the skunks) are winning imo. I have a lovely food forest habitat surrounding the house that sits on post and piers. Yes gentle folk, it is the ammonia bomb season since I have gotten tired of shaking black pepper on everything everyday and doing big thumping loads of laundry at midnight. Doing some ‘bombing’ and buckets of water through the hedges will hopefully dislodge them (yes, there is 2).  I had a pair of garden gawkers arguing about the fire-of-eden so loudly I had to stick my head out the front door and inform them they were not far from the nesting skunk *snff*sniff*big eyes* whereas one of them informed me she likes the skunks because they eat rats.  Obviously this dear woman hasn’t chickens to protect nor a skunk spray under her bedroom in the middle of the night. But with that parting comment, they (the gawkers) left hurry-scurry ... and without the skunk! WAIT! Take the skunk with you since you love them! Please! Its free! Take it home with you!! Wait ... OoooOOo *big sigh of defeat*

Here’s hoping your days are skunkless and your Summer full of delicious Bounty!

Hello, friends.

I don’t know if you bake, but I do, and I’ve been experimenting with the cookie recipe of my dreams. What I know so far is that Pop Rocks don’t bake off well, and that steeping bacon-flavored coffee in browned butter makes the whole apartment smell like melted football.

What I’m looking for is a base recipe that will allow me to make the thiccest possible cookie.

I am not talking about spread. I do not want a cookie puddle, or some crispy/sandy nonsense. I want a chewy monstrosity larger than my fist. I want this thing to be the pxrn-star of cookies.

I want a TALL BOI with CHEW.

I want people to look at it and say, ‘Dude, that is an unnecessary amount of cookie. It is too much cookie.’

And I want to look them in the eye, unhinge my jaw, and take a bite of the cookie behemoth.

Pinterest has not helped me.

You are my only hope.

I’m assuming I’ll need a metric behonkus of baking soda, but like--any other tips? Advice? Family recipes?

H e l p.

Sourdough Culture

Having written up the ‘how-to’ of starting a sourdough culture, and the beginnings of a recipe set for it, I was asked about the nature of the sourdough starter. What’s going on in that jar of oozing, smelling, wonderful stuff? How does it work? Is it safe? And why did we stop using sourdough except rarely as a novelty flavor? I found it was time to do some research to answer some of those…

Stabby

This requires no context.

Alien: Human-Jeff, what is this... robot?

Jeff: Stabby the Space Roomba.

Alien: And... what does that mean... exactly..?

Jeff: My beloved.

Alien: It appears to be a circular vacuum robot with a... is that K'chra's kitchen knife?

Jeff: Don't tell her.

Alien: ...But why?

Jeff: Stabby.

Alien: ...

Alien: Agreed. I pledge allegiance to Stabby.

Jeff, muttering under his breath: ...to the United States of America. One nation, under god, someone help, why do I still remember this.

imagine eddie’s out of work because reefer rick got put away for good, and rick kept such a tight lid on his own supplier that eddie has no clue where to buy from now. he’s applied to a couple of jobs, but nobody’s gotten back to him yet. thankfully, his saving grace comes in the form of a flyer for someone seeking a babysitter.

enter single dad steve, who just needs someone to watch his five kids (and occasionally the miracle baby hopper-byers twins from nextdoor, because they’re best friends with his kids and refuse to be separated from them for longer than twelve hours) for a couple hours while he takes a much-needed nap every few days. he can’t keep asking their auntie robin and auntie vickie, after all. even if they’re more than willing to watch them, steve feels like it’s too big of an ask without payment, which they refuse to accept. and if the babysitter that responds to his flyer just so happens to be a very attractive guy whose guitar-playing and d&d skills are enough to captivate said children’s collective attention for those hours, well…that’s just an added bonus.

#steve’s immensely jealous of joyce and hopper because they have children who can go unsupervised for more than ten minutes at a time #make that five actually dustin and lucas’ science experiments have DEFINITELY lit the kitchen on fire in that amount of time #eddie’s never been one to back down from a challenge but. Oh What A Challenge It Is #poor steve just needs like. two more hours of sleep. which is probably the same amount he gets each night #stranger things #eddie munson #steve harrington #steddie #steve x eddie #robin buckley #vickie stranger things #robin x vickie #stranger things au #my prompt ! #feel free to use it tbh i’d love to see it

Did you know that you'd need to eat ~260,000 human teeth every second to fuel the Flux Capacitor?

Okay, so, the sources behind this beautiful statistic

As is stated a number of times by Doc Brown, the Flux Capacitor requires 1.21 gigawatts of power

According to a 2017 article by Science.org, eating all of someone's teeth would give an average of 36 calories [1]

The typical adult human will have 32 teeth, including their wisdom teeth. I don't know whether the 36 calorie statistic was taken with or without wisdom teeth, so I'm going to assume that it's with them. That way, we get a bigger number of teeth!

And the math!

Gigawatts are a bit frustrating to work with, because we can't just get a specific amount of teeth we'd need to eat to power it. Much like a 100 watt light bulb, that number is about how much energy it consumes every second of its operation, rather than a set quantity we need. And since it is stated that the time travel happens instantaneously (and looking at the frame-by-frame of the stop watches demonstrating the time travel shows that they are still synced, further showing this) [2], there is no time for the energy consumption to happen within. So whatever number of teeth it would take to fuel the Flux Capacitor via metabolic processes (assuming all of the calories a human would gain from digesting teeth are perfectly transferred into electrical energy and ignoring the energy cost associated with digesting the teeth in the first place) needs to be some rate of teeth / time.

So let's break it down unit conversion style

To turn that formula into plain English, we start by finding the energy each individual tooth has. If a set of them has 36 calories, and there are 32 in a set, then each tooth is 1.125 (36/32 -> 9/8) calories. By flipping that number, we are expressing that, for every calorie we wind up needing to run the flux capacitor, we will need 8/9ths of a tooth.

Next, we can convert the (food) calories into joules. They both measure the same thing--energy--and they're just different units for it. Similar to how feet and meters work. Joules are more useful for this formula, since joules and watts are easier to convert between, and the flux capacitor's energy requirements are measured in watts. Each calorie is 4184 joules, so we just convert between them.

Then we can covert the joules directly into watts! A joule is a watt second, meaning that something that consumes one watt of power for one second will have used a joule of energy. To use the example of the 100 watt lightbulb, if it was running for 1 second, it would use 100 joules. If it was running for 2 seconds, it would have used 200 joules. And so on.

(a watts * b seconds = a * b watt seconds = a * b joules)

Now that we've converted from calories to joules, and joules to watt seconds, we have:

The section on the right is splitting out the different aspects to make it slightly easier to understand. Essentially, this formula is saying that for every 4,707 watts of power we need, we must consume one tooth per second. That isn't a lot of teeth,,, yet. Unfortunately, 1.21 giga-watts is a lot of watts. 1.21 * 10^9 of them, to be precise. And after running that number through the calculator, we get a grand total of 257,064 teeth per second. But as we don't know the exact number of calories per teeth, it's safer to round up to ~260,000 teeth per second.

So, if Doc Brown built his DeLorean with the capacity to metabolize teeth at 100% efficiency, he would need to feed it around 260,000 of those enamelous little morsels every second to travel through time.

@just-jetfire said this meme fits Skyfire and I couldn't help myself I had to draw my silly nerd cause this fits him too well. Especially cause he's totally a radio show/podcaster guy who shares his scientific findings from around the galaxy to all 15 of his followers. x3

hiii absolutely love your sanuso posts & sometimes they make me write some of my own (on camels-pen, my sideblog)! I was wondering if you had any thoughts about Usopp cooking for Sanji? How often he would do it and the types of things he would make for him?

Awwww, thank you so much!! I'm so glad I can inspire you <33 I love your posts too, by the way!!

I think Sanji is surprised when Usopp offers to help him cook the first time because he doesn't think the sniper knows how to do it, but after so much time taking care of himself, he doesn't only know the basics, but he's pretty much a decent cook. He's not Sanji, but his meals have a very domestic/homecooked taste that Sanji loves. So I think they often cook together. That way they can spend even more time together.

However, I think Usopp offers himself to cook for Sanji a lot whenever Sanji is exhausted or has to rest. Whenever he's sick, Usopp is the one cooking for the crew and he brings the food to the sickbay for Sanji. And when Sanji is just... Tired. He cooks too. And by 'tired' I mean 'emotionally/psychologically' exhausted because he's always pushing himself too far even if he's having the most horrible of days. Usopp doesn't let him cook, then, and does it for him so he can have a day off at least.

And as per the things he'd cook for him... I am not sure since I literally know nothing about cooking, but I think most of the things Usopp knows how to make are dishes his mom and the people in Syrup Village taught him. And the presentation might not be the most beautiful thing ever, but Sanji loves whatever Usopp cooks every time because it tastes like home. He also knows how to cook some sweets and cookies because he used to do it with Kaya whenever he could sneak into her house.

#usopp cooking for sanji might be one of my favorite things #i think usopp is good at cooking bc he says it's just like mixing stuff to make bombs lmao #'cooking is just like science you can eat' local scientist says to calm his boyfriend down bc he's worried abt his kitchen blowing up #one piece #black leg sanji #usopp #sanuso

Lavender is one of the classic English cottage garden flowers. With all this lavender around, let’s take a look at this elegant garden plant’s culinary and medicinal uses. Fresh lavender buds stirred into batter for cakes, cookies, and scones gives the treats a special flavour. I also like to add a sprig of lavender to my English-style black tea with milk. There are a lot of claims about lavender’s medical uses but only a select few hold up under medical research - easing anxiety and insomnia, and helping fight fungal infections and heal wounds. The chemicals in lavender also help repel clothes moths. The same chemicals give lavender its appealing scent, particularly the S-linalool molecule.

We gave them life and they use it!

Since they don't question their existence and simply assimilate it based on the false memories we collectively implanted on them. They ain't that different from you and I if you and I could teleport and shit, what I mean is that as any living being they must eat and sleep be able to hold conversations and have aspirations.

What you think they dream about?
