An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Green beans grow like crazy in my garden, so this year I decided to quick pickle a batch. I think they'll be tasty.

I’ve got some I should probably get off the bush last week.

Other than blanching and freezing idk what to do, what’s the recipe you used? I’m not a huge fan of vinegar lately though.

Blanching and freezing work great. I did that last year and will do it again this year.

I used this quick pickle recipe: https://www.spendwithpennies.com/quick-pickled-green-beans/ it is NOT SHELF STABLE. If you hold off a week I can report back on the taste. Just reply to this to remind me. Also, the recipe uses vinegar, but that's how most quick pickle recipes are.

If you can afford a canner and related supplies, here's a link with everything you need to know to do it right and safely: https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can bookmark that shiz.
