So I've managed to end up with two Costco-sized containers of Kraft grated parmesan. I'll reach for real parmesan 95% of the time, with Kraft being an occasional nostalgia pick, but these will go bad long before I can get through them at my normal consumption. The containers are both opened, so can't donate and I'm loathe to waste food, so been trying to think of ways to use it all up.
These sad, dense, salt pucks (with a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning) were an attempt to make parmesan crisps. Thinking of trying again with smaller spoonfuls spread thinner, but don't know if the cellulose additive makes the endeavor hopeless.

Beer was from a bar where the Tall Ship Providence is docked, which even down rigged was pretty cool to see.

It's fun to see them hybridize, a few years back I grew standard green tomatillos, followed the next year by some purple and yellow varieties in the same spot. I haven't purposefully planted them since, but these multicolor volunteers keep coming back. This year I'm seeing two distinct growth patterns, with some staying low to the ground and others getting quite tall.
Posting in case this helps someone else. This Leaps and Bounds cherry toy was the very first toy I bought for her as a kitten, and she must have imprinted on it, as six years later it is still the ONLY toy she will play with.
They're rather fragile, easy to crush if stepped on, and fall apart after a few months of regular play. Knowing how much she loved them I would grab spares whenever I could, but a few years ago they went out of stock and didn't come back.
Every time I brought out a fresh cherry from the dwindling stash she would get SO excited, so I searched high and low, desperate to find more. If you read the reviews on Petco, there's other people with cats who've fixated on these cherries, and I found similar threads on Reddit.
It's been years, but I still search semi-regularly, and imagine my joy when I realized they were back in stock! Stupidly, it's listed as part of a random assortment, so I decided to order 100 of them, hoping for a third to be cherries but happy to get any at all.
32 pairs - 64 cherries! A lifetime supply of her favorite toy for my picky little baby <3
Was my first time canning beans, had a bit of syphoning but otherwise went well!
I couldn't figure out the limb positions on the stripper, and the more I looked, the more obvious this is AI. Funny idea, too bad it's generated slop.
Well that's sad, but understandable.
This feels worse.
In 2016, I could at least rationalize that some people were voting for an outsider, a "billionaire" who promised to fight corruption in D.C. Anyone paying attention could see he was an immoral dipshit who was corrupt himself, but I could understand how he won.
Now? We've all had years to see who he is, and if that wasn't enough, to see his rapid mental decline. This time I don't understand.
That makes sense, he was really undersized compared to the rest.
Somehow, I can tolerate "jpheg" much easier than the forsaken "jif."
Shaken, not purred.
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.
Man that wiki page is a trip, what a crazy life.
Varies depending on the site, sometimes it's gasoline, or solvents, or heavy metals or PFAS. As for how it happens, accidental or deliberate releases. I've found military documents from the 50s that say the official place to dispose of used motor oil was a pit they'd dug in the ground.
It's pretty depressing, but the fact that soil and groundwater are almost certainly contaminated anywhere that humans have touched. I've seen all kinds of places from gas stations, to dry cleaners, to mines, to fire stations, to military bases, to schools, to hydroelectric plants, the list could go on, and every last one of them had poison in the ground.
Everyone knows that cats are liquid, but I think they also exhibit gaseous properties, in that they are capable of expanding to fill any available space. No matter how large the bed, it will never be enough.
