If you scroll down on the privacy and security policy, there is a section that says they record you with audio and video while you are in their stores and parking lots and provide that to advertisers, partners, subsidiaries, and law enforcement. Your reaction to the original commenter feels a little extreme.

~4 hours iirc? Made these a couple months ago so I do not remember exactly. The test I like to use is pick them up on one end with my tongs and "bounce" them - if they split a little along the skin then they're ready.

I have not read Krogers security and privacy policy, but if Kroger was recording me without my consent and providing that to advertisers I would like to know. So I appreciate the initial commenter bringing this to our attention. Also even if this behavior is prevalent, I don't think it should be dismissed.

That's fucked. Hope you land on your feet friend.

All things considered - we're very happy with how our garden is going! It's me and my wife's first year gardening, combined with a horrible drought in our area and limited free time to work on it we had very low expectations. So basically anything feels like a win! We've gotten a million cucumbers, eggplants and beets, a smattering of tomatoes/beans/peppers, and a huge crop of winter squash coming in. We feel like we're learning a ton, and already have some ideas for what we want to do differently next year!

Lemmy ;)

Valid! We also should not have let the tomatoes get so leggy, but we're doing what we can with what we got :)

Just finished the Food Lab by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, and I really loved it! There are plenty of recipes in it, but it is more focused on techniques and the "why" behind a lot of things. I'd also recommend his YouTube channel super heavily.

What types of peppers do you have there?

In the pic we've got 2 types of indeterminate tomatoes, eggplant, and a couple flowers. The tomatoes and eggplant will go in a raised bed along with some transplants, and I'm thinking I'll try the florida weave to trellis the tomatoes. But we're just so happy to have anything germinate that I'd already consider this a smashing success lol.

I find it an extremely response without ensuring what you say is correct. Context matters.

Thank you!! This loaf is actually from a couple of years ago, I haven't baked in a while so I've been dreaming of past loaves...

Forgot NSFW tag, my b

Very fun idea, I think we'll have to have our own nominations :)

Have seen people use hay bales to grow in, but you do have to condition them first. I guess it depends on your situation if that has to be a purchased material or not, but I am curious if the same idea can be used with other materials. I think the biggest "issue" with uncomposted organic materials is the nutrients are not as readily available, but I've heard that some things like squash love some uncomposted organic material to sink their roots into. I bet you can have success there, just maybe not the most optimal yields or anything like that.

Couple favorites from my wife and I - paneer curries (especially paneer makhani), bean and cheese enchiladas, tofu tacos (shallow fry small cubes of tofu to get some texture), and a salad topped with fried chickpeas/tomato/avocado along with anything else that sounds yummy. Sometimes just a huge bowl of pasta hits too, with some simple veg added.

Good to know, thank you!

I have not yet - but I will have to soon! Costco often carries oxtail and I think for a reasonable price... I'll have to check next time we're there.

Thank you!
