I discovered something delicious about a minute ago, and that is turmeric toast. I wanted to take some turmeric, so I figured I would sprinkle some on some buttered toast, spread it around, and eat it. I did, and it was actually quite tasty. I recommend it.
If you're wondering how I sprinkled...read more

I was listening to an audiobook, today, at my computer, and a command-prompt was before me. As I sometimes do, I typed various characters while I listened. Then I started holding keys down and watching. I noticed that when I focused on the cursor/caret as it moved, then the details of all the le...read more

In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we believe in building a reserve of food (and stuff for emergencies), so that we can be prepared. I'm not the type of person to go to the store everyday, so I generally like to buy in bulk (even for everyday life). Keep in mind that not all of ...read more

So, I've been in the dark about whether/when second boosters would come out and be available to the public (especially for free) for a while now. It's kind of hard to find information about it, even when you're specifically looking for it.
However, I have the answer for you, so fear not. Appa...read more

I've long wondered whether wonderberries were polyploids or not, and it turns out, they are! Well, according to a couple sources on the Internet, anyway.

Wuler_ is a tomato project of mine, to deal with segregations of and/or crosses with the unstable B.S.X. tomato seeds I received in 2019 (which have proven pretty cool). This is to distinguish it from the other B.S.X. tomatoes floating around that don't quite match mine in description, and to he...read more

I have mixed feelings about this article linked at the end of this post. On the one hand, it's great, because it has the potential to produce a great product. On the other hand, the implication seems to be that they're infecting chickens with a live COVID virus (they use the word 'infect', rathe...read more

Morsel_A F1 was a plant I grew in 2021. It was an F1 hybrid, with Napoli as the mother, and an unknown smaller-fruited plant as the father. The fruits were ovate in a symmetrical fashion; they were somewhat sweet, and quite good. They tasted like they'd be good tomatoes in salad (and for snackin...read more
