Doesn't quite fit the briefing of food porn (imo it's pretty hard to make soups/stews aesthetically pleasing), but sure did taste good.
Didn't have the cream I'd normally use, but made do with 2% milk and buttermilk powder, and then I added potato flakes and a bit of gelatin for some extra body.
Pretty gutted, had just started to harvest this year's crop. Just the cherry on top of an already shit day. Even managed to snap the half inch metal stake I put there when I first planted it in February 2021.

Harder to stand up, but SO much easier to carve!
This was something my dad used to do when I was a kid. Next year when the kids will remember the person in the scarecrow, it will actually be stuffed, and I'll be hiding somewhere else!
View from a little further away, my husband was hiding behind the screen door controlling a spider that dropped from above 😈

I think you're supposed to pinch them off, but they're just too pretty.
Was out with a bunch of fellow geologists, who all got a kick out of looking at Saturn and the moon. Was only taking pictures with my phone, and so didn't get a good shot of Saturn, but thought this one of the moon was nice.

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.
Maybe some non food gift, like a bouquet of flowers? Or a gift card to a local movie theater or other non food activity?
That kids who grow up with new technologies are unphased and take them for granted, but marvel at old fashioned things that the elders grew up with and took for granted.
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.
I remember reading the original post! I knew nothing of him beyond my family's annual holiday watch of Christmas vacation, so this was an eye-opening read. Thanks for reposting it.
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.
