i don't usually put salt on most foods, but once in a while i do like garlic salt or mushroom flavored soy sauce (1440 mg per tablespoon) but it does depend upon what i'm cooking. we always buy butter that has salt in it - i'm pretty sure that is where i get most of my salt from. the salt...

lawn is mowed and i found one deertick on me that hadn't had a chance to start biting me yet.

we had a set of world books and also another set of encylopedias. i read through both of them even if i didn't understand the words. i also used to read the dictionary and phone books (the yellow pages were useful back then).

they keep changing the forecast for today (rain after 3pm, no rain, chance of rain after noon, no rain, slight chance of rain before noon, etc.) so i'm not sure if i'll be out mowing or not, but it would be nice finish it up and to get it done so we'll see how it goes. i'll probably mow anyways...

i had to look and see if England has morels and it looks like it does: https://totallywilduk.co.uk/2024/07/04/foraging-for-morels-no1-brilliant-spring-mushroom-to-forage/ [from the article] "Morels typically appear in the spring, and tend to prefer sandy soils or recently laid woodchip." i...

before mowing i had to do the usual oil change and since i wasn't sure how much oil i would need and the oil i had on hand was enough i had to run into town to get some more. so i got to meet the new hardware store (well it's the old hardware store now being run by other people) people and was...

https://www.anthive.com/project/fungi/ it is giving me a certificate and security error (yes this is my website) but there shouldn't be any problem with going to look at it anyways. or you can just search on morel mushrooms and look at the tan colored ones (those are the type we have which are...

yes, the apple sauce cups were probably too shallow and thus would be too wet (you'd have to keep a closer eye on how wet they were getting). yogurt cups tend to be taller and more narrow.

it helps, thanks! :)

i couldn't wait to get away right after high school.

it is morel mushroom season here, with all the rain we've had there are four small morels out there now and i'll leave them alone so they can spread more spores. if there is a particularly nice one that i see i'll rinse it off (saving the rinse water) and then use that to spread the spores even...

@ruralmamma oh no! achilles tendon problems are no fun at all. i pulled my left side many years ago and never had it treated in any way. my leg isn't quite the same and i have to be careful on slopes if i'm working on something but otherwise i just do whatever i can. i'm not sure i care any...

lawn is halfway mowed. i was about 1/4 of the way done and took a break. finished the to the halfway point (it's more than halfway but i think of it as the halfway point) and said that was enough. with all the pollen in the air my breathing wasn't fond of the whole outside experience anyways...

yeah, when we went to the main library in Saginaw i would come out of there with paper grocery bags full of books. the township library just didn't have enough of the books i was interested in after i read through the collection they did have. i spent a lot of time in that small library...

i'm sorry i can't help, perhaps @Zeedman will stick his head in sometime as i think he has a lot of yardlong experience.
