Oof, our tax money is definitely funding a lot of medieval bills :(

I feel that with the brassicas too. Your flowers are amazing looking though!

Apologies, I did not see your reply sooner! I basically cut the tomatoes into quarters along with an onion and bell pepper(s) plus halved jalapenos/any other peppers depending on how spicy you want it. Add a head of garlic too with the top cut off. Spread all of these veggies on a foiled cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and roast in the oven at ~450F for 20-30 min until the edges start to brown. Then let it cool a little and blend it up, adding lime/lemon juice, salt, pepper, cumin, and cilantro to taste.

What’s nice is you can roast whatever you have on hand, and it comes out slightly different each time. You can jar it for longer storage as well :)

Roasted green tomato salsa is excellent

• Mac sauce
• Tartar sauce
• Truffle aioli (American style)

I guess I like mayo-based sauces

Was also going to comment that song!

They’re actually legal federally now, tho many states have banned them

That’s very cool! Chemistry was always my most difficult subject (biology major). We use acetanilide at work as standard reference material for stable isotope analysis of particulate organic matter (e.g., phytoplankton/marine snow), basically as a quality check since it has similar carbon and nitrogen signatures. Always excited to learn interesting science facts! :)

This is excellent advice actually! My first instinct after getting it on my skin was to wash it off with soap and water, and learned afterwards that water causes it to cure faster. So it would make sense to dampen the wood to get it to stick better

Totally random and off-topic, but I like your username. Was literally looking up how potentially toxic acetanilide is the other day when we received a small shipment of it at work. Do you have a fun origin story for your username or any fun facts about the substance?

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR INTENT!

It’s funny because we were trying to get it to stick to wood, which it didn’t seem to stick to that well

I am curious, what are your religious beliefs on this? And would you be willing to accept a donated organ to save your life?

I am not sure why you are getting downvoted for answering the question. Yes, lemmy tends to have fewer religious people, but it’s upsetting that others are quick to downvote anyone expressing their religious beliefs. Personally I am agnostic, however I respect that everyone has the right to their beliefs.
