It’s definitely a learning curve to start your plants from seed, but seeds can be gotten cheap and are easy to transport. I find beans/peas to be pretty easy to grow from seed, and their vertical growth means they don’t take up too much space.

How lovely! I’ve gotten pretty good at growing vegetables, but flowers, not so much.

If it’s truly tasteless and dissolves completely in water, yet can bind like eggs, that opens up a huge range of applications. Really hope they’re able to scale up production.

Poland has a variety of hardiness zones, which will determine how much longer you have in your growing season. I would suggest things like brassicas (which include kale and broccoli), as they can handle temperatures a bit below freezing. But keep in mind the size of your balcony, as they can get pretty big.

If you can buy seedlings of annual herbs like parsley, dill, basil, there’s still time for a good harvest even in the colder areas of Poland. Do you have space where you can bring some pots inside?

Fair point, I have flown too close to the sun before, and used so little water that my pasta came out with undercooked clumped spots. So reduce water volume with care.

I usually use as little water as I can get away with, as the resulting pasta water is much more starchy and works better in sauces.

So cute! And such a large blep 😆

Huh, how odd. Not what I would have expected, but in that case, go for flavor!

Interesting, what about a version with a little bit of both, for both the taste and smell?

Yum, I haven’t tried chocolate sprinkles before, how’s the taste?

Heck yeah, I’ve been trying to post both here and on a couple of my communities at .world. I’ve mostly been going through my old, never-posted photos for some good OC, but think I might also start scavenging my ex-reddit account. Anything for content and to keep up the momentum!

An excellent read, and I was glad to hear that the community had been smart and saved/invested profits from the crab harvest during the bountiful years. Hopefully they’re able to pivot their economy to be more diverse and secure.

It used to be popular among European landowners to have a garden hermit as part of the landscaping decor.

Honestly I think it’s good where they left it. No spoilers, but it’s a satisfying arc for who ends up on top, and I feel like that last evening with the siblings and then the board meeting the next day was the perfect encapsulation of their whole relationship.

Ugh, I’ll be on the venting side. I drew the short straw and had to do two weeks of night shifts (and I’m a early bird, NOT a night owl). I slept nearly 40 out of the 48 hours last weekend, and I expect I’ll do the same this weekend.

[Vegan] and [Vegetarian] are quick ones that come to mind. Maybe also like the region of the cuisine? i.e. [Chinese], [Peruvian], or maybe the type of meal [Breakfast], [Appetizer].

Honestly, I joined beehaw knowing that the admins would run it like a benevolent dictatorship. It’s their instance, their servers, their time and effort, and I respect that.

you will enjoy what we are imposing, period

Yep, if you want to make your own community your own way, there’s plenty of other instances that offer that.

That belly is a trap! All fuzzy and soft, just asking to be petted

The little moth buddy I posted about was really fun. There’s been a surprising amount of interesting bugs where I’ve been working the past couple weeks, last night one of my coworkers spotted something that looked like a cross between a spider and a cricket, which I’ve yet to be able to identify.

I agree. I’m not one of the silly purists that populate r/grilledcheese, other ingredients can go great in a grilled cheese, as long as the cheese is still the star of the show.
