From several years ago.

This randomly popped up under my persimmon tree. My plant identifier thinks of might be a crocus. Anyone know? I think it's beautiful and I'd love to encourage more to grow if possible!

They don't ever seem to bother him or anyone else that walks by.

Does anyone roll random treasure and/or magic items for their games? If so, what resources do you use for this? This was a regular thing in 1st edition that I loved.

I used Serious Eats' recipe with a few modifications. Swapped the peanuts out for sesame seeds, and used powdered bouillon in place of salt.

On the flip side, it's somehow easier to get people to attend scheduled meetings.

The third scion finally established itself and put out leaves, but not before the first two were well ahead of it. I may need to prune back the other two a bit in the winter to give the late one a chance. Something also ate a lot of the leaves off of the scions not long after they were established, but they seem to have recovered.

I made a simple syrup (1:1 sugar:water by volume brought to a boil), then poured it over some magnolia blossom petals while hot and let that steep covered over night.

The flavor and aroma and quite intense. The flavor reminds me of ginger up front, but then that gives way to a very pleasant floral flavor.

I ordered groceries the other day and meant to get 4 containers of shelf stable oat milk, but instead I accidentally ordered 4 normal oat milks (64oz containers that go in the fridge). I'd like to keep them from going bad, either by using them for something or freezing them.

Has anyone here successfully frozen oat milk for later use? I'm thinking about trying it, but not sure it'll screw up the texture / cause it to separate.

I'm also open to suggestions for using it on something. Ice cream maybe? Lots of lattes?

Kinda looks like me, kinda doesn't. This was a spur of the moment drawing I did in a museum that lets you draw a self portrait and tack it up on their wall. It does make me want to try doing some more self portraiture.
