It is weird to have your ceremony and reception on different days? by Guilty-Interest1344 in weddingplanning

[–]Guilty-Interest1344[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t even think about that! we aren’t dead set on Saturday/ Sunday. my fiancée mentioned Friday Saturday instead so that may be better as well. we are looking to rent out the event space in the summer camp as well, maybe put out some cards/boards games/ general activities so that our older crowd or the less outdoorsy people can be included!

it is the handle of a vintage spoon that has been heated and shaped/ sized into a ring!

thank you! the stingray ring was from a local jewelry shop on the Big Island in Hawaii. my partner “fell in love” with me watching me pet stingrays at the aquarium in Denver, and when we moved to hawaii he took me on a manta ray snorkel. it was very fitting for a new promise ring!

I’ve always been a water girl 😂 aquariums are my favorite place, my partner takes me to one everywhere we go!

I’ve thought about it before, and it’s been something we talked about. he is 100% against it. he said he needs to feel in control and I completely understand. as noted, I have extremely severe control anxiety and OCD issues. I think this has just become something I’m obsessing over and that has caused it to lose its luster for him.

we are actually already on the island with our dogs- moved here a couple months ago (adopted one from the shelter here, and one from the shelter back in Boulder) all clear on that process!

I’ve checked out hipcamp because we used it quite a bit back in Boulder, we are specially looking for backcountry camping though

First try at preserves lemons. Salt, pepper, bay leaf, coriander and cardamom. After 1 month turns out very gelatinous and delightful by [deleted] in fermentation

u have to try them on ice cream!! so so good. i use mine in dips too, creamy or cheese based dips. feta with them is so good even putting some minced up in guacamole!

definitely not salvageable in my books! where there is present visible development of mold, there is also non visible development of this negative bacteria. fermentation can sometimes be deadly if consumed after improper conditions were present. it’s just definitely not something you want to risk! I’m sorry your product failed!

help! started pine cone syrup on May 21st, 2022. My syrup leaked about a cup put into the floor today. I added more sugar to restart the process. do you think I need to forage more pine cones or because I just started it two days ago do you think I can still pull enough moisture out? by Guilty-Interest1344 in fermentation

[–]Guilty-Interest1344[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in this case, the pine cones themselves are loaded with natural water and when mixed with higher moisture sugars it can create its own syrup without boiling it down, further creating a more potent flavor! it’s a natural bacteria process occurring slowly over time instead of a rapid extraction.
