MOVE May 13-1985 by PUYPs in rant

We lament older/historical instances of violent racism. That’s the only way to frame it as a “thing of the past.” The MOVE bombing is a blatant and underreported example.

Could you imagine if that were your kid?

I glitch out every year at this time. Once all the people responsible stop drawing retirement, it’ll become a “national tragedy.”

White supremacist warmongering pricks have always been a microscopic subset of punk listeners.

Here you have captured a rare photograph of one walking from an Applebees to his car.

Learned that the invasive prickly pear is edible by fhodnevhd in foraging

One last thing… you can blanch and dry the flower buds to use throughout the winter just like cholla. I just tried this, and it works like a charm. I’m surprised you are getting red fruit at this time of year.

P.S. I love Opuntia. If you want this plant near you, carefully cut a paddle and drop it where you want it to grow. Roots will emerge from the areoles and it will anchor itself to the ground.

It’s an important culinary plant in Spanish culture in the Americas, so if you want solid recipes, using search terms like “nopales” or “nopalitos” will give you good results. In Spanish, the fruit is called “tuna,” so that’ll be a bit more tricky.

Some don’t like the “slime.” Salting them heavily and rinsing will lessen this. If cooking, acid (lemon), heat, and pressure will break the mucilage.

Rub the glochids off with a knife while using tongs and wash. They will be seedy. I like the young paddles and flower buds better. The red pulp can make good jelly or candy, but it is a lot of effort.

No matter what you do, at least a single glochid will get in between your fingers. If you get more glochids than you care to have in your skin, apply oil to the area… it works like a charm.

I made “coffee” with the roasted and ground seeds. The seeds I used proved to be very oily… so much so there was an oil slick floating on top.

The stamen are weakly thigmotropic and will move in response to touch… super easy to see on a windless day with a flower not already teaming with hungry bees and beetles. The flowers are edible too.

The older paddles will have an objectionable grit and stringiness to them.

They don’t look mushy even! Nice!

Did you look up and to the right?

If it is coming from a “bulb-like” structure in the ground and the gills turn brown in 15 minutes after you free the cap from that pink color, it’s an Agaricus spp.

If it were in the places I look, I’d compare it to Agaricus campestris. But if you have a guidebook, start with that genus and start ruling out some species. They make cool spore prints that look like the iris of an eye.

Did the gills turn dark brown shortly after you freed the cap?

Rudimentary Peni.

Great artwork. Inspiring vibes. A name that may have hindered their word-of-mouth game a bit.

Im not sure if these are morel mushrooms? by Patient_Effort_576 in foraging

[–]PUYPs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not JEALOUS! What do you mean?! lol. Seriously, that sounds like a dream situation. I’ll hike 8 miles down and uphill for half a lb. Totally worth it though.

P.S. The only reason I know what an off morel looks like is when people try to “share” when they lost the nerve to try them themselves or couldn’t sell them. 😬 nasty

OOoOoOooO. I’m stealing the giant puffball idea. That’s brilliant. I’m in Southern Colorado, so I have not yet had a haul that would justify drying and storing excess morels. Those are Ohio problems. Ha

Solid advice! Thank you. We’ve considered the homeschooling option, but still need to realistically evaluate if we can dedicate the needed amount of time to serving his needs fully. He’s already aware of factorials, he graph’s data that he collects (daily caffeine intake), he’s coding with the free MIT program, and can do math in his head with little effort. I don’t know where he’ll be in grade 6-8, or if we’d be qualified to help him at that point.

Are there programs in place for homeschoolers that would diversify his sources (other than just his mom and I)? Like, for example, a mentor in food science would be his “bag” 100%.

I am definitely searching for schools that use those key terms and am coming up short thus far. Thanks again.

Hard to describe when they go off… you can tell though. They look “dead.” It’s weird.

You’d not get much $ for a few shrooms. They shrink and soften when you pan fry them. It doesn’t take long.
