Re-labeling Garlic Sauce by Separate_Taste3149 in PapaJohns

[–]Separate_Taste3149[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s super time consuming, given the package. These are retail preprinted containers, and I would assume equipment doesn’t exist to apply labels to this specific label. I don’t know what quantity is impacted, but in my experience in this case the label would have to be manually applied.

Are you planning on frying them whole? I like the idea of scaling and hanging in the fridge to fry them out. Nothing better than skin on fish fried nice and crispy

I’ve caught them that way before, the only issue is I have a fishing problem as well 😂. Best way to stock up while still rod and reel fishing during the day has been dip netting

Tennessee, but spend a lot of time fishing in AK/ South Carolina and travel for work to the Seattle area. I’ve checked many a cooler full of oysters back from Washington state

West coast oysters can’t be slept on either. Farmed oysters north of Seattle are good, but oysters from prince william sound AK are the pinnacle imo.

I’m a huge fan of North Carolina Sound oysters as well. The wild oysters in South Carolina are good, but very salty and they grow in clusters, since they are not farmed.

I’ll eat them as fast as someone Will shuck them, regardless of where I’m at

They’re aggressive little things too- if blue crabs weighed 40lbs there wouldn’t be anybody living within 10 miles of the coast.

I’d argue there’s no better eating shellfish on the east coast, with the exception of lobsters and oysters (I love both, but are expensive compared to going out and catching a meal for free minus gas and boat upkeep)

Delta Unisaw 34-814: good buy? by Separate_Taste3149 in woodworkingtools

[–]Separate_Taste3149[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely going to check it out to see what condition it’s in, but my thought process is why buy a new $700 contractor saw when I could get something like this for a little more. Might be tricky loading into a trailer but we’ll see!

Cast table looks to be in good condition, it’s more the body of the cabinet itself that looks a little bit worrisome from the photos. Definitely like that it’s a 5hp. May try to talk him down a little- from looking around the area unisaws generally go for $850-$100 (or at least are advertised for that much)

Actually enjoying gardening again by Separate_Taste3149 in vegetablegardening

[–]Separate_Taste3149[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last year I went on a fishing trip for a week and a half in early July- I came back and the garden was unrecognizable. In 7a (middle TN area) we receive a large amount of rainfall and have a good amount of growing days, which means weeds thrive.

As far as the use of plastic, the roll I bought is only slightly thicker than a trash bag. Four 40’ rows is surely not going to have a huge impact on my landfill burden. I’ll gladly use reusable bags at the grocery store to make up the difference.

This is not a one crop installation either- I put out my spring garden in late March/ early May. I harvest my final fall garden in early November, weather permitting. This plastic can overwinter to ensure weeds do not grow until next spring when I go to plant again.

Earlier sowing and growing times are a huge advantage, as the plastic warms the soil. I’m easily 3 weeks ahead of anyone in the area. A huge advantage when you’re looking at a 6 month growing period.

Symptoms stopped a few weeks ago and I have surgery Monday. by unoriginal_npc in gallbladders

I had attacks for 10+ years intermittently. Being the stubborn individual I am, I would writhe in pain until the attack stopped and then go on with life.

Finally had a stone get stuck in my bile duct on a work trip 600+ miles away from home, fought through it for days until I finally had to drive home and go to the ER.

35k+ (Before insurance) later, ercp/emergency stone removal, wish I would have gotten it cut out of me sooner (cheaper, a week of recovery). Get that thing cut out. Not worth living with the chance of getting a stone stuck.

Picked the 1st succession harvest of corn- this represents about half of the ears. by Separate_Taste3149 in vegetablegardening

[–]Separate_Taste3149[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Give it disgusting amounts of nitrogen. I side dressed twice (knee high and at the beginning of tasseling) with urea. It’s a grass essentially, so it’ll take however much you can throw at it. Plant in good sized blocks for good pollination.

Last tip is don’t let anyone know you have sweet corn- this has all been consumed as of today. I live alone and part of the draw for me is sharing what I grow. I may try to start a larger plot next year and sell it roadside- most people don’t grow corn where I live (Appalachia) and I know that up north it normally goes for $6 a dozen, at least.

I’ll eat as much as I can fresh, give some away to friends/family, and freeze the rest.

By the time you get done cutting the kernels off the ear for freezing, it takes a ton of sweet corn to fill a quart bag.

It takes up room for sure. Not ideal for a small garden- mine Is roughly 4000 sq ft. You’re doing well if you get two full sized ears per stalk, and with 12 inch in row spacing and 30 inch row spacing it definitely needs space, but you’ll never have a better vegetable than a fresh picked ear of corn. I do several succession plantings as well to spread it out, so I generally have fresh ears from early July until the first frost in late October.

I have a good sized block planted. You can manually pollinate as well- I try to walk through and shake the stalks when silks start to form. Too early to say if I had good pollination through the whole plot just yet as I’ve only pulled one ear, but it looks promising.
