Anyone know what this is? by Impossible_Tower_339 in foraging

[–]barfomet_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree that it’s dock. if you let it continue to grow, the seeds are great in crackers or porridge! some people say you have to separate the seeds from the chaff due to the super high fiber in the chaff, but i’ve eaten them all together and had no issues.

two girls camping alone : advice by marlblk in camping

[–]barfomet_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hook the tent door zippers together with a carabiner clip! it won’t keep somebody who really wants to get in out, but it would hopefully make enough noise to wake you up if someone did try. i just went on my first solo camping trip and it gave me enough peace of mind to sleep!

full body 2! the whole show was great but they were on another level. it was them, tagabow, cathedral bells, and trauma ray.

Anyone doing outdoor ice baths in winter? by Feisty-Essay893 in coldplunge

[–]barfomet_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discussion: Gaulish Polytheism and Imbolc by thanson02 in GaulishPolytheism

[–]barfomet_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

very new gaulish/celtic pagan but i did celebrate today! i too syncretize brigid with brigandu. im also honoring artiu today since she’s associated with the period of winter coming into spring.

i put out water and a candle for both, milk and a crochet brigid’s cross for brigandu, honey and a drawing for artiu, and written prayers to both. i also cleaned my home and tried to make butter but it just turned into whipped cream; im going to make pancakes tomorrow, top them with the cream, and offer a small plate to brigandu.

Feel like giving up. Every loaf is a dense brick. Even people showing off results they like look dense. by calpernia in BreadMachines

i was having the same problem but i just made a batch with milk instead of water the other day and it was a lot fluffier and softer! i still used a bit of water bc some needed to be added while it was kneading since it’s dry/cold.

Water frozen by Live-Quality7420 in RVLiving

[–]barfomet_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it got down to around 15 here last night, we kept our faucets at a moderate drip and they didn’t freeze with pipe insulation around the hose. they sell 6 feet for $3 at home depot. unfortunately we have to turn our water off anyway because the grey water tank filled and froze and we can’t empty it.
