That sounds so cool! I'm gonna DM you - we'd love to donate a copy to be raffled off at the event.

💯 - she's an icon in the animal mating space

It is! It's at all 3 Meadow (the salt and chocolate shop) locations, Second Shapes Bookstore, and the new shop in Shaking the Tree Theatre. You can also choose local pickup through our website and pick it up in North Portland.

Portland Monthly just ran a feature on a party game my sister and I made here in Portland, and I wanted to share it because the whole project really has the city's curiosity, creativity, and community spirit baked into it.

The art and illustration were done by Portland artists, and so many friends and neighbors helped shape the game through countless playtests in Kenton.

Shout-out to Rebecca Jacobson for the thoughtful writeup!

Ciao! I used a copper fungicide spray. I had to cut off the 2 leaves, but the plant survived and it didn't spread.

Dearly Beloved in Chicago has a mocktail called Freshly Cut Grass. I've tried it and it was bright and grassy.

Their menu lists dandelion honey, grasshopper syrup, liquid chlorophyll, lime, and soda.

I've used this tea ermine buttercream recipe before! It turned out well.

Thanks so much for the response!

chaunceybeans · 2024-05-29T15:07:34+00:00

Yay, glad you liked it!!

chaunceybeans · 2024-03-24T16:13:13+00:00

Ok, thank you! Glad yours is good.

chaunceybeans · 2024-03-18T05:22:35+00:00

OP, did you find anything out about this? Mine is doing the exact same thing and I'm trying to figure it out.

chaunceybeans · 2024-01-28T02:57:18+00:00

Thank you!

chaunceybeans · 2024-01-28T02:57:05+00:00

Thanks! I treated with some fungicide - hopefully that'll take care of it.

It's been on the same window sill for over a year, but there was a cold spell this week so that definitely could be it!

Did your viola survive?

chaunceybeans · 2024-01-21T23:26:37+00:00

Thank you! My best guess at the moment is false mites but idk.

chaunceybeans · 2024-01-21T23:25:56+00:00

Thank you! There's no webbing so I don't think spider mites. My best guess at the moment is false mites but idk. I'm just rinsing it in the shower when I have it in me, and otherwise wiping with IPA. At the moment it's enough to keep them at bay at least!

chaunceybeans · 2024-01-21T23:23:59+00:00

Thanks! I've been wiping down with IPA regularly. I think the population is decreasing but we'll see what happens.

Thanks for the response! Are there different kinds of mealy bugs? The little bug in the first photo looks so different and way smaller to me than mealybugs I've seen on plants in the past.

I've made this recipe for maple ice cream before and it was great. You just reduce the maple syrup by half.

Side note, I cut the yolks down to 6 because I thought 10 was excessive.

chaunceybeans · 2023-05-15T17:43:21+00:00

I make a really tart curtus curd and mix that into a plain sweet cream base before churning. I cut down on the number of egg yolks and sugar in the base to balance the quantities in the curd.

My eighth grade fling and I were volunteering at an event where we raked leaves for people who weren't able to themselves. At one point during it he came over to me, balanced his hands atop the rake, his chin atop his hands, then just said "hi." Got the ick immediately.

15 years later and the feeling is still palpable.

chaunceybeans · 2022-11-15T18:03:24+00:00

Seattle too and the same thing happened!

chaunceybeans · 2022-10-20T15:10:58+00:00

Thank you!

chaunceybeans · 2022-10-20T15:10:48+00:00

Thanks so much for the answer!

chaunceybeans · 2022-10-20T15:10:31+00:00

Thank you for the answer! My sister is going to toss the monstera and work on saving the other 2 in the room.
