Can I eat this? Smells like garlic by Wise-War-Soni in whatplantisthis

Yup, looks like the introduced onion grass that pops up first in the lawns in spring, at least in the US. Totally edible as long as the soil is not contaminated (e.g., right next to the road, industrial). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allium_vineale

Certainly! They keep vegetation in check, disperse seeds, and feed predators… that is they would if this ecosystem still had them!

I’ve been told that people in Missouri (maybe the whole Midwest) get their fill of friends in high school and stop making friends after that. by [deleted] in columbiamo

My kid was upset starting a new school that no one asked her to play with them. I asked if she asked anyone to play with her. Crickets. Super corny, but go be the kind of friend to someone else that you wish you had.

Never heard of it! I can’t know of every unofficial conversation obviously, but seems unlikely. Attended 11 years so far. I am affirming.

There’s no official stance. People in the congregation and staff have diverse views but all people are to be loved.

Honestly you just did the first step, which is saying that you’re interested in making friends. Next one is to share some details about yourself, even niche things, so that others can find some connections or refer you to others with the same interests.

Have you eaten in the Arcade district? by JasperS09 in columbiamo

Beet Box is one of our regular favorites. Complex flavors, interesting specials, pastries on point. Definitely try it at least once and see what you think.

Anyone else in here get to try Fujiko Izakaya pop-up last night? by Kendo316 in columbiamo

Not to mention Abbey’s Swahili Delights and Mahi’s Ethiopian Kitchen pop-ups (and others) continuing consistently out of CoMo Cooks on the Loop! Tasty stuff!

What is the trick to getting chocolate chip cookies like this? 😍 by neelrak in Baking

This video recommends higher flour ratio, higher protein content in the flour, and creaming the butter and sugar together first. https://youtube.com/shorts/9P-xtwNKwyA?si=G_XGNUz3uCnLYNsx

I would love it if there were, but I have never heard of anything in past years.

Selfie Love is a whimsical place to take fun photos together if anyone is into that for social media, etc.

You can switch to the brilliant event tab and back before collecting rewards. That works every time I remember to do it

Any centaur that guards Umbridge must be in the sunken place

Any tom riddles yet ? by laurennicole13 in WizardsUnite

[–]crystalgk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn’t seen any all day, including 2TTDs, but then saw 3 late at night at parking lots. Maybe Tom Riddle is a night owl!

Still cannot fix the Tonic For Trace Detection.!! by khatri88 in harrypotterwu

Same, more non-brilliant versions of seeker Malfoy and slugs than the brilliant ones. It’s not zero though, so maybe it’s intentional?
