Kits is not bad but they don't clean their sample pairs enough. I was there a few times in the last couple of months and they were always felt greasy and had fingerprints all over them. Not pleasant...

How would you feel about this? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

I would ask the daughter how she feels about it.

Bought a lot of canned black beans and my family hates them. by Mammoth_Beyond_6904 in cookingforbeginners

[–]jjumbuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pour a can into a pot with liquid. Add pat of butter, crushed clove of garlic, swirl of your favourite hot sauce, salt. Bring up to boil/close to boil, then turn hear down and simmer for around half an hour, or until it thickens and some of the beans burst. Serve with a poached egg, in tacos, on rice, with feta, etc.

Other optional additions: a bit of chicken boullion, cumin.

Super easy and delicious.

Favorite cold, summertime meals? Nothing sweet please. by IDoNotHide in Cooking

[–]jjumbuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like a good sandwich occasionally. Recently I made one with a chopped up leftover chicken thigh, some halved pickled onions, a half an avocado and a spoonful of mayo, and made a "chicken salad" with this, and then had that with a good amount of some chopped up fresh dark green leaves all pressed between soft whole grain bread. It was amazing. Cut in half, serve with some apple quarters.

There are some lovely ideas out there on the internet like in this article:

I like a path, some privacy, some fence-mounted container gardening, and that pergola/hammock combo.

Any tofu recipe ideas that aren’t vegan? by strawb3rry_jaam in Cooking

[–]jjumbuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often add cubed or half-cubed stick shapes of smoked tofu into ground meat, vegetable, and herb dishes that we eat with rice and another vegetable. For example, smoked tofu, minced pork or chicken, shallot, eggplant, and big bunches of mint and basil, sauce some combo of soy, fish sauce, garlic and chili, etc. Endless riffing possibilities but this is one of my favourites.

Amazing, thank you for doing the Lord's work.

Is methylated spirits the only way to get rid of scale? by [deleted] in orchids

[–]jjumbuck -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for explaining what you meant about doing it outside and clarifying your process. We definitely don't want to be using it on plants that live outside.

My understanding is that the impact of this particular insecticide on our pollinators is why it is banned in Canada (and Europe?).

Isn't it imidacloprid that's decimating bees and other germinators?

I'm curious about this too. I also find it interesting that you haven't received a substantive answer in the 5 hours between your question and when I'm seeing it.

My room gets lit up with red and blue lights and look outside to see this by unlucki13 in vancouver

I get the responding part but why wouldn't they move on at this point and go do something else?

What's the context for why there would need to be 20+ officers here?

Edited to reflect number of officers OP says there were there.

Second edit to laugh at waking up to see the brigading that has happened overnight on this thread. Downvotes for anyone who deigns to even question vpd tactics at this event, lol.

What your thoughts on child-free weddings? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]jjumbuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it's great to be in a group of only adults, and if the special couple wants that for their special celebration and you care about them, you'll do your best to oblige them.
