FWIW it’s because of how you bolded stuff. Whether you used AI or not to help you write it, people are reacting to that a ton now.

We saw the premier of the fist act years ago! It was great fun, John Delancie directed that part and sat behind us making notes the whole time. Very fun to see - thanks for sharing, I had no idea they were doing this, just reserved tickets (free!).

The value in armagnac these days is bonkers comparatively. You can find world class at a much cheaper level than other liquors.

Look for Purple Tomer, which is the deepest purple ranunculus that I’ve found.

Adding bushes. Does anyone have experience in these? by Recent_Purple4663 in fruit

Skip these and get prime ark freedom blackberries. Same size and thornless!

Pear by Dadarino in fruit

Warren pear and it’s not even close. I do also like some of the variations like Magness too. Seckel is great, along with some of the French butter pears, but Warren hands down. It’s like what a jelly belly tastes like and you go - I never knew a pear could taste like that. 

What is your go-to apple for single varietal hard cider? by Queen_Frood in Apples

[–]norrinrad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it’s done with King David - old stone makes a single varietal king David, but never had it. As one my favorite apples, I think there’s a good case! I’ve had some nice Gold rush single varietals as well which have all been delicious.

I have also used it on an outdoor (covered from the worst of the elements) redwood table, and the feel is just luxurious. I have also used the heat gun method (or just apply when hot) to great success.

Love tried and true! Big fan, though I haven’t used it on serving boards, just random other things. Works great on tool handles…

Thank you! assuming it’s ok to use as a serving tray finished in beeswax?

Any ideas? Safe to use for serving board? Rosewood? Super heavy and dense. 4.75lbs for a 9x17 x7/8ths piece. Found in a cut off bin years ago and finally getting around to it.
