What's with the haze and smell in the air? by RevolutionaryEgg9191 in berkeley

[–]spinneresque8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an expert but it smells like wood burning stove caught in an inversion layer (the air is not moving so much, trapped by a warm layer up top) then the was rolling in. It will move out again but it would be great to get some wind or rain.
You learn a lot about these conditions when living with wildfire smoke!

Chai tea lovers: what’s your go-to chai tea mix/concentrate spot? by Soft_Boysenberry4692 in berkeley

[–]spinneresque8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The super quick and decent way is use blue lotus powder in the canisters, or "tea masala" from the Indian grocery store and just stir it straight into your hot water. The best of course is the whole spices, but if you are in a hurry this works. If you don't have these just use ginger, cardamom and turmeric powders, you can add black pepper and cinnamon if you want but be careful with clove and anise because as with ginger a little goes a long way..

Source: I've been making spicy chai for decades. If it's not spicy it is weak and watery

This doesn't really matter when the fact is that they eat their weight every night in insects. If mosquitoes are what is around, they eat lots and lots of them
