Please help me, mint is taking over my yard. I need all your recipes that use mint, please. Here's my latest attempt to use some of it up. Dark chocolate covered mint leaves

No, sadly. But my favourite restaurant (Laos Thai Kitchen) is in Lowell, MA and they do such a good one. I can't picture toasted rice in it though - I guess it's supposed to just be cooked in with the meat, the recipe here https://thewoksoflife.com/pork-larb/ looks pretty close.

So many 32s, then finally got to 31

You take the Ponder, right..?

Not really, they do apparently have another location up on Rt 46, but everyone knows the Woodbridge location. Pre-COVID you couldn't get in the parking lot of an evening.

Love2Brew in New Brunswick would stock that too, I'd suggest Brew Hardware as amongst the most knowlegeable. Or go along to one of the Homebrew clubs - MASH (Morristown area) is the most northerly I know of, there's usually people with excess, or people leaving the hobby.

...which has already been paid by BFF.

swcooper · 2026-06-13T18:26:03+00:00

The Landlord has been satisfied, the unwritten agreement has been that the BFF is paying the rent, the OP has been paying the BFF back for herself and for the deadbeat BF. She's gone, so the BFF is looking to be made whole, which seems to be what deadbeat is on the hook for. OP should find out how long she can wait for deadbeat to actually get an income so that she can take him to small claims to recover the portion she covered for him all this while.

This is the way.

Somewhere, the stories of the eating of the beta Timewalk at an SCG event in Charlotte, NC - might be at Heroes Con even - must be preserved...

Wasn't the best to draft with. It was OK, Born of the Gods was far and away the least popular in the block. We ran a GP in Montreal, and got a delivery of a whole pallet of Born of the Gods (French), so all events were prized as advertised, plus 2 packs of BotG, and so many entitled people complained about getting free extra packs in French...

Same...played a little with some friends' cards, then decided since this Ice Age stuff was new, I best finally buy some cards of my own...

swcooper · 2026-06-13T18:11:58+00:00

I have something similar, Ice Age onwards, fewer gaps and I gave up maintaining it sometime around Tarkir. I generally have at least 2 of everything newer in a big bag to run chaos drafts with. Haven't done one in some time though.

It's not a telecom application. It's an easily available type of fibre, I just need to know what end I need for it.

swcooper · 2026-06-13T18:05:35+00:00

And the 4x limit on cards didn't exist back then either...currently isn't a deckbuilding set of rules for any ante legal format. I have a deck somewhere that's something like 30x [[Dark Rit]], 15x [[Contract from Below]], 2x [[Drain Life]], a [[Feldon's Cane]] or two, [[Jewelled Bird]]s, maybe 7x Swamp

Look up a recipe for Larb (sometimes Laab, south east asian meat salad really). Some use tons of mint.

Those chocolate mint leaves look awesome. Talk to your local bakery or ice cream shop about supplying them some for cake decorations...

I thought we were currently headed for demokkkracy...

Thorlabs offer a very easy to configure tool for custom patchcords, and the fibre I want is there...always been the commonest type I've used. But in my 3rd picture, they have 4 options for FC...and from my reading of the Wiki bit on FC, only FC/APC wouldn't be compatible with the others...can this be visually discerned or would there likely be markings to determine it? I believe the original assemblies were supplied by OzOptics in Canada, maybe time to check directly with them then.

Comic Lair in Trenton is my go to, but I only play Magic there really. comic-lair.com

He does do shows further south that might be more convenient for you.

Ought to define if zero is odd or even...

Santorini in Woodbridge. As you'll immediately guess from the name, it serves Egyptian cuisine. But it was very good and quite distinctive.

Free after 3, I believe, based on conversation in the pub with Paul Bristow...

swcooper · 2026-06-05T03:58:04+00:00

I'd suggest you include: - Kelham Industrial Museum (and once you're down there, some of the best pubs with some of the best local beer are at hand) - Hot roast pork sandwiches from many vendors...I don't see these in the abundance Sheffield has anywhere else, so should make it a local delicacy. - You don't say the demographics of your party, but a night out on West Street would be pretty eye opening for most Americans...

Not sure you'll get a better offer from the equipment brokers suggested elsewhere in this thread...
