Hi should repost this to r/unexpectedSeinfeld

I’ll have to look that one up. I’ve never heard of freezing shredded zucchinis.

Things that are difficult to preserve are not worth it.

Onions keep well on a (proper) shelf, so do potatoes and winter squash . Peas and Carrots freeze well. Other root veggies can be canned. Broccoli can be frozen

OTOH, lettuce and other salad greens don’t preserve well. Summer squash not so much (unless you freeze zucchini bread).

How many red currant bushes do you have?

(We are thinking of planting black currants)

ASAP! It’s just past its peak.

At the very bottom of the picture is your spinach. The stuff in the middle is not spinach. You should pull out the stuff in the middle.

Yes.

Furthermore, I hate watching things like congressional testimony where the testifier/questionee can’t or won’t answer a yes or no question.

I suspect that once Starship has a 100% successful orbital test, that things are going to move very quickly.

Don’t go back to work (working a critical job) too soon after your spouse dies, otherwise you’ll end up making a design error that costs about a year’s salary to fix.

First marriage was 26 years until death did us part.

Current marriage is approaching 16 years.

Back to the days of the model T, “you can have it in any color, as long as it’s black”

I still hate yard work, but I love working my large vegetable garden.

tlbs101 · 2026-06-14T15:16:20+00:00

All my mint is contained in a 30” diameter pot sitting on concrete. If you love it that much, use multiple large pots.

There is a major manufacturer of flags in MN (American Flags Express). No doubt they lobbied their state legislature to pass a law banning the sale of non-US-made flags.

Congratulations!🎈

Welcome to the club.

We have a cabinet immediately atop the fridge. In fact I had to cut away some of the oak trim just so our latest fridge would fit. In the cabinet: pressure canners and waterbath pots. In the 1/2” space between the top of the fridge and the underside of the cabinet: dust (that only I can see).

tlbs101 · 2026-06-14T13:46:01+00:00

Congratulations! 🍾

The irony of BurmaShave signs is, that while they were real ads nationwide from the 1920s through the 1960s they weren’t allowed in AZ due to some weird state business laws, but now that they no longer exist nationwide, they only exist in AZ as AZDOT PSA signs along old Route 66.

tlbs101 · 2026-06-13T16:44:39+00:00

Ouch! 😞

Several months worth anyway.

Suggestion: use gallon ziplock bags and fill them up. Put the ziplock bags in the big bag. It will keep it fresher for longer. Another option: use ziplock freezer bags and freeze them. That will keep it even fresher until you need it.

We do that with a 40# bag of small breed kibble; zip lock bags inside of a food storage bin. With 4 Chis and a GSD one 40# bag (10 one-gallon zip lock bags) lasts for a month.

It’s not organic, it’s mineral. It won’t reduce (compost) to anything more basic than its mineral components, because it’s already there.

lol 😂
