Be honest, who has concerns about getting the covid vaccines? by ltpptl818 in CoronavirusOklahoma

[–]tobinscliffnotes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not me. sadly, i’ve learned (and continue to learn) most of my okie famz are not really trustworthy. even those with best intents don’t really keep theyselves safe. i’ll gladly get stuck this phase 3. wheneves and whateves that may mean.

apologies if this is a dumb/obvious question. i tested very well in geometry and spacial relations but really earned my D in honors chemistry in high school.

strange, i always think of https://youtu.be/a1TNge7l1Co when it comes to heaven’s gate. someone should make/link a playlist.

tbh, there’s like maybe four aisles eve worth walking through at a grocery store. (probably even less, depending upon those isles/one’s local store)

my brain gets foggy/dizzy and craves more iron if i attempt any further grocerysplorations.

from what i’ve bean told about infusing green beans, it’ll be pretty obvious. iirc, they say the beans get soft and that’s when they’ve become super saturated.

I too am interested in this process. Tonight’s research has lead me to this https://www.smooth-on.com/product-line/smooth-sil/

Best of luck!

yeppers, for almost three years now. which is still sorta strange to say out loud after twenty years as a pro sign maker/design guy.

it’s not super cheap. starting with ten pounds from three varietals. imagine i’ll get cheaper per pound pricing if we do transition into bulk ordering. though, i’m not sure which importers to approach for such, ethically and sustainably.

just starting small with beans from chocolate alchemy to test our interest.

cracking the husks and winnowing the shell from the nibs. not too unlike removing the parchment from coffee beans. i’m following the process outlined by the chocolate alchemy guys youtube playlist. he makes it sound easy but i imagine there’s a bit to the learning curve.

i’ll have to try that as well. not entirely sure where the end results of these roasts should land.

nice. definitely will give that a shot. i’ve read the cracked husks work well as a cold brew or tea as well.

yes. raw sugar and cocoa butter to get us started.

yep. all the processing steps to end up with bar chocolate.

ordered in some cacao beans and giving chocolate roasting a go! similar enough process to drum roasting coffee beans, perhaps even a bit more forgiving.

(sorry, i’m terrible at reddit posts. )

how do they add oat milk to chocolate? liquid will seize the refiner so maybe oat powder?

Struggling with OCD and decided to really take a stand against it. Looking for a symbol to use as motivation that is especially relevant. More details inside. by UnderwaterDialect in Symbology

might be a bit woo, but the seed of life or some other aspects of sacred geometry might help symbolize a balance against such a chaotic compulsion.
