https://www.exoticrainforest.com/Epipremnum%20aureum%20pc.html The above website shows pictures of how Golden Pothos leaves look as they mature in the wild. Apparently, they can look a lot different than most of us are probably used to who don't live somewhere tropical. Anyway, take a look! ...read more

Here is a list of golden pothos breeds: • Glacier • Hawaiian • Jade Pothos • Jessenia • Manjula • Marble Queen • Neon Pothos • Pearls and Jade Sources: • https://leafyplace.com/types-of-pothos-plants/ I didn't add Golden Pothos as a breed, because it seems to refer to the whole ...read more

Winco brand canned crushed pineapple tastes excellent, currently. Perhaps the best on the market. It tastes like Hawaiian pineapple, but it's a product of the Philippines. The ingredients are pineapple, pineapple juice, and citric acid. The citric acid definitely improves the flavor. I love it. ...read more

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/12/201203113230.htm This science article tells about how blackcurrants have a positive effect on pist-meal glucose digestion. I find it fascinating that they say the portion size required is much less than previously thought (because I'm convinced th...read more

So, I made some baked spaghetti, today. Here's what I did: I blended up a quart of home-canned stewed tomatoes from 2019 (including all the juice, skin, and seeds), with the following things: the equivalent of one or two bay leaves, a liberal amount of basil, extra virgin olive oil, granulate...read more

At long last, here are some seeds rated for zones 4 through 9, and they're very inexpensive, too! I've never shopped with this vendor (so, I can't say what it's like). http://www.treeseeds.com/white-mulberry-tree-seeds

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/10/201029115836.htm I have my doubts that a sweet orange is a direct parent of grapefruit. Pomelos are not as bitter as grapefruit (they taste like tropical fruit punch, basically). Neither are oranges. Why would they combine into something more bitt...read more

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/10/201029115836.htm Apparently, at least some commercial cypress mulch has been shown that it is not 100% cypress, if there is any cypress in it at all.

I'm dehydrating a few bags of small limes (cut into eight slices each; skins, seeds, and all), and some tomatoes, currently. I think they're key limes, but I could be wrong. I plan to see if I can powder them. I wanted to dehydrate the peels separately, but they're very difficult to separate fro...read more

I previously reviewed Great Value macaroni and cheese from Walmart. This review is from Winco brand Macaroni and cheese from Waremart. I shall compare and contrast the two, abbreviating them as W (Winco) and G (Great Value). W has much smaller noodles before they are cooked. After cooking fo...read more

Best if used by date: 4 Feb 2022 Barcode: 078742358857 We got some of this within the last few weeks, from Walmart in the store (I didn't actually go myself and get it). Anyway, it took about 7 minutes to cook, which is nice. It's one and a third cups of macaroni in the box, with a tradit...read more

I figured common amaranth would have seeds just like the cultivated grain amaranths, since the plants look so much the same—but no. We harvested some the other day, and the seeds were like tiny black specks. I wasn't expecting them to be so small, neither did I expect them to be black (there's n...read more

Ingredients: * 1 quart stewed tomatoes * Black pepper (a liberal amount) * Onion powder * Garlic powder (or else granulated garlic) * Milk (a liberal amount) * Himalayan pink sea salt * Parmesian cheese (a liberal amount is fine) * A bay leaf (optional) Directions: Blend up the quart...read more

Here's an excellent carob drink recipe (without exact measurements): * Carob * Almond milk (not sweetened or flavored) * Brown sugar Heat it on the stovetop. Anyway, it tastes kind of like hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows in it. It's not bitter at all. But yes, it doesn't taste...read more

So, before I last went to sleep, I commenced dehydrating all our hot peppers, except the ones on the plants that I somehow missed during harvest. There always seem to be a few stragglers. I'm no stranger to cutting up hot peppers (including superhots) with unprotected hands (although I don't ...read more

Okay, in 2021, I'm focusing on sweet peppers, including several orange sweet peppers. No hot peppers, this year. They're all Capsicum annuum sweet peppers. This is mostly the beginning of a breeding project. I'm hoping to breed prolific, early, purple/orange, medium-sized, cone-shaped, thick-...read more

You probably know that black pepper is a common seasoning to add a little extra flavor, but did you know it has some pretty remarkable traits? 1. If you don't like the taste/smell of cloves, add black pepper! I got some turkey franks (turkey hotdogs) the other day, and they tasted strongly of...read more

https://www.tomatojunction.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=1540 I posted some significant stuff about this year in the thread above. You have to register to see the pictures. Maybe I'll put them here some time.

https://attunehealth.com/i-drank-celery-juice-everyday-for-30-days-heres-what-happened/ I thought this article was worth remembering. It talks about the potential benefits of celery juice (it talks a lot about it). Then it goes on to talk about the writer's experiment in drinking celery juice...read more

So, apparently, capsaicin inhibits collagen fiber formation, but it improves the fibers at the same time. This could be very interesting information for those with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (some people who have some symptoms but lack others might benefit from capsaicin, and some people should prob...read more
