Oh, Brawndo is my favorite outside beverage. There’s nothing like slipping on my Crocs, standing out in my yard with my guns, sipping on Brawndo and pissing into the wind.
I grind my own coffee every morning for pour-over, with my digital kettle that heats the water precisely, and I use a timer to pace the brew for optimal flavor. You may think this is excessive effort but let ms assure you it is worth it! Nothing can beat the flavor of lightly roasted single origin pure robusta coffee.
it is hit or miss, depends if you like a strong cup. Also takes a few tries to get the water to grounds ratio until it makes one you like. Or if it doesn’t auto stop you gotta keep an eye on how dark it gets
I have a couple of mulberry cuttings I’m trying to get started - it’s a bit early, but they usually do pretty well; I’m going to start on an apple tree next, and may do more after. We’ll see.
I’d also like to go hiking and find some pawpaw, more persimmon, and whatever else I can find.
Possibly. We have a peach tree that we’ve grafted onto from a couple of different species, so we’ll just do the same for apples if we must. I haven’t done the research yet. To be honest, I didn’t help with the peach tree, and I’m just now kinda getting into trying to preserve the native fruit trees we have around my home, so I don’t quite know what I’m doing yet.
Well, kinda, in the sense that I treat my entire existence as a workshop. Always tinkering, but never really accomplishing anything. Like Inspector Clouseau but with no case to speak of. A tortured artist whose only accomplished piece will be the grease stain on the cat-scratched couch. Too busy waiting on life to actually enjoy it. Too much to do to accomplish anything at all.
But I’m doing better than I used to. I used to drink!
I must admit, there was one single time when I thought “maybe homemade wine will be ok” and it was not. So I did backslide 2 years ago, but I don’t think it should reset the counter. Though I’ve never gotten an opinion on it.
I wouldn’t call it ragebait, per se; just a cheeky li’l post. I’ve gotten a couple of decent conversations out of it so far, actually. Feel free to check the comments, or choose your own topic :-D
It wasn’t intentionally to start conversations, but that’s what I’m taking from it. It was simply me noticing my counter was messy, thought, “it’d be funny to make it worse and then act like it’s normal. I should add a glue gun to reference my post from last night,” making it worse, adding a glue gun to reference my post from last night, and then took a picture of it like it was normal. The coffee conversation was merely because the coffee maker was in the center of the picture. If it had been my mulberry cutting, I would’ve asked about plants or plastic bottles or something. It’s comedy because it’s not the expected norm. And it implies that I eat hot glue sticks.
