Finally got the Box Turtle AFC mostly dialed in, yay multicolor! (pxlmo.com)
 

Finally got the Box Turtle AFC mostly dialed in, yay multicolor!

Our multimedia dept lends out this card game, and I guess the thin cardboard box fell apart? So they asked for a sturdier one. Made from 100% ASTM6691-certified biodegradable PHA of course.

Oblique angle of a rugged-looking hinged yellow box, approximately the size and shape required to hold a deck of cards. It has two hinges, one pink and one black. On the front in landscape, in black text, it says "Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza". To the right of that are three vertical lines, the first two black and the third pink. The middle line is slightly longer.

Started making my own unusual tofu

I got really inspired by Mary's Test Kitchen on YT. This one is green split pea, it was delicious but I didn't do a good enough job decanting off the milk from the starch. Ultimately what I'd like to do is try this with some of our very obscure native edibles, like thicket bean, bundleseed, etc.

If this successfully crossposts to Lemmy, you may only see one pic and have to click through to see the rest!

A pot of light green creamy liquid (pea milk) on the stove. There is a big wooden spoon and a candy thermometer sticking out of it. It appears to be about 100° F.

(NE USA) How I feel every time I'm picking all the invasive Red Dead Nettle that's choking out the sedges and such, lol (pxlmo.com)

I get there's supposed to be a line between naturalized and invasive, but from where I'm standing Lamium purpureum definitely crosses that threshold. Also it doesn't even taste good! And it spreads powdery mildew to my Monarda.

The cover of the game Red Dead Redemption 2, except it's been heavily edited. Now it says "MY YARD PRESENTS: RED DEAD NETTLE ∞". The big cowboy's face has some Lamium purpureum plants superimposed onto it, all the little cowboy silhouettes have been replaced with it, and also the trees in the background. It looks like they shoddily tried to match the aesthetics/color/etc of the original.

Finally, after YEARS of trial and error failures, today I've made Thicket Beans palatable and not poisonous! (pxlmo.com)
 

Finally, after YEARS of trial and error failures, today I've made Thicket Beans palatable and not poisonous! I went whole hog, 24 hour soak with 2 changes of salty, alkaline water. Boiling in another change. Pressure cooking after. And then boiling AGAIN. Lastly stewing with some sauce as a faux baked beans. It's pretty good! The process could certainly be optimized but now I know it IS at least doable.

A hand holding a glass jar, in the background there's a tangle of vegetation. Some of the vegetation are bean pods on vines, growing all through everything else. The jar has some small, shiny black beans in it. Their sizes are quite variable.

So, I planted some American Spikenard years ago despite very little (and conflicting) information online about it's edibility (assets.pxlmo.com)
 

So, I planted some American Spikenard years ago despite very little (and conflicting) information online about it's edibility. You can read that it is edible, it's not, it is but tastes horrible, and/or it's tasty. Well finally, I am here to confirm that it is in fact DELICIOUS and tastes like root beer!!! 😍 Unsurprising for this genus I guess, but there you have it.

Closeup on a cluster of tiny Aralia racemosa berries growing on a short shrub. Most of them are still green, and there are even a few flowers left, but some are a dark dark purple. These ripe few look very juicy.
