Mint is the hardiest most invasivest shit ever and like I cannot stress enough how quickly and vigorously it grows. If you ever need mint just like root a cutting and plant it and give it some fertilizer like once a week and you'll have more mint than anybody could ever need for their entire lifetime

I transplanted a basketball sized mint plant into a bigger pot two weeks ago and it's quintupled in size with leaves the size of my hand. I literally do not know what to do with it. I offered like a pound of it to my weed dealer and you know what he said? nah he's trying to kill the shit growing around his house

Looks like a different kinda mushroom than the last one

Should i go take it and rub it on the dead stump in my back yard

J.k it's a teaser this danish animation studio put on their twitter

specifically how his leg hairs, in the pool, would float up and the sun would shine through them and the children at the pool would touch his leg hairs?

the lemmy thread about Trump's mental decline which, of course, could not help but go "Biden was NEVER THIS BAD" made me think of it

Anyway that's the post, i'll let the reader draw their own conclusions

there's so much wild shit out there like, they got a cross between brussel sprouts and kale now, it grows little kale nuggets, it's weird

Im a huge fan of broccolini except idfk what to call it because that's apparently a trade mark of the Del Monte corporation and other places call it "sweet baby broccoli" but that's INACCURATE because it ISN'T BABY BROCCOLI it's actually a cross between BROCCOLI and GAI LAN which yields the succulent floral broccoli tops combined with the crisp crunchy asparagus like stalk of the gai lan and altogether a super premium ultra vegetable. I love that shit

If you want broccolini tips i've been tossing it in a light lemon garlic vinaigrette and then throwing it on the char grill until it's charred and people go omg your broccolini, it is a so amazing

Anyway what are some other good weird brassicas y'all enjoy

Like if you think about all the time wasted, that people are made to waste, just because google was like "if we made this work shittier people would be on google more," all that shit adds up.

There's only 42,076,800 minutes in 80 years, so if google makes every adult in the country waste even a minute of their time, that's already multiple lifespans worth of "wasted time," and I can promise you the actual number of wasted minutes in the ten plus years they've been shitfucking their own product is orders of magnitude greater than that

so like idk i guess what I'm saying is google owes us a few lives and we should start with its execs

First take some potatoes and boil them or steam them until they're tender, then let those bad boys cool down

Once they're cool enough to handle, get your fingers all up in there and tear them apart all goblin mode until they're bite sized chunks

Then go deep fry the chunks until they're a dark golden brown

Congratulation, you have now cooked a really good potato, now you can toss it in seasoning or a sauce or just eat like like a fuckin animal, either way you'll be like "oh, oh wow"

I can figure it out on my own i just thought y'all might have some better ideas for me to steal

Current plan so far is grilled eggplant steaks I'm gonna rub in olive oil and crushed toasted fennel seed/cumin/etc and serve with a drizzly lemon garlic tahini sauce, with one side being grilled broccolini that's also gonna be lemony and garlicky and good

the sous chef and i were lazy on Friday and didn't really figure out third thing but he was like "what about chickpeas and uhhhh tomatoes" so my current plan is roast some chickpeas, roast some diced tomatoes, toss it all together and season it like if i made harissa paste but leave the tomatoes chunky

any other ideas chat, or does that sound good, i get nervous my menu will be stupid. but chickpeas add protein and starch so like..
