Damn they made that leaf look so tasty.

One of my favorite Halloween costumes is still a college acquaintance who came to the party as a banana slug. It was so sincere and heartwarming!

You can candy the ginger, which will preserve it a bit and can be used in baked goods or eaten alone!

I have less experience with the curcuma but I’ve seen it added to smoothies. I think it can flavor some toasted nuts for a salad topping, or it can be made into a paste like you’ve done for a curry.

This is why the DPH awareness campaign referenced in the article is so important. This is some predatory bullshit interfering with people’s healthcare. Ain’t always fun being in MA but this is leading by example.

So, not much of a woodworker myself but it looks like the top is in three panels? You could use that as an opportunity for contrast as mentioned above and make the whole project look like it has some design intentionality.

Well I don’t want to get all controversial about it but the thing about India is it’s a country in South Asia with a land area of approximately 3.3 million square kilometers and a population of roughly 1.4 billion. And that might be a hot take, but also we have to keep in mind its primary exports are petroleum goods and textiles. Don’t even get me started on how its borders are the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea, and the Bay of Bengal.
