I see a lot of green tomato canning in my future
  • Apologies, I did not see your reply sooner! I basically cut the tomatoes into quarters along with an onion and bell pepper(s) plus halved jalapenos/any other peppers depending on how spicy you want it. Add a head of garlic too with the top cut off. Spread all of these veggies on a foiled cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and roast in the oven at ~450F for 20-30 min until the edges start to brown. Then let it cool a little and blend it up, adding lime/lemon juice, salt, pepper, cumin, and cilantro to taste.

    What's nice is you can roast whatever you have on hand, and it comes out slightly different each time. You can jar it for longer storage as well :)

  • That's very cool! Chemistry was always my most difficult subject (biology major). We use acetanilide at work as standard reference material for stable isotope analysis of particulate organic matter (e.g., phytoplankton/marine snow), basically as a quality check since it has similar carbon and nitrogen signatures. Always excited to learn interesting science facts! :)

  • Just used spray foam for the first time...
  • This is excellent advice actually! My first instinct after getting it on my skin was to wash it off with soap and water, and learned afterwards that water causes it to cure faster. So it would make sense to dampen the wood to get it to stick better

  • EPA Proposes Ban on Pesticide Widely Used on Fruits and Vegetables
  • Totally random and off-topic, but I like your username. Was literally looking up how potentially toxic acetanilide is the other day when we received a small shipment of it at work. Do you have a fun origin story for your username or any fun facts about the substance?

    Just used spray foam for the first time...

    It's on everything, my fingernails are glued to my skin underneath, I hate everything and most of all I hate spray foam.

    Thanks for letting me rant. I normally read instructions before using a product and now I'm avoiding the room where it's on everything... How fucked am I?

    Update: We've cleaned most of it up from the room... Our hands, not so much lol. I appreciate the advice and support, hopefully y'all got a good laugh on our behalf :)

    Ps. It works great as a diy wax for hairy arms!
