Also. Meringue freezes like a dream. I make one with 6 egg whites and it fills a baking sheet. Break up into pieces and freeze for ALL THE Eton Mess. Again. You're welcome.
I literally just found out that when it's hot, Porkchop becomes a GIMME ALL THE FROZEN BLUEBERRIES, MOM dog. He won't touch the fresh ones, so I didn't think he was that kinda pup, but OMG THE FACE when I didn't give him more.... :D
I gave two pints to a friend and two pints to one of my neighbors, and then came home and ate a pint for dinner. (Because I'm an adult and can do what I want. :D)
I'm trying to pawn half of it on the neighbors. :). (It was cheaper to buy the six pint boxes than it was to buy just two pints themselves, so...it was totally a practical decision. Ahem.)
But I'm def going to be making jam. And probably a bunch of ice cream. :)
Eliza, I was trying to get the word out about Facebook's privacy thingie, and - in the middle of sharing a link (https://www.facebook.com/privacy/genai ) to explain that AI would be using people's posts (per that page) to "train" AI - I was suspended from Facebook. I hadn't even hit "post" yet, and it did that. I have 180 days to appeal it, but to appeal, I have to give them my phone number... which isn't going to happen.
I want to say I'm shocked, but....Zuckerberg. This whole selling-your-stuff-to-train-AI thing must be super lucrative, because it's bringing all the shadiness out like selling your email address (etc) used to do, before we finally got that legislated.
I hope you're able to find a way to wrestle control of your account back from the Metademons, though. :(
Agreed. I hate that I'm so abruptly muted, and without warning. I should have followed your example and nudged friends to Substack, but I kept putting it off. Other priorities, y'know... sigh. Right now, I'm utterly rattled that it happened before I even hit the "post" button, but I'm also going to take a couple of days to decide if I even _want_ to go back to Facebook. I've relied on it to remain in touch with lots & lots of friends and family, but.... wow, this was a wake-up call about relying on just one means of connection. (Clearly, you were smarter than me about this.)
Most of the reason I moved away was for that very muting thing you're talking about. It might be a little different if there was literally ANY way to talk to an actual human about the automods' findings, but we're just left by the side of the information superhighway with no cell phone and thirteen cents in our pockets, trudging toward somewhere where we might get a drink of social interaction with people we have no other way to talk to.
The stakes are too high for them to be playing as fast and loose with our access like that. It's too much power, and it's time there was some balance...or time for mass exodus until there is.
Is your timeline public? Want me to leave a message with your substack or something?
I'd love that.... tomorrow. I don't have anything on substack right now, but I will in the morning. Right now, I'm literally shaking like a leaf, I'm so rattled/angry about this. So, I'm going to go take a nice hot shower, and climb into bed to watch inane reality TV with my husband. I'll let you know when the Substack site is ready for viewing. Thank you!
Uhm. So maybe not *quite* enough strawberries. Because Eton Mess. Google it. You're welcome.
I can totally buy more. The berry guy has a permanent stand.
And I'm gonna *need more* now that I know about this. :D

Berries freeze well. Also, Nugget says Ollie would like some berries, maybe in some plain Greek yogurt. And if he doesn't, she'll take 'em!
I can gladly share!

Looks like you need more raspberries.
I am not sure that you got enough berries!!! They look amazing!
Question: how do you keep them fresh? tips? tricks?
I gave two pints to a friend and two pints to one of my neighbors, and then came home and ate a pint for dinner. (Because I'm an adult and can do what I want. :D)
Storage isn't usually a problem. :D :D :D
When in doubt, make jam.
This is really a life lesson everyone needs.
So freezer jam? Or cooked jam if you don’t have space in your freezer? Enjoy all the fruit it looks wonderful

Glad to do it. I'll be watching for your signal.
Enjoy the trash TV! <3
