processing my sumac harvest
2017-09-21T01:54:26Z via Pumpa To: Public CC: Followers
After drying my sumac harvest and rubbing the berries off the clusters, I ground it by hand with mortar and pestle.
Passed through a sieve to remove the seeds and stems, an amazing spice emerged.
This is the first time I've processed a spice. It reminds me of processing tobacco in the barn as a kid. So tactile, hands become sticky with dry sap, and it smells amazing.

Found this gorgeous thing on a bush, in a spot that I'm eyeing as a site for a small pond.

solar update

Been online via satellite for over 24 hours straight and have not used dialup at all for ~5 days. Solar upgrade is really working out; batteries have recovered significantly in the past month and despite summer waning, I have more power every day.

sumac + garlic
2017-08-30T20:09:07Z via Pumpa To: Public CC: Followers
Cut a bumper crop of sumac just ahead of the rains. Amazing flavor.
Don't know yet how to process/store it, but I did make this jar of infused sumac garlic olive oil.

I love the warm colors in these photos!Anna's garlic

Split out the biggest cloves of Anna's garlic and planted them today.
The remaining pile-o-garlic should satisfy me for a month.

I shouldn't be surprised, but I admit I am always a little taken aback when I'm reminded of how many CPUs are anonymously buried in our systems:
"However, for the PCH, Intel manufactures this core with 22-nm semiconductor technology, making the microcontroller highly energy-efficient. There are three such cores in the new PCH: Management Engine (ME), Integrated Sensors Hub (ISH), and Innovation Engine (IE). The latter two can be enabled or disabled depending on the PCH model and the target platform; the ME core is always enabled."Charles Stanhope at 2017-08-29T21:57:52Z

Did I mention the alien abduction part of my trip to Canada?

To add to the surrealness, that place is home to refugees from the USA. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/03/world/americas/montreal-refugees-stadium-housing.html
@joeyh@identi.ca politely abducted and offered beer and poutine?

What did you think of Canada (or Quebec really)?
PS. I sat across a table in Boston from you for a brief time, as I arrived late to jxself's organized pre-LP dinner/get-together from my bus Montreal->Boston.

I walked over this bridge probably a hundred times, but never went down to see the waterfall. Let alone hiked down the gorge to Ithaca before.
Probably sums up my Cornell experience in some way.

The place is called Cascadilla? Interesting =)
Also, very very nice!
