had cauliflower soup just last night.
DJ AskTheQuestion 7:33:35 AM
:0 Just imagine your state of health! Sounds nice
DJ AskTheQuestion 7:33:56 AM
I have two heads in my fridge ready to form some upcoming dinner's centerpiece
Dale Hazelton 7:35:19 AM
my wife roasted it in the oven first before making the soup. made it a little smokier in flavor.
DJ AskTheQuestion 7:40:05 AM
Full support of multi-heating-method cooking!
Roffle 8:29:35 AM
Two heads in the fridge! Coming in late to conversation can be so disturbing!
Roffle 8:29:52 AM
Good morning!
Dale Hazelton 8:30:35 AM
was doing some dishes and chores....i wonder about the value of this mud, how it's processed packaged and protected.
Roffle 8:31:49 AM
Doing dishes? Mud? WTF? too funny!
Roffle 8:32:29 AM
I really need to read back a bit.
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:32:34 AM
Not much! $25 https://www.baseballrubbingmud.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Session_ID=ec9a67c8c0b6191e0bba5b791b394a08&Screen=PROD&Store_Code=BRM&Product_Code=LBRM-Sm&Category_Code=Baseball_Rubbing_Mud
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:32:44 AM
Roffle, be glad neither of them is yours!
Roffle 8:33:15 AM
Oh yeah! :)
Dale Hazelton 8:37:57 AM
50 dollars a pound is pretty good.
Roffle 8:42:49 AM
My girlfriend is a microbiologist working mainly with plants and developed a GMO strain of lettuce at PENN that will clean the dental plaque from your teeth with an enzyme.The future is gonna be weird.
Dale Hazelton 8:43:05 AM
i have a pothos plant that i was given in 1985. right now it's just in a glass of water and is a couple of rooted vines,
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:44:22 AM
Dental lettuce!!! Sign me up please
Roffle 8:44:34 AM
IKR?
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:44:41 AM
Power to your ever-lasting plant Dale!
Roffle 8:45:24 AM
Immortal! Talk abourt an evergreen. :)
Andromeda 8:53:36 AM
Pothos are great. I have a succulent (African milk tree, euphorbia trigona) that's been just as easy to keep and propagate. I love how cool it looks and it's pretty unbothered compared to other succulents I've grown
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:54:27 AM
Incredible, thanks for the heads up Andromeda!

Good morning DSM! We strive to be better than your Standard Online Fare
David Troetschel 9:10:16 AM
Can you cover Yarrow?
DonatingSupportingMonthly 9:11:45 AM
Not sure if you've ever talked about stapelia gigantea, the zulu plant, before but if not perhaps on a future show?
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:13:33 AM
Thanks David and DSM! Yarrow is plenty amenable for today :) Zulu plant will be controversial for another time!
Roffle 9:14:15 AM
Hey DSM! Zulu plant? The English expeditionary forces tried to eradicate that I think.
Roffle 9:15:22 AM
Turns out that they were the invasive species.
DonatingSupportingMonthly 9:15:53 AM
Hey Roffle! Did they? Lol, I have one! I love and hate it all at once.
DonatingSupportingMonthly 9:16:40 AM
Also, very intrigued by the dental lettuce!
Roffle 9:17:23 AM
I am just joking. It sounds cool if it's controversial though.
DonatingSupportingMonthly 9:18:27 AM
oh, I get it now. need more coffee for sure
Roffle 9:18:34 AM
Yeah, what's going on in labs around the world is nutzo for sure DSM.
Roffle 9:20:15 AM
Zulu Dawn (the movie) is my only reference.LOL
Roffle 9:23:49 AM
Lady Bugs are attracted to aphids. Maybe the aphids are not attracted to the plant me thinks.
Andromeda 9:25:37 AM
usually aphids are on my plants because ants love farming them
Roffle 9:27:08 AM
Ants are bosses. I sure hope they stay small.
Roffle 9:29:51 AM
Even if they are radioactive.
DonatingSupportingMonthly 9:30:14 AM
Them! was pretty good, but I think it'd be far more terrifying in reality
Roffle 9:31:12 AM
Yes, them was a great movie as a kid.
Andromeda 9:31:52 AM
would milkweed count as an amenable plant?
Roffle 9:32:01 AM
That one Outer Limits was the ultimate creep with ants for me as a kid.
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:33:56 AM
I am calling milkweed as a controversial one: "Some northern species of milkweed contain almost no toxins while others seem to contain so much of the toxins that they are even lethal to monarch caterpillars."
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:34:56 AM
But I'm saving room for the African Milk Tree
Andromeda 9:40:13 AM
Oh wow didn't know that!
Roffle 9:43:07 AM
Off to the polls! Smash that pumpkin people! Halloween is over. Go vote if you haven't already please. P.S. Nice to see Origami is still in the fold! Later
Dale Hazelton 9:44:50 AM
had to run out briefly...had several pounds of chicken of the woods grow on the north side of a dying cherry this year. dehydrated a lot of it and out in vacuum bags. always start with a small portion to be safe.
DonatingSupportingMonthly 9:45:54 AM
Later Roffle!
TAndy: Monthly Doner 🥙 9:47:53 AM

Dale Hazelton 9:49:17 AM
had three or four morrels a couple of times. pheasant tale as well and tried marinating those and baking but they were still like plywood. haven't seen any puffballs in the lawn in years.
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:50:39 AM
Nice to see you today Roffle :) Thanks for joining today!
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:50:57 AM
Small portions indeed, Dale! Foraging is fun but it also takes your well being into your own hands
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:51:13 AM
Never found a morel yet :(
DonatingSupportingMonthly 9:53:51 AM
Thanks dj atq, enjoyed all the plant talk on this anxiety ridden day.
Li Maria 9:57:49 AM

DJ AskTheQuestion 9:58:09 AM
