I eat peaches with the skin on, but usually rinsing them and rubbing them with a paper towel gets most of the fuzz texture off, since I'm also not a big fan of that
yeah lol i'd absolutely eat nectarines before i'd peel a peach
Unless I'm going to a farmers market where they have the good shit I end up buying nectarines more than peaches anyway just because supermarkets tend to have dogshit peaches but okay nectarines.
And, time to turn my phone off again to enjoy the trip instead of scrolling social media (which I can do at home). Also, I only have so much battery. 🙃
Fun fact, the cat can slip out of his harness when spooked by a passing car. We're hanging out in the tent with him until we can sort out this logistical wrinkle.
So I think that when I took off after Benny when he got loose I got into some poison ivy/oak. I'm normally careful about such things, but I had to be quick to catch him.
I washed my arms immediately after and slathered them with afterbite (which I figured was the most useful thing we had on hand) but there was some itchiness/rash shortly thereafter. Fortunately Benny seems to have been unaffected.
Well, we forgot to bring bug spray. Rookie mistake, but it's been a while. Ran off to the nearby pharmacy to pick some up, then we'll finish setting up camp.
Doing some last minute checking of the #camping gear for our trip tomorrow. We haven't touched any of it in like six years. I was sure the batteries in our lantern would be dead. I tested them and they're fully charged. I'm impressed.
I just pulled some Energizer lithium AAs from an old set of FRS/GMRS handheld radios. The batteries have "expiration" dates of 2010, but they read 1.7 V on my multimeter, 14 years later. These batteries are rated for a 10-year shelf life, so they are 24 years old.
Ugh, I hate that. My current EDC flashlight has a parasitic drain like that, so I have to keep the tailcap partially unscrewed so the battery isn't dead when I actually need it.
In this remastered episode I talk with author Mary Mahoney who details her experiences in The Children of God, talking us through the trials of her memoir. Mary
Cast your ears back to the time I was given the chance to interview the legendary Jon Atack LIVE on stage at Crimecon UK. An experience I won't soon forget, and
