Any recs for an oil that is liquid at room temperature that won't solidify in the fridge? like if I want to make salad dressing ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. EVOO and avocado oil will solidify and has to be left out to warm up for a while. I'm trying to avoid veg oil, corn oil and other seed oils. #asknostr #nostr #foodstr #grownostr #realfood #growyourown

The volunteer squash vines that popped up in the pepper beds are loaded with squash. Looks like they are probably spaghetti squash.

A petite ribeye for supper. Smoked on the Traeger for a couple of hours and then reverse seared. #Tomahawk #ribeye #beef #Angus #realfood #eatlocal #meat #keto #carnivore #nostr #grownostr

I used the V slicer to make thin strips of some centercut squash, the. salted them to draw out some of the moisture. Then I used them like the "noodle" layer in some lasagna. Delicious. The centercut squash have a lot less moisture in them and are "meatier" so I didn't wind up with a ton of water in the lasagna. #foodstr #squash #realfood #lasagna #beef #beefstr #realfood #growyourown #eatlocal #Homestead #homesteading #iowa #summer #nostr #grownostr

The garden is loving all of the rain and humidity. The corn shot up probably 6 inches since I took this pic a couple of days ago. I had some volunteer squash come up with my Ozark Giant bell peppers, decided to just let them grow and see what happens. I think the leaves will help protect the peppers from sun scald. The pumpkins and melons are looking great too. Also, this year I've come to terms with the fact that I will never have a garden that looks like the ones you see on TV or YouTube. I let the weeds do what they want in between the beds, and I'm ol with that. #nostr #grownostr #foodstr #growyourown #realfood #Homestead #homesteading #iowa #summer

I used to think that I spend too much time on the internet. But after several days of seeing "hawk tuah" references all over the place and having absolutely no clue what anyone is talking about I've determined that I still need to spend less time on the internet. . .

I was suffering through a medical staff meeting this morning when I realized something. I was looking around the room and realized that the ADMINISTRATIVE people in the room outnumbered the MEDICAL STAFF by a factor of almost 2 to 1. . . . let that sink in for a minute. I had never really thought about it until that moment. #Healthcare #clownworld #wtfiswrongwithus #medicine #usa #nostr #grownostr #health #sickness
