12:59 @LAGilman "torture and kill" in that order, also not so effective. *wry grin*. #
13:01 @ailbhe it's a minivan: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Voyager #
13:07 @mmwwah coconut milk retains its flavour when frozen, but not its texture, so it depends whether that matters to you (it separates solids) #
13:15 @azurelunatic *urk*. *hatred*. #
13:17 i should go to dollar store to pick up some relatively nice swag for geocaching. alternative: list of small things i can make for the cool. #
13:24 @mmwwah whisking only temporarily helps IME. tho it doesn't really curdle either; the solids don't clump if you let it thaw all the way. #
13:25 @mmwwah it takes considerably longer to thaw than ice, btw. #
13:39 @ailbhe *much sympathy*. #
13:41 @ailbhe *ow*ow*ow* #
13:42 @ailbhe but gardenwork in spring always does that to me; it sucks me in and i forget i'm not in the best shape possible. #
14:04 @mmwwah i would just freeze it because i am not that picky about perfect texture in my soup. :) #
14:06 @ailbhe oh, that's much worse. at least i like it; hating it would suck. i guess you can't just cover it with that rubbery playground stuff. #
14:07 #rolluptherim season has started, the perfect marketing ploy. and yes, i will as usual be a fool and participate. it'd be uncanadian not to. #
14:15 @ailbhe ah yes. all the young kids i know are fascinated with watching growing things, so even if one hates the work, that'll help. #
14:17 now pondering what would be a kid-friendly garden with minimal work requirements. this is probably not an easy thing to do. #
14:31 @anahcrow @diannefox thinking more generically for a friend who is pregnant and can't work hard to make the space great for her kids. #
14:42 found the square foot beds i made last year to be more productive and easier to take care of than containers. better yet to raise them 12". #
14:42 beds, even small ones, make water management easier. #
14:44 i did containers when i lived on a boat, which was better than nothing, but watering was a problem. #
14:44 that's when i found out that tomatoes and cucumbers grow great hanging down from baskets. #
14:47 fine gravel is better than sand for a box, because cats are less likely to defecate in it. but it doesn't build as well. maybe a tarp cover? #
14:50 a playhouse? i would have LOVED a playhouse when i was little. still would love it now, for hanging out and reading. #
14:57 tnx to @anahcrow and @diannefox have list of kid-friendly plants. #
14:57 and now to go buy swag. #
21:10 @ignignokt_ github is what everyone i know uses. sharable is free, private costs money. #
21:11 @ailbhe oh, that sounds marvelous. raised beds make things much easier on backs; highly recommended. #
21:14 @ignignokt_ the above came from the *poing*. #
22:17 @amberfoxfire *laugh* #
23:39 i like this bundle, and the charities: RT @MacHeist: It’s the MacHeist nanoBundle 2… 7 Top Mac apps for just $19.95! macheist.com #
