I've never heard of blackberry cobbler, but am unsurprised it exists as that seems the kind of thing you would cobble.

There’s also a lot of salmon berries and the wife grew a blueberry bush that provided. She usually harvests like two huge ziplock bags of berries to freeze for the winter. I don’t really know you but this chat thread is awesome and full of good people ( I mainly lurk 👀 ), so if you happen to live in the Seattle area, come through and pick berries. Although if you live in western WA you basically can’t throw a rock without hitting a Himalayan blackberry bush.

re: old parents chat, my 70 year old dad has Alzheimer’s and with that, Parkinson’s decided to join the party. I’m here at my parents in NorCal right now so my mom can go to my cousins wedding this weekend and I volunteered to babysit my dad and feed him, wipe his rear end, etc. It sucks  He can’t really follow it anymore but we get to watch football this weekend

BlindSite posted:I started watching battlestar galactica cause I've never watched it before. P decent. With some hilariously bad stories and scenes thrown in. The first season of BSG had like no budget at all and what money they did have went to cgi. It’s one of the reasons they spend so much time doing random interior shots. I remember a first season shot of people in a coffee shop. It’s very clearly like coffee shop in an apartment complex and none of the equipment is turned on. They had no idea how successful they were going to be. And to their credit as their budget increased they focused primarily on bigger and better space battles and violins for bear mcreary. You might be the only person on the forums that doesn’t know The Adama Maneuver shot for shot. There was still tons of filler crap though, like 1/3rd of a whole season spent watching lee adama cry in a bar. BSG is like 2.5 seasons of some of the best television ever made. The ending I think has gotten better over time, especially considering the hole the writers put themselves in to early. And ESPECIALLY compared to how game of thrones ended. Anyway enjoy  it loving rules. First season ends really well and then the show just goes loving nuts. Racetrack did nothing wrong Lee Adama is a loving moron this is the best song of the series and and I will not be taking questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f2MnaV_j0Q Best scene in the series? “Know what I miss most? Sports.”

When I moved in to my house, the previous owners had a small row of raspberry bushes, but they always came up really small, and all the rabbits got to the berries before they were even ripe. We ended up ripping them out and planting wildflowers, which I like a lot more. If I ever have a place with a bunch of land, I'd love to plant blueberries, raspberries, and some fruit trees like apples, peaches, and sour cherry.

I need to find some blackberry pie or cobbler, miss that type of stuff. I did see that a cafe nearby is doing pumpkin pie until Thanksgiving, which is notable because it’s rare as hell over here. I have found an appreciation for a few fruits we didn’t see a ton in the U.S. (or at least in the Northwest) and persimmons are one of them. In season here now and very good.

The neighbor behind my place had grapes growing on a trestle near the fence and it made fora nice natural barrier. Alas they were wine grapes so not something you'd just pick up & eat. Also they cut them down and the chain link just doesn't provide the cozy privacy as before.

Air Skwirl posted:My grand parents had a giant raspberry patch in their backyard and when I visited in the summer I would spend entire afternoons just picking berries for them that they'd pay me some miniscule amount of money for, but also just eat a poo poo ton myself. It was pretty awesome. The picking wasn't a requirement, if I didn't want to do it I could do something else, or just eat them, it was just "hey we'll give you a couple bucks if you fill this small bucket with raspberries." My grandparents had the same - like drat near a thousand sq ft area of raspberries in a long line - that we could just go to town on, filling multiple gallon ice cream pails in an afternoon. I really miss doing that. BlindSite posted:Mulberries are my fav They're also my Dad's favorite. Previous owners planted a tree on the edge of the woods in our back yard so it grew really funky. There is (was) a huge branch sticking out as far as it could to get sunlight that had a load of berries that broke off in a storm a few months back. The only other section that is fruiting is high up where it's clear of most of the shade  I don't remember being that on edge watching a show before BSG. Seriously some of the best sci fi ever.

If I ever moved it would be over there. I love that friend. Kurgarra Queen fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Oct 26, 2023 |

I've never heard of this guy before and everything I hear about him now makes me think "Why couldn't we have the guy who said he was David Duke without the baggage or the guy who covered up sexual assault of teenagers?" It is also so weird how all of a sudden everyone rallied behind him as well even though he finished 2nd in their secret ballot of 5. I am fully expecting all kinds of fuckery from this guy as well.

Marionberries are genetically cultivated from blackberries, and the name comes from them originating in Marion County, Oregon. It's a PNW thing so I'm not surprised they're not as well known outside of the area.

As for berries, my favorite wild berries I found were huckleberries out in Indian Heaven Wilderness up in Washington.     There were some mushrooms too but cell phone reception was trash so we couldn't look them up in a timely manner. It does mean I need to pick up a physical copy of this book for further backpacking adventures:

Great I just want to eat a ton of berries now. Maybe in a giant smoothie. We're on day 2 of full time having some foster cats and it's going ok. The foster cats are adjusting well in the bedroom. My fluffy boy has been hissing at the new cats cat towers and has hissed and growled a little when he's smelt the new cats on me. My grey girl though seems to be fine and hasn't growled or hissed, neither have the foster kitties when I've come to hang with them after getting all rubbed up on and petting my resident cats.

I kind of want to get a cat. My friend (and fellow goon) Crosshatch just had their cat die recently and they're already thinking of replacing it, which got me thinking of getting a cat of my own. My housemate has a dog but she lives part-time with his mom. I'm just lazy and taking care of a pet seems a bit much for me.

Android Apocalypse posted:I kind of want to get a cat. As a cat lady I will encourage this. If you go for a kitten you definitely should get two so they can play together, get their energy out together, and it can cut down on them doing stuff like biting your hands since they see them as toys. Adult cats are great because their personalities are more evident. That way if you need a laid back, chill, lazy cat you know what you're getting. Senior and adult cats also have a harder time getting adopted. Either way I think cats are great! They do need affection, play time, snuggles, etc. from their humans but they're also a bit better suited if you work longer hours, need to be away for bit, or have space issues. They are very different from dogs so you should adjust your expectations if you're more of a dog person. Getting a litter robot, while expensive, will also help a lot if you're a bit iffy on scooping poop.

I have a spare cat, please take it, seriously I'm deadly serious someone anyone please take this extra cat he's a very good boy, he wants you to pet him real bad he has cat aids and is at least 8 years old and he sounds gross when he licks himself and he makes a mess when he eats, and these factors add up to "I can't mix him with my other cats" and also "nobody wants him." At this point I'd drive him multiple states to get him a good home where he could snuggle and love his humans for the rest of his life, hopefully humans who can tolerate cleaning sprays of wet cat food off the walls near where he eats, and the gross noise he makes when he licks himself also we've spent thousands of dollars on vet bills on him, he just got his teeth cleaned, he's now free of secret fleas and he may or may not have some sort of allergy but it's unclear
