 PoW notes only would be a nice filtered view! 
 Who did that?! 
 First I laughed, then I said, “…yeah, that’s what kinda happens when parents are too shy to talk about this question”

 Still check out the website, it’s really good. 
 Is your reason not to just about what you said above, or something else? 
 My perspective is it’s good to speak out against things that are evil or unwise. It leaves room for people to choose many different positive things TO do. It is more respecting of freedom and individual choice. 

Telling someone what TO do is important for guidance. But telling someone what not to do is important for boundaries. I see both as necessary in everyday life as well as churches, since you brought them up. 
 Been hanging out in @Companions Corner while prepping jewelry for sale in time for #anarcon

What do y’all think is better with these dark clay spiral pendants:  the pale cordage or the black?  I could see either working well.

 What are your favorite scents? #asknostr 
 In no particular order (and I may come back with more):

Hickory nut rind, it’s the smell of the forest for me (other good ones are sweetgum leaf and tulip poplar leaf)
Woodsmoke
Good fresh coffee
Cedarwood
Amber
Myrrh
Osmanthus
Bison grass 
Rose and peony 
Clove
Cardamom
All the citruses and their flowers
Sunflower 
Hazelnut
Almond
Tomato leaf
Rosemary
Star jasmine 
Jasmine 
Gardenia
Jujube flower 
Honey locust pod and flower
American persimmon fruit
Good vanilla 
Leather 
Clay and glaze tend to have a subtle particular smell (not reclaim, which is stinky, but the fresh stuff) 
 How could I not list tea?  🤦‍♀️ 
REALLY good black, green, and oolong teas. 
Some oolongs could be perfumes in their own rights. 

Also
Narcissus / daffodil and Carolina Jessamine (unrelated but smell similar to each other)
Probably lotus flower (never actually smelled one, but some lotus scented teas are beautiful. Others smell awful. Idk what that deal is) 
 … 👀 

Ginger 
Honeysuckle

Ok putting down the phone now and going to bed 👋 
 Me: *preparing to organize the Zap Cooking newsletter* Ok, let's start. 

Also Me: *thinking abou... 
 Would love to see more perfuming stuff on Nostr. @LeatherMint is interested in branching into colognes someday, for example. 

I’m a super smell oriented person 🤣 it goes right along with being a foodie but is not limited to it 
 Ears builds trust, apparently.

Sometimes you gotta show both your ears.

 More details as I figure them out... But nostr:nprofile1qqsf65j2u50exmntuyx0mqxnqk2scd3qn8v326c7c... 
 Yes!  Do it!  !!! 
 Any good way to search my old posts? I want to update a months old post.

 I am constantly wishing for a solution to this, as well 
 Trying not to burn the garlic. I’m so very good at burning things in the kitchen. Effortless 
 Adding just a little bit of water or broth can help give you a little breathing room. 
 Now I have four of these hand-carved, braid-handled tree #mugs for #sale 

I’m very proud of them!

They hold about a cup, and are dishwasher, microwave, and food safe. 

Item price (all you pay if we can arrange in-person pickup in Northern Virginia, or at Anarcon Sept. 28):  $50 or the BTC equivalent of $45 each. 

Shipping anywhere in the U.S.:  $10 or the BTC equivalent of $10

These match one of the soap pumps which is still for sale for $52 or the BTC equivalent of $46.80. One of you will be able to outfit your kitchen with matching handmade pottery!

If you order more than one item, shipping will need to be recalculated.

 Thank you! 
 Thanks 😎 
 They were never there. I plan to phase out my Etsy this month. 
 Possibly. Short term goal is just post about all items for sale on Nostr. Long term goal is build a website of my own. Shopstr is a possibility in the middle somewhere as I continue to check it out. 
  @shopstr  @calvadev⚡️

1.  Weird thing -- even after refreshing and hitting Load More, Shopstr says I have many messages (62 in this pic) but also says I have no messages.

2.  Is it planned to display usernames instead of npubs at some point?  I think it would be a good idea.

Thank you!

 There is a person in our neighborhood who goes all in on Halloween decorations. 
He probably has ... 
 I would love to see this. 

My mother in law told me there used to be a house around here that made hundreds of jack o lanterns. There was even a magazine article about them. I think they stopped in 2020, though. 
 Wtf. Who even thinks to do something like this

 Bratwurst and ginger scallion sausages from McLean Organic Butcher, with celery root and shishito peppers roasted in the pan and absorbing sausage grease 🤤 

Yellow Bird organic sriracha is better tasting than the original Huy Fong sriracha. I said what I said. And it’s good with these amazing, floral-flavored bratwurst!

Check out this butcher if you can, some of the best sausages I’ve ever had

 我的教堂的每周一篇经文:


路加福音1:67-79 (CSBS):
他的父亲撒迦利亚被圣灵充满, 就预言说:
“主——以色列的神是当受颂赞的,  
 因为他临到了他的子民,  
 并施行了救赎.
他在他的仆人大卫家中,  
 为我们兴起了一只救恩的角,
正如他自古以来藉着圣先知们的口所说的,
拯救我们脱离敌人、脱离一切恨我们之人的手,
向我们的祖先施怜悯,  
 不忘他神圣的约,
就是向我们的先祖亚伯拉罕所起的誓,
使我们从敌人的手中被救出,
在我们所有的日子里无所惧怕,  
 以圣洁和公义事奉他;
而你——孩子啊!  
 你将被称为至高者的先知,  
 因为你将走在主的前面,  
 预备他的路,
藉着罪得赦免,  
 赐给他的子民救恩的知识.
因着我们神怜悯的心肠,  
 黎明的曙光将从高天临到我们,
照亮那些坐在黑暗 
 和死亡阴影中的人,  
 引导我们的脚步进入平安之路. ”

 Yeah I was gonna say hot cocoa with frangelico would also be amazing 😁 
 I also put a dash of frangelico in White Russians, it is so good

 Oh yeah 💪 I hit my #bowlgoal

The secret really was to start with more clay!

BUT I learned that centering six pounds of clay is ✨really hard!✨ Even when it is brand new, right out of the bag with perfect hydration, etc. 

As the old joke goes, how do you end up with a million dollars?  Start with two million… I lost probably 1/3-1/2 the clay to centering issues. 

But I do have my bowl 😁 and now I know to try three or four pounds next time. 

Also, meet the shrink ruler, a cool tool that measures how big your piece WILL BE after it shrinks in firing.

 Kinda want one of my own now. It even has four different shrinkage rates you can view. 
 No, they are based on the kind of clay. 
 Glad somebody on nostr finally said this. nostr:note1crg8k5xyw4jx92fjvauvgydcl880tn4ngar9d8eva2lg... 
 I feel like it’s a common sentiment here despite not being a common conversation topic. 
 Does one have to puff puff in order to paint?  Or is tea an acceptable substitute? 
 Cool 😎 @morelater and I are gonna try to make it sometime 
 My rice wine was about to overflow, so I pipetted some off and had a sample!

It is INCREDIBLY SWEET 🥵 too sweet to drink. 
It also has a funky flavor I wish it didn’t have. But it also has a nice fruity flavor. 
It reminds me of some of my less favorite makgeolli (I like makgeolli but some is better than others… unfortunately the tastier ones have artificial sweeteners I don’t want to drink anymore 😅.)

Wine makers:  I imagine it will become drier the longer I let it ferment, yes?
Will a longer ferment also make funky flavors go away?

 Awesome info, thank you 🙏 😊 
 Haha for sugar overload!  I think I just need to let it ferment longer.

 Talk about an echo chamber though 🤣 
 Think of your top three to five most important core values. 
Do your closest three to five friends share -all- of them?
How many friends do you have that share -all- of them?

This isn’t just a make-you-think question, I’m really curious.
