+mizapf Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 By the way, today I woke up with my second Covid infection. (Slightly sniffing nose, but again fever, could hardly sleep.) The first one crushed my vacation in Naples in October 2022. Now, this time I'm at home, but this will become a very stripped-down version of New Years Eve. 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/346007-off-topic-dumping-thread/page/205/#findComment-5376668 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+InsaneMultitasker Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Our grocery store had fresh rhubarb available from somewhere (southern hemisphere?) - the store helper was not too helpful in that regard - so I extended my 2023 indulgences for one more day to bake a rhubarb pie. For me, a rhubarb pie should not be adulterated by any other fruit, such as strawberry. And it will be consumed alone and/or with some vanilla ice cream. 🙂 I can’t grow rhubarb in TX like I did in WI, so this is a fun treat to start the year. 7 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/346007-off-topic-dumping-thread/page/205/#findComment-5378565 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 There is no better chance to learn about German compounds than this clip about a girl who makes rhubarb cake. You don't need to understand German for it. (Apart from that, I really love rhubarb, but the mere thought of it gives me a blunt feeling on my teeth.) 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/346007-off-topic-dumping-thread/page/205/#findComment-5378628 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there are no basements here in this part of the southern U.S. That said, I was quite intrigued by your comment as I did not know that one could 'force' rhubarb or for that matter, other plants, to grow and produce in the dark. Picking rhubarb by candlelight seems like fun, too. https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/forcing-rhubarb/ 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/346007-off-topic-dumping-thread/page/205/#findComment-5378992 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all here https://www.mentalfloss.com/posts/disc-vs-disk-what-is-difference I generally follow the de facto convention near the end of the article. I also tend to use the word "buss" for things like a collection of data signals, &c. While I have seen the word used in numerous places over time, in particular in old electronics books I read in my elementary school library during my formative years, I am told the correct word should be "bus." 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/346007-off-topic-dumping-thread/page/205/#findComment-5379904 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawberry rhubarb is one of my favorites.

Use a fork to mash the rhubarb as it softens. Strain it with a sieve and return the rhubarb water back to the pot. Add the sugar, heating until it dissolves. Let the syrup cool completely before pouring it into jars or bottles for storing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/346007-off-topic-dumping-thread/page/205/#findComment-5380234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
