My enviro group made "chili flights" for our potluck yesterday. We're considering joining a chili cook-off in July where we would submit a vegan chili using all-electric equipment - quite a feat for a bunch of folks who have never made chili before! We'll see what happens, but the tasting was fun
a few colorful reusable plates with 4 disposable cups each of chili on each of them. Some of the letters A, B, C, D are visible on the cups. Half sheets of white paper with a few typewritten words are visible, as are cornbread and various chili fixings

First time pepino grower - super bushy but barely any flowers and no fruit. It gets down to 60 degrees at night. Not sure what to do 🌱

Took 4 tries but I finally got my own - "like two ducks on a rug"
AI Overview: The phrase "like two ducks on a rug" is often used to describe a situation that is awkward or doesn't quite fit. Here's a breakdown: Ducks on a rug: Ducks, naturally suited for water, would appear clumsy and out of place on a rug. Awkward or uncomfortable: This image evokes a feeling of unease and not being in one's element, similar to the idiom "a fish out of water". In essence, when you say something or someone is "like two ducks on a rug," you're implying that they're: Out of place: Not in a situation that's natural or suitable. Uncomfortable: Feeling uneasy and perhaps a little clumsy in the given context. Potentially causing mild amusement or embarrassment: The image of ducks struggling on a rug can be a little humorous or cringe-worthy. Think of it as a slightly more specific and visual way of saying someone is "out of their element" or feels "like a fish out of water".

the caps are coming off my California poppies! 🌱
two California poppy stems, crossing each other. The leftmost still has a light green cap on, with a small amount of orange peeking through the bottom. The rightmost has no cap, and is a bright orange blossom yet to be unfurled. Green undergrowth and a brick walkway are in the background a closeup of the California poppy with the cap still partially on, over a brick background. The yellow-green cap has a slight tear toward the bottom, which closest up the closer you get to the pointed top.

My favorite comment so far underneath my hometown's article about a school board member doxxing a school staff member because she didn't like a comment she made at a board meeting
I have contacted DOGE to have them investigate the funding of this class and to these board members. I have been hearing that this is funded by George soros. I will not allow my children to be indoctrinated by this propaganda. Luckily we have a Gunn alumni on DOGE. Our government will end all federal funding due to the negligence of this woke cancel culture board. #freerowena
