In season tomatoes from the farmers market or garden. I went from “ew, raw tomatoes” to “omg, delicious”.

Uh, I’d like to know more about these wizards and werewolves! Please, tell me more.

I’m not sure how much protein you can add but King Arthur Flour has a few blogs about what to do with sourdough starter beyond bread. * -https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2016/05/12/sweet-sourdough-baking -https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2014/07/27/excess-sourdough-5-tasty-ways-to-use-it-up * I’ve found that adding a few (2-3) scoops of unflavored protein powder never really hurts anything but I generally know what the consistency of cake/scones is supposed to look like.

It’s definitely comfort food to me.

I’d contribute answers if I could but I’m not sure there’s much I would ask.

What’s your heat source?

I think that this is a great step forward! I hope they also pursue crustaceans 🦀.

It might not help our oceans recover (reduced populations due to increased water temp and those effects) but it would help to reduce some the human impact of fishing.
