Abandon all hope

There are precisely zero people on night shift from when I worked here, aside from the day shift people forced to work nights due to short staffing.

The day shift people I worked with today were very optimistic that my return would mean they’d no longer have to work nights. I took great delight in shattering those dreams when I told them I was working maybe 2 nights a week.

Some things never change.

The other servers at night are an interesting blend of insane and incompetent.

A couple examples:

The meth user - he runs around a lot but he doesn’t get a whole lot done. If he used just 10% of the energy he uses zipping around accomplishing nothing just getting drink refills for his tables he’d be the greatest server of all time. Sadly he has roughly the same attention span as a kitten, just with fewer teeth.

The drama queen - I think every restaurant has one of these, but seriously, this woman (about 50 years old or so) gets set off by everything more serious than blinking either to tears or rage. I learned this in one night. Things that worked her up (in no particular order):

Nobody ran her food

Somebody ran her food

Nobody was cleaning her tables for her

SHE HAD SIDE WORK?!

A table she largely ignored for most of the time they were there didn’t tip her to match the service

A table she largely ignored for most of the time they were there tipped poorly to match the service

The meth head server got a big table...of 6 people that she wanted

SERIOUSLY WHY DID SHE HAVE TO DO SIDE WORK?!

Her husband hadn’t called her all night

The “new guy” got a table she wanted

She got sat a party of 4 - 2 hours before her cut time and she wanted to leave early despite being so short handed nobody ever gets to leave early

The “new guy” made more money than her despite having a 2 table section

And finally she absolutely lost it when the cook yelled at her to “RUN SOME FUCKING FOOD INSTEAD OF PLAYING ON YOUR FUCKING PHONE!”

Manager lite - This woman thinks she runs the place, belching orders at everybody. She’s just a server, like me, yet feels that telling the cook what to make next and the prep people what to prepare and the hostess who to seat and me what table to greet, amongst other things, is doing the best job imaginable. She tried convincing me that I needed to be constantly busy clearing tables - especially in her section - because “team service.” She didn’t do a lot of it herself, none in fact, so I completely disregarded everything she said. I will continue to do so pretty much forever. Her wrath at being ignored will sustain me.

The dishwasher, if you want to call him that, seems determined to do everything but wash dishes. This would include hiding in the walk-in cooler, hiding in the bathroom, hiding behind the line, and hiding in the break room. Pretty much everywhere but the dish pit. When I left at close the dish pit looked rather untouched for the past 5 hours. Whatever poor bastard opens in the morning has a lot to catch up on.

And then there’s the cook. This is a man of unbridled fury - mad as hell he makes all this fucking food for it to sit in the window while servers do...whatever the hell it is they do here until it gets that weird heat lamp shell. I like him. First words he said to me were “RUN YOUR FUCKING FOOD AND WE WON’T HAVE PROBLEMS!” We’ll be fast friends, I can tell. This isn’t sarcasm. I want my food run because when the food is served hot I make more money. I have to respect a man who slams a spatula with dedication. Despite us being one of the worst places to get a steak he does manage to make them edible at least. And cooked to temp.

The hostess - a 16 year-old who has been bullied to the point where she apologizes to servers for each and every table she seats - apologized to me at least 6 times tonight for giving me tables in my 2-table-see-how-you-do section. It’s 2 tables of a maximum of 4 people each. How weeded could I possibly get? I told her she doesn’t need to apologize. Then promptly enlisted her to roll my silverware. Yes, I paid her for it, before some smoothbrain suggests I bullied her too. Once I learn the dynamics here a bit better I’m going to cause problems on purpose, largely for anybody who shits on my hostess. The kid wants to do good work.

Night shift no longer has a manager - by “all-new management staff” it apparently means the GM and 1 manager, neither of whom want to work nights. So we get a shift supervisor. A shift supervisor who also doesn’t want to work nights and has a bottle of some cheap booze stashed away where there are no cameras. It tastes awful. She spends her night largely bombed occasionally making a guest appearance in the dining room to slur at a table or a trip to the office to do whatever the hell she does in there for 3 hours. She works here 7 nights per week. I’d drink too. Plus side: she’ll agree to pretty much any request you make so when I said I want a max of 4 tables and never any over 4 people (once my 2 table section bullshit is over anyway,) she agreed. Apparently these other dumbass servers think all the big parties are where the money is. Not since the IRS cancelled auto-gratuity.

The customers are the same as they’ve ever been, just fewer of them since it’s winter and this place has been careening into the ground as fast as they can destroy it.

I have opened myself up to much suffering. -J

Violets:Medical and Culinary Uses

As temperatures start to get warmer and spring starts to rear its head, a sweet purple bloom starts to appear. With heart shaped leaves and a range of petal colors from white to blueish purple, these wild violets are known by many.

While it is considered a weed or wild ground cover by many people it is truly so much more. Useful for food and medicine, this is a wild forager plant everyone should know and use.

What are Violets?

Violets come from a genus of somewhere around 600 types of the Viola family. The most common types we see in yards and garden are the Sweet English violet (Viola Odorata) and the Wild garden Violet (Viola Sororia/Viola Papilionacea). Both of these are edible and share many physical similarities.

If you decide to spread seeds or cuttings, know that violets are likely to take over your gardens and walkways. A shrinking violet they are not!

Depending on what part of the world you live in, violets tend to start showing up somewhere around April or May and continue to sprout over early summer. Once it’s hot, they settle down for awhile only to reemerge with the cooling temps of fall.

What can I do with them?

The great part of these cute little flowers is they are more than just a decorative bloom. They are completely edible, while also holding medicinal properties. High in Vitamins A and C (they actually hold more Vit. C by weight than oranges do!) they are a great addition to salads and sandwiches for some veggie fiber and vitamin and minerals.

Culinary uses of Violets

A more everyday use for violets are teas,vinegar, and syrups. These are used both for culinary and medical uses.

Syrups

Syrups can be used for pancakes, flavorings in tea or lemonade, drizzled across ice cream and more.Try adding to honey for a sweet syrup that also helps with coughs and upset tummies(just remember babies under 1 year cannot have honey!)

Tea

Dry the flowers for use all year in teas. Use a mixture of the leaves and flower to make a tea that is good at helping to calm anxiety and stress, relieving headaches and hydrating the body.

*Use 2 Tb of dried leaves and 1 Tb of dried flowers or 2-3 Tb of fresh flowers and steep in hot water for 5 minutes.

Vinegar and Salad Greens

Fresh violet leaves taste better than cooking them. Cooking violet leaves tend to make them very gooey and blech due to their mucilaginous state when heated(aka they turn into a thick gel). However, this is actually a really great way to thicken soups and stews naturally while adding in greens.

Jelly

If you want to take the violet syrup a step further and make some great gifts for the holidays, try making violet jelly. A pale purple with a sweet floral taste, violet jelly is a nice burst of spring in the winter.

We make violet, lilac, rose and honeysuckle jelly’s over the spring and summer for back up gifts. A small loaf of homemade bread and a jelly jar full of the pretty pastel colors make for an easy gift you can make months in advance.

Infused Sugar

The last culinary use for violets I’ll give you is making violet sugar. You simply take violets and sugar and run them through a food processor or grinder. Similar to lilac or rose sugar, the flowers give a light color to the flower to making it pretty while not overpowering the flavor of the sugar. Use for candying other violets, sprinkling on cookies or even for sugar scrubs and soaps.

Medical Uses for Violets

The greatest part about using violets for medical as well as culinary is you use a lot of the same products. Teas, vinegar and syrups are all popular for medical ailments as well as salves, oils and ointments. Violets have many medical attributes that make them useful for the modern homesteader.

Cooling and Inflammation

The number one use for violets is their superb cooling abilities. Violets are super useful at hydrating and cooling the body, relieving dry skin, inflammation and fevers. Who would think that much cooling power was in such a tiny flower?

Headaches

Violets also contain salicylic acid, a natural source similar to aspirin. Native Americans actually used to make a poultice of violet flowers specifically to relieve headaches!

Anti-septic and burns

Oral and Respiratory Ailments

In the Renaissance era, violets were claimed to help cure throat and mouth cancer. While not a definitive ” cure” violets are definitely good for mouth and respiratory ailments.

Sore throats and colds are soothed with a cough syrup made from honey,violets and other herbs. Sinus infections and other respiratory illnesses can be dealt with quicker by the violets boost of the immune system.

Lymphatics( Lymph Nodes)

One of the coolest things I found out about violets is that they help to stimulate our lymphatic glands to detox the body. Especially good for mastitis and breast issues, use an infused oil and daily massage to stimulate your lymph nodes and encourage bodily health.

HOW TO MAKE VIOLET INFUSED OIL OR VINEGAR

Gather violets until you fill your container.(I use small mason jars typically because I use multiple kinds of oils and vinegar.)

Fill with oil or vinegar of choice.

Infuse. Now your options are the slow and easy method or the stove top method. It depends on how soon you need your oil.( Check out my post on my citrus vinegar cleaner for more info on infusing and how to fill your jar and store it)

If you would like to turn your infused oil into a salve, melt some beeswax and add to it. Check out the Nerdy Farm Wife for a full recipe and tutorial using violet leaves.( Check out her page for a lot of awesome tutorials. She’s my number one go to for salve and soap recipes)

Health Safety Warnings for Violets

There are a few warnings for using and consuming violets however!

First is make sure if you are eating and using violet products, don’t overwhelm your body. Violets do contain mild laxative properties and too much too soon will create a big mess.

Also, only use the leaves and flowers. There are some native American tribes that use the roots externally for joint pain supposedly but internal consumption of the roots will make you throw up!

And lastly, if you are in taking violets regularly, let your doctor know, especially if you are going to be having surgery in the near future. This is a safety measure as some of the medical properties of violets can cause an increase in bleeding.

So that’s the general breakdown on how to use violets for food and medicine. What other ideas can you think of?

Check out my Pinterest page for recipes and more ideas on wild foraging and if you missed Friday’s post on how to use violets for daily magical work make sure to check that out as well!

Panic attack #1

I can now officialy say ive tried weed. Ive smokef and as well as eaten edibles. I dont like it very much. it basically sedates me. Its really good at calming me and helping me relax for sure. i dont get the munchies though and I cant really have a normal comversation. I cant even hold a convo. But anyways let me tell you guys about the I took too many edibles and my husband almost called an ambulance. The edibles hit me like a train. I was making some noodle in a cup in the kitchem when suddenly I fell my surroundings start to shake. Although it didnt happen in real life I swear they were. Then my vision started going in n out so I decided to sit on the floor to help me relax. I could hear my husband asking me if I was okay but at that point I couldnt reapond. I felt my heart quicken and my breathing became constricted. I held on to the ground hard. amd then my body heat rose and I felt like It was so hot I could barely breath. I took my shirt off and laid on the coold floor. Let me tell you in that moment I swear I thought I was dying. I started talking to myself aloud to try to gain control back. I kept telling myself to just keep breathing and that this would pass but then in second panic would take over amd I would start saying things like," Oh my God im sorry Ill never do drugs again please dont let me die like this." at this point my hubby freaked out amd rushed over to me. I could hear him amd see him panic asking how he could help and what was I going through. I managed to tell him I was dying.... poor guy I freaked him out even more. This lasted a good 20 mins but oh my Lord I truly thought I was gonna die. Near the middle of this panic attack I started fading in n out of consciousness. I would pass out and come back and panic would grip me again. I was just becoming more afraid as the minutes passed. I kept thinking, " dont let yourself pass out youre not going to come back!" but I had no control. Finally I felt my body temp go down. I was covered in sweat and I finally got control back. I didnt understand what had happened until I did a lil research. but dam that was truly scary. and now I just dont do edibles anymore 😁 Weed only on special occasions 🎉

Given your proclivities I assume this is a dabs thing, mind explaining what’s going on though? (Sadly, I’m restricted to edibles only for lung reasons so I don’t know much about gaseous weed, I just like the pretty glass).

the thing on the very top is an e-nail that heats up to a specified temp and stays there (instead of fucking around with blowtorches), then under that is a chamber with a removable silicone bottom for reclaim, then two regular ashcatchers to add more volume and cooling, and then the actual piece, which weighs like five pounds and could be used as a club in a pinch

Dry Natural Herbs From Your Food Items Dehydrator

This article describes the method of preparing and drying natural herbs in your food items dehydrator, whether it be actually coming from your cannabis backyard, or the produce part at the convenience store. The savings in costs, over costs spent at the market place for weeds, will definitely much more than spend for your dehydrator in a brief opportunity Tianqiao District.

There would certainly be little bit of disagreement in stating, that the Chefs of the globe, whether they be mommies and also papas in the home kitchen, or the cooking artists of great eating bistros, that utilizing clean weeds are the essence of wonderful foods. Also though they add really little bit of in the technique of nourishment, they do incorporate marvels to a dish. The majority of our company do not possess a year around weed backyard at our disposal, so the following ideal alternative is actually to catch the quality, taste, as well as smell of those cannabis in the very best technique, a meals dehydrator Huangqiao Village.

https://dryer.com.ru/

Historically, indigenous societies dried herbs in the sunlight, eventually procedures cultivated were actually bag drying out, room drying, oven drying, as well as final, microwave drying out. These approaches do dry herbs yet at the price of reduction of flavor, scent, cleanliness, and protection Jinan.

Contemporary food items dehydrators certainly not merely do this extra successfully than various other approaches of drying, a much more secure item is actually obtained than a number of the natural herbs coming from over the counter that have undergone irradiation during the course of the drying process Shandong.

Additional interest needs to become paid out to drying out cannabis, over florals. Your goal ends up being to dry them not for appeal however, for taste and also smell. Temps, humidity, as well as opportunity, become extra vital so as certainly not to lose the significance of the natural herb. Food items dehydrators create great airflow, temp policy along with manageable thermostats, and some styles along with cooking timers. The temperature level selection for weeds is actually 90 degrees F to 105 degrees F, while the moment assortment is actually one to 3 hours. Carry out certainly not dry organic cannabis along with porks, fruits, and also veggies, yet alone, those foods items will incorporate as well a lot moisture to the method if incorporated in the meals dehydrator. To check out the efficiency of the drying out process, squash the herb, it needs to fall apart like an incredibly dry out leaf in autumn, or even only like the natural herbs that visit of those costly tiny jars in the shop China.

Only a term regarding storage space of organic cannabis. Unquestionably, I just like to keep weeds in clear containers in an open seasoning shelf in the kitchen for going to good friends to find. This is actually find if you use those natural herbs up over a period of numerous months, any sort of longer and also different colors fading takes place. For substantial period storage space, maintain the cannabis out of the light, in air tight jars, or utilize a vacuum sealant to portable all of them if room conserving is preferred Millet Microwave Baking And Curing Equipment.

In review, producing your own natural weeds at home with a meals dehydrator will certainly end up being a process that will spare money, enrich the foods you bring in, create a degree of complete satisfaction, and also an abundance of helpful next-door neighbors that will definitely drop in typically to acquire only a little bit of seasoning Millet Microwave.

Freeze Dried Foods - What Are the Options? MRE's, Freeze Dried Food and also Why it is actually a Great Choice

Freeze drying out is actually a just recently developed strategy of protecting food items packs. It entails the freezing of the food, then eliminating the majority of the foods items humidity within a vacuum cleaner, and finally closing the meals in air-tight storage space. Freeze dried out foods could be transported at regular temperature levels, saved for quite long time frames, and also be actually consumed along with lowest planning. The moment prepared to consume, freeze-dried foods look as well as taste the exact same as the original, all-natural products Millet Microwave Baking.

Freeze-dried meals was actually created throughout World War II as a strategy of keeping blood for field of battle traumas, without requiring refrigeration or even ruining the natural attribute of the plasma. The modern technology was actually eventually related to foodstuff after the conclusion of the war. Coffee was actually one of the initial freeze-dried products to be actually created widespread. A lot of fruits, veggies, chickens, eggs, as well as meals are actually freeze-dried.

Freeze-dried meals has several advantages. Given that as long as 98% of the water content has actually been removed, the food items is actually incredibly light-weight, which minimizes the price of delivery. This also creates it popular along with anyone that possesses to lug their food along with them. Given that it needs no refrigeration, delivery and also storage space costs are actually very little. Freeze-dried food is actually additionally relatively clean, as the dehydration procedure makes it basically difficult for yeast and also dangerous germs to survive the method. Finally, since the bodily construct of the food items is not modified throughout the freeze-dried procedure, the meals keeps a lot of its color and also flavor when it is prepped through including water. This creates it even more desirable to folks, than food maintained through other techniques Curing Equipment.

Some of the significant downsides of freeze-dried meals is its cost. The devices demanded for this procedure is pricey, and the procedure on its own is opportunity eating and delivery demanding. These expenses are actually normally handed down to the buyer, that makes freeze-dried meals extremely pricey when reviewed to various other techniques of meals maintenance including canning or even freezing.

Raw Materials

Some foods items are extremely fit to the freeze-drying method. Fluids, lean sections of chicken, and also tiny veggies and fruits may be actually freeze dried out conveniently. Coffee is actually one of the most usual freeze-dried fluid. Chunks or slices of shrimp, crab, seafood, beef, and also hen could be freeze-dried. They are actually typically combined along with vegetables as component of soups or even main dish meals. Nearly all veggies and fruits may be freeze-dried, consisting of grains, corn, greens, tomatoes, berries, lemons, oranges, and blueberries. Also things like olives as well as water chestnuts could be processed by doing this.

Dense sections of pork and bigger, whole veggies and fruit products container not be freeze dried out along with any sort of results. Along with a lot of other meals, it is simply certainly not efficient to maintain all of them by freeze drying Curing Equipment.

The Manufacturing Process

A suspended animation processing center is usually a huge industrial plant along with present day tools. Its own food-handling regions should be actually approved due to the United States Department of Agriculture, as well as the provider and also its own employees should comply with federal government regulative procedures. The vegetation might consist of a getting and also storing place for biting meals that get to the plant wholesale; a food items preparing food region for those foods items that need to be actually cooked just before handling; a sizable location along with several sizable freezing and also drying chambers; as well as a packaging location. The center may additionally feature an analysis area where boosted strategies of freeze-drying meals are cultivated, and an exam kitchen area where new planning approaches to boost the final taste, high quality, as well as texture of the food items are made an effort. Some vegetations are devoted to freeze-drying merely one item like freeze-dried coffee. Others refine a large range of meats, vegetables, and also fruit products. Nonfood items such as chemicals as well as pharmaceuticals are actually usually processed in different vegetations coming from food items items.

The freeze-drying procedure differs in the information of temperature levels, opportunities, tensions, as well as intermediate actions coming from one food to another. The following is a generalised description of the procedure with a number of certain exemptions kept in mind.

Examining and also prep work

The meals is very first inspected for contaminants and also purity. Fruit products, porks, and some various other edibles are evaluated for microbial matters and wasting. A lot of the job of the vegetation is actually dependent on the produce period for each food. In January, as an example, the plant would be processing oatmeal, olives, limes, oranges, and also blueberries. In July, it would process green grains, greens, as well as strawberries, to name a few.

Some type of food items, like sea food as well as meat products, have to be actually prepared before freeze drying out. They are actually generally purchased actually partitioned small parts. If they have actually not been actually pre-cooked as well as frosted, these foods items are placed in big, industrial-sized teakettles and adequately prepared. Fruits and veggies are actually generally acquired already reduced, pitted, as well as peeled off. These foods are actually simply cleaned with sprays of water. Some veggies, like greens and corn, are promptly heated, or paled, prior to cold. Coffee is actually obtained as a pre-brewed focused liquid. Given that the fragrance of coffee is vital to individuals, a percentage of coffee grain oil may be included in the fluid. Unlike the water, the oil is actually not eliminated during the course of the drying procedure.

Icy

The food items pieces are actually spread on standard, metallic holders which are piled twenty to 30 high in slots in a rolled pushcart. Along with meals that has actually been pre-cooked and frosted, the racks are pre-chilled to stop partial thawing during managing. With fluids like coffee, the pre-brewed coffee is poured right into superficial pans. The carts are actually wheeled into a huge, walk-in coldroom where the temperature level could be as reduced as -40 F (-40 C). Within this very cool temp, the food items is swiftly frozen. There are normally a dozen or even more coldrooms effective, and the carts are actually always kept there till it is time to move them right into the drying out chamber.

Drying out

The carts are actually wheeled away from the coldroom and also into a vacuum cleaner drying chamber. In the situation of fluids like coffee, the icy coffee is 1st ground up in to little particles in a low-temperature mill. The drying out enclosure is actually a big, long, parallel cylinder with semi-elliptical ends. One end is actually pivoted to open and also shut. When the trays of frozen food parts are within, the enclosure is actually closed and sealed off. In a large plant, there might be twenty to 30 drying enclosures effective any time.

The drying treatment involves a process called sublimation. In sublimation, a sound material is pushed to modify condition into an effervescent material without ever before becoming a liquid. When it comes to freezedried food, the solid ice crystals entraped in the icy meals parts are actually required to become water vapor without ever before becoming liquid water. In the drying out enclosure, this is actually accomplished through leaving the sky along with an air pump to lower the tension to about 0.036 psi (0.0025 pub). The temperature of the meals is increased to about 100 levels by straight conduction via the base of the racks, radiation from heat lights, or even microwave heating system. When the chamber is left of air, the tension is actually below the threshold at which water may concurrently exist in a strong, liquefied, and gaseous (water vapor) condition. This limit is recognized as the triple aspect of water. Once the stress drops below this aspect, the warmth results in the ice crystals trapped in the frosted items of food to transform directly to water vapor. The vapor is pulled off as well as condensed within the chamber leaving behind the meals at the back of. The dried out food items is actually loaded with little spaces, like a sponge, where the ice crystals were actually when existing. Not only does this produce it simpler for the food items to reabsorb water when it is actually readied for intake, however the dried out food keeps its own original dimension and shape. The time for this drying out procedure varies. Freeze-dried liquids create take just around four hrs to prepare, while semi-solids and solids like soup and also sliced up porks might take 12 hours or even additional.

Sizing and combinationing

The dried out meals items are actually cleared away from the drying enclosure as well as examined for moisture information and also pureness.

Some meals parts may be ground to a smaller sized measurements or may be actually minimized to a particle. Others might be actually screened to separate all of them by size. 2 or even more different products may also be blended together to fulfill a consumers certain specifications.

Packing

Freeze-dried meals need to be sealed off in impermeable compartments to prevent all of them coming from absorbing dampness coming from the sky. A number of kinds of compartments might be utilized: plastic laminated aluminum foil pouches, steel and also plastic containers, or metallic and thread drums for bulk packaging. Some freeze-dried food items is suction jam-packed, through which the air is actually evacuated from the compartment prior to securing. Various other meals has an inert gas like nitrogen infused in to the container just before securing to change the oxygen in the air as well as avoid oxidation or even ruining of the food items. The product packaging is actually performed in the freeze-dry vegetation practically as quickly as the foods items show up of the drying chamber. The vegetation can easily create, fill up, as well as secure the bundles to the intended body weight for completion user. Packages that are actually to be actually sold straight to the individual are crammed in containers, stacked on pallets, and also carried to the grocery store warehouse. Other freeze-dried food is actually packaged in bulk and also marketed to a second processor chip for unification into various other food items items. Freeze-dried blueberries, as an example, might be sent to a provider that helps make hot cake as well as muffin mixes.

Quality assurance

Each food items has various handling, storage space, as well as rehydration needs. A number of the variables consist of the sizing of the raw foodstuff prior to freezing, the cooking food or even blanching time as well as temperature level, the fee of freezing and also last icy temperature level, the rate of application of suction as well as the final vacuum stress throughout drying out, the rate as well as approach of use of heat and also the last dried item temperature, the allowed residual humidity information after drying, the storing temperature level and also atmosphere (suction, nitrogen, etc) after drying out, and also the rehydration procedures. At big freeze-drying centers, digital microprocessors manage the moments, temperatures, and stress throughout each action of the process. A central computer system collects this data, examines it using statistical quality management procedures, and establishments it for eventually referral. This guarantees that the food delivered to the general public for consumption has actually been via a solely controlled process that satisfies government standards as well as differs only somewhat from batch to batch. The personal computer also accumulates information on the microbial and also wetness levels of the raw, bulk food entering into the plant and also the last freezedried items. Special devices may include electronic gasoline chromatographs and air analyzers. Even the product packaging products are tested for their ability to stop water vapor and also oxygen sending.

vape & edibles vs flower

First let me say that I don't smoke heavily, I may do a 1 hit of flower once in a while but that is it now. Also I didn't have access to any cannabis for about 15 years. I'll currently drink a few beers (2-3) in the evening, or have some wine with dinner & a movie.

I've been reading that vaping is "healthier" that smoking budds through a bong, so I've tried to see what vaping results & edibles were like.

I've been experimenting with vape cartridges again. Last year I bought a 100% THC (I know it can't be 100% but that is what I was informed it was) cartridge The 1st time I hit it I could feel a good minor buzz. But after that time it just never worked that same way again, I just never felt that same euphoric effect.

But the battery I bought with that vape cartridge last year wasn't doing a good job with the new cartridges I've bought this year. I've found an "ooze" battery that works much better. This is set a 3.2v for heating. The cartridges I've recently got were listed as 78% THC on the shop wall. I've used the different temp settings on the "ooze" but the draws are the same.

My problem is: I've got to say I'm not impressed with the vaping effect that I'm getting. But then again I haven't found that the edibles I've tried didn't work very well either. Last week I went through 500mg of edibles, 100mg/day & wasn't impressed with any of my results.

I don't know what is wrong with the edibles, or the cartridges I have. I'm just not "feeling" euphoric effects like I'm expecting/hoping for. I've stayed with the indica strains because this is supposed to give the indica "in da couch" feeling. That's because I've just wanted something that will just kick me back in the couch for a relaxing evening with my music,

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong because the expected results aren't what I'm hoping for? Do I need cartridges with a higher THC percentage? Or are budds/smoking the best way to the kick back feelings I'm hoping for?

Do's and Don'ts of Summer Landscaping

Whether you're dealing with California droughts, Midwest heat waves or Deep South downpours, summer can be a tricky time to garden. Here's what you need to know before leaving air-conditioned comforts for a steamy backyard jungle.

DON’T: Plant cool-season vegetables

Generally speaking, it's a bad idea to attempt veggies like peas, lettuce, carrots and radishes in summer. They will quickly bolt in the heat, meaning they'll devote their energy to blooming and producing seeds, making the edible parts bitter.

DO: Plant hot-season vegetables

Take advantage of summer's sunshine by planting these heat-loving edibles:

Okra

Sweet potatoes

Chili peppers

Cowpeas

Yardlong beans

Eggplant

Drought-tolerant okra produces prolific pods all summer long, and sweet potatoes make an excellent temporary ground cover, shading out weeds until the arrival of cold weather and harvest time.

DON’T: Water unless necessary

It's tempting to set the sprinklers on a timer, kick up your feet and consider it handled. But you don’t want to run sprinklers in a rainstorm, so water plants only when they’re newly planted or wilting and/or dropping leaves.

DO: Use drought-tolerant plants

Drought-tolerant plants are all the rage, and not just because they conserve water. Grow drought-tolerant plants because they're low-maintenance and because you're an average person with - you know - a life. That said, drought-tolerant does not mean you can plant it and forget it. Keep the soil moist until the plant takes off on its own.

DON’T: Turn your back on the garden

Because in summer, things can change in a heartbeat. Plants can succumb to pests, drought, wet soil or rot in a matter of days. Pay attention to weather forecasts, and watch for struggling plants. Use those pruners on any bullies that seem to be taking over less vigorous plants. When in doubt, rip it out.

DO: Water deeply

Water like you really mean it - with a deep soak so that the water penetrates the soil without running off or evaporating in the summer heat. Watering deeply will also encourage deeper root growth, which helps plants (especially shrubs and trees) stay healthier and more drought-tolerant in the long run. Water in the root zone with a garden nozzle, a soaker hose, or just a hose and a full stream of water.

DON’T: Scalp your lawn

If you plan on turning your summer lawn into a putting green and you mow your lawn close, you'll be sorely disappointed by the results. (Unless you're willing to settle for a putting brown, that is.) Shortcuts mean less drought-tolerance, patchier growth, more weeds and shallow roots. When in doubt, cut high.

DO: Fertilize warm-season grasses

Give your lawn a pick-me-up to cope with the summer heat. Your local garden center should have a good selection of fertilizers to suit your region and/or lawn type. Fertilize according to label instructions, using a broadcast spreader, handheld spreader or drop spreader for even coverage. Generally speaking, don't feed on a hot day with temps above 90 degrees.

DON’T: Water in the afternoon

While it’s a myth that water droplets can magnify sunlight and burn the plants, watering in the hottest part of the day is still useless. Water quickly evaporates in summer, and many plants will go semi-dormant. Water in the early morning so the plants' roots have a chance to absorb moisture.

DON’T: Let weeds go to seed

Procrastinate all you want, but pull those weeds before they have a chance to bloom and go to seed, spreading their progeny all over your garden. Don't settle for hand-pulling everything either. Use a hoe or cultivator for new weeds in loose soil, or a heavy-duty weeding tool, like a hori-hori knife, hook or mattock for tough, established weeds.

DO: Plant tropical bulbs

Much of your garden will slow down in the heat of summer, but tropical bulbs such as caladiums, elephant ears, cannas and gingers will only grow faster. Create a lush and jungly understory beneath shady trees by planting en masse, or use sparsely for architectural interest in container combos and flower beds.

Do's and Don'ts of Summer Landscaping

Whether you’re dealing with a California drought, an mid-Atlantic heat wave or Deep South downpours, summer can be a tricky time to garden. Here’s what you need to know before you leave the comfort of the air conditioning for a steamy backyard jungle.

DON’T: Plant cool-season vegetables

Generally speaking, it’s a bad idea to attempt veggies like peas, lettuce, carrots and radishes in summer. They will quickly bolt in the heat, meaning that they’ll devote their energy to blooming and producing seeds, making the edible parts bitter.

DO: Plant hot-season vegetables

Take advantage of summer’s plentiful heat and sunshine by planting these heat-loving edibles: okra, sweet potatoes, chili peppers, cowpeas, yardlong beans and eggplant. Okra produces prolific pods all summer long, and is drought-tolerant as far as vegetables go. Sweet potatoes make an excellent temporary groundcover in veggie gardens and flowerbeds, shading out weeds until the arrival of cold weather, when they can be harvested.

DON’T: Water unless necessary

It’s tempting to set the sprinklers on a timer, kick up your feet and consider it taken care of. But here’s why that’s a problem: First off, do you really want to be the guy or gal who’s caught running sprinklers in a rain storm? Water plants when they are newly planted, or are wilting and/or dropping leaves due to drought.

DO: Use drought-tolerant plants

Drought-tolerant plants are all the rage, and not just because they conserve water. Grow drought-tolerant plants because they’re low-maintenance and because you’re an average person with - you know- a life. That said, ‘drought-tolerant’ does not mean that you can plant it and forget it. Keep the soil moist until the plant takes off on its own.

DON’T: Turn your back on the garden

Because in summer, things can change in a heartbeat. Plants can succumb to pests, drought, wet soil or rot in a matter of days. Pay attention to weather forecasts and be on the lookout for plants that are clearly struggling. Don’t hesitate to use those pruners on any bullies that seem to be taking over less vigorous plants. When in doubt, rip it out.

DO: Water deeply

Water like you really mean it - with a deep soak so that the water penetrates the soil without running off or evaporating in the summer heat. Watering deeply will also encourage deeper root growth, which helps plants (especially shrubs and trees) stay healthier and more drought-tolerant in the long run. Water in the root-zone with a high falutin’ garden nozzle, a soaker hose, or nothing more than a hose and a full stream of water.

DON’T: 'Scalp’ your lawn

If you plan on turning your summer lawn into a practical putting green and you mow your lawn close, you’ll be sorely disappointed by the results. (Unless you’re willing to settle for a putting brown, that is.) Short cuts mean less drought-tolerance, patchier growth, more weeds and shallow roots. When in doubt, cut high.

DO: Fertilize warm-season grasses

Give your lawn a pick-me-up to cope with the summer heat. Your local garden center should have a good selection of fertilizers to suit your region and/or lawn type. Fertilize according to label instructions, using a broadcast, handheld or drop spreader for even coverage. Generally speaking, don’t feed on a hot day with temps above 90 degrees.

DON’T: Water in the afternoon

It’s a myth that sunlight will become magnified by water droplets and burn the plants, but watering in the hottest part of the day is still pretty useless because many plants will go semi-dormant, and water quickly evaporate in summer. Water in the early morning so that the plants’ roots have a chance to absorb moisture.

DON’T: Let weeds go to seed

Procrastinate all you want, but pull those weeds before they have a chance to bloom and go to seed, spreading their progeny all over your garden to proliferate and give you headaches. Don’t settle for hand-pulling everything either: use a hoe or cultivator for new weeds in loose soil, or a heavy-duty weeding tool like a hori-hori knife, hook or mattock for tough, established weeds.

DO: Plant tropical bulbs

Much of your garden will slow down in the heat of summer, but tropical bulbs such as caladiums, elephant ears, cannas and gingers will only grow faster. Create a lush and jungly understory beneath shady trees by planting en masse, or use sparely for architectural interest in container combos and flowerbeds.

Most of our company carry out not possess a year around cannabis garden at our disposal, so the second best choice is to grab the freshness, flavor, and also aroma of those weeds in the greatest means, a food dehydrator Huangqiao Village.

Historically, native lifestyles dried out natural herbs in the sunlight, later approaches built were bag drying, room drying, oven drying, and also final, microwave drying out. These procedures perform dry herbs however at the price of reduction of taste, aroma, cleanliness, and safety Jinan.

Modern meals dehydrators not only perform this much more successfully than various other procedures of drying, a much more secure item is actually gotten than a few of the cannabis from over the counter that have been subjected to irradiation during the drying method Shandong.

More attention needs to become paid for to drying out cannabis, over blossoms. Your goal becomes to dry them except beauty however, for taste and also fragrance. Temps, moisture, and opportunity, end up being much more critical thus as certainly not to shed the essence of the herb. Food items dehydrators create really good air flow, temperature level law along with manageable regulators, as well as some styles with timers. The temp selection for weeds is actually 90 levels F to 105 degrees F, while the time array is actually one to 3 hours. Perform moist natural herbs along with chickens, fruits, and also veggies, yet alone, those meals would certainly incorporate a lot of humidity to the method if blended in the meals dehydrator. To examine the efficiency of the drying out procedure, crush the weed, it should fall apart like an incredibly dry leaf in autumn, or much like the natural herbs that come out of those expensive little containers in the outlet China.

Only a term concerning storing of natural herbs.

Freeze Dried Foods - What Are the Options? MRE's, Freeze Dried Food and Why it is actually a Great Choice

Freeze drying out is actually a recently built strategy of maintaining food items crams. It entails the icy of the food, after that taking out the majority of the meals wetness within a suction, and also lastly sealing the meals in air-tight storage. Freeze dried out foods items could be moved at regular temperature levels, saved for lengthy time frames, and be actually consumed with lowest planning. As soon as prepped to consume, freeze-dried foods items look as well as taste the exact same as the authentic, organic items Millet Microwave Baking.

Freeze-dried food was developed throughout World War II as a procedure of keeping blood stream for battlefield accidents, without requiring chilling or damaging the organic nature of the plasma televisions. The innovation was actually later on administered to foodstuff after completion of the war. Coffee was just one of the very first freeze-dried products to become produced widespread. Lots of fruits, vegetables, chickens, eggs, and also meals are freeze-dried.

Freeze-dried food items possesses a lot of perks. Since as high as 98% of the water material has actually been actually taken out, the food items is remarkably lightweight, which lowers the price of shipping. This additionally makes it prominent with anyone that needs to carry their meals with all of them. Because it calls for no chilling, freight and also storing prices are actually very little. Freeze-dried meals is actually also pretty clean, as the dehydration process creates it practically difficult for yeast and also dangerous bacteria to make it through the process. Eventually, considering that the physical design of the food items is certainly not altered during the course of the freeze-dried procedure, the food items maintains much of its own color as well as taste when it is actually prepared by adding water. This produces it even more eye-catching to individuals, than meals preserved by various other procedures Curing Equipment.

One of the primary disadvantages of freeze-dried food is its own price. The equipment needed for this process is actually pricey, as well as the method on its own is time taking in and also delivery demanding. These costs are actually often handed down to the consumer, which creates freeze-dried meals very pricey when matched up to various other methods of food items maintenance like canning or even cold.

Raw Materials

Some meals are exceptionally appropriate to the freeze-drying process. Liquids, lean parts of chicken, as well as small fruits and veggies may be freeze dried out easily. Coffee is actually the very most common freeze-dried fluid. Pieces or even pieces of shrimp, complainer, lobster, meat, and also hen may be actually freeze-dried. They are commonly blended along with vegetables as component of soups or even main dish entrees. Nearly all fruits and veggies may be freeze-dried, featuring beans, corn, peas, tomatoes, berries, limes, oranges, and also pineapples. Also items like olives and also water chestnuts can be actually refined this method.

Dense parts of pork as well as much larger, entire vegetables as well as fruit products container certainly not be freeze dried along with any effectiveness. Along with a lot of other meals, it is just certainly not efficient to protect all of them by freeze drying Curing Equipment.

The Manufacturing Process

A suspended animation handling facility is normally a large industrial plant with contemporary equipment. Its own food-handling locations need to be approved due to the United States Department of Agriculture, and the firm and its staff members have to abide by authorities regulatory operations. The vegetation may consist of an obtaining and also storage area for biting foods that come to the vegetation in mass; a meals preparing food region for those foods that should be prepared before handling; a sizable area along with a number of huge freezing and drying out enclosures; as well as a product packaging place. The resource may additionally feature a research study place where strengthened methods of freeze-drying foods items are actually created, and also an examination cooking area where brand-new preparation approaches to boost the final flavor, high quality, and structure of the meals are tried. Some vegetations are dedicated to freeze-drying a single item like freeze-dried coffee. Others process a vast array of meats, veggies, as well as fruit products. Nonfood products like chemicals and also drugs are actually typically processed in separate plants coming from food items.

The freeze-drying procedure differs in the particulars of temperatures, opportunities, pressures, and also advanced beginner steps from one food to one more. The following is a generalised description of the procedure along with several particular exemptions noted.

Examining as well as planning

The food is actually very first examined for contamination and also pureness. Fruit products, meats, and also a few other edibles are checked for bacterial matters and wasting. Much of the job of the plant is dependent on the harvesting season for every food. In January, as an example, the plant will be actually processing oatmeal, olives, limes, oranges, as well as blueberries. In July, it would certainly refine dark-green grains, peas, and strawberries, one of others.

Some type of food items, like fish and shellfish as well as chickens, must be cooked prior to freeze drying out. They are generally purchased actually cut in to tiny items. If they have not been actually pre-cooked and also frosted, these foods items are placed in big, industrial-sized teakettles and also properly prepared. Fruit products and veggies are actually usually bought currently cut, pitted, as well as striped. These foods are actually merely washed along with sprays of water. Some veggies, like greens and corn, are actually promptly heated, or even paled, prior to cold. Coffee is bought as a pre-brewed centered liquid. Since the aroma of coffee is vital to customers, a tiny volume of coffee bean oil may be included to the liquid. Unlike the water, the oil is not taken out during the drying method.

Cold

The food items are actually expanded on level, steel racks which are actually stacked 20 to 30 higher in slots in a rolled cart. Along with meals that has been actually pre-cooked and also frozen, the holders are actually pre-chilled to stop partial thawing throughout handling. Along with liquids like coffee, the pre-brewed coffee is actually put right into shallow pots. The carts are actually rolled in to a huge, walk-in coldroom where the temperature level may be as low as -40 F (-40 C). Within this very cold temperature, the food is actually quickly frozen. There are normally a dozen or even more coldrooms in procedure, and also the carts are kept there until it is opportunity to move them in to the drying enclosure.

Drying

The carts are actually rolled away from the coldroom and also in to a vacuum cleaner drying chamber. When it comes to fluids like coffee, the icy coffee is actually first ground up right into small bits in a low-temperature grinder. The drying out chamber is actually a large, long, parallel cylinder along with semi-elliptical ends. One end is actually hung to open up and also close. When the racks of frozen food items are actually within, the chamber is closed and sealed off. In a large plant, there may be actually twenty to 30 drying enclosures effective at any moment.

The drying out operation includes a process recognized as sublimation. In sublimation, a sound component is pushed to change condition in to an effervescent product without ever before becoming a liquid. In the instance of freezedried meals, the strong ice crystals caught in the icy food items pieces are actually pushed to alter into water vapor without ever before coming to be liquid water. In the drying out enclosure, this is actually performed through vacating the air with an air pump to lower the tension to about 0.036 psi (0.0025 pub). The temp of the food items is increased to concerning 100 degrees through straight transmission with all-time low of the racks, radiation from heat lights, or even microwave heating system. When the enclosure is vacated of air, the stress is below the limit at which water can simultaneously exist in a strong, fluid, and effervescent (water vapor) condition. This limit is called the triple factor of water. The moment the pressure falls below this factor, the heat triggers the ice crystals caught in the frosted items of food items to alter directly to water vapor. The water vapor is actually drained and compressed within the chamber leaving the meals behind. The dried food items is full of tiny gaps, like a sponge, where the ice crystals were when found. Not simply performs this produce it less complicated for the food to reabsorb water when it is organized usage, yet the dried food retains its own authentic shapes and size. The opportunity for this drying process differs. Freeze-dried liquids create take only approximately four hrs to ready, while semi-solids and solids like soup and also sliced porks may take 12 hrs or even more.

Sizing and also blending

The dried out food items are actually cleared away from the drying out enclosure and also examined for moisture web content and also pureness.

Some food items pieces may be actually ground to a smaller sized dimension or may be decreased to a grain. Others might be actually filtered to separate them by measurements. Pair of or additional different products may also be actually mixed all together to fulfill a customers specific requirements.

Product packaging

Freeze-dried foods need to be actually closed in closed compartments to avoid all of them from taking in dampness from the air. Numerous kinds of containers may be made use of: plastic laminated aluminum foil bags, metallic and also plastic cans, or even metallic and thread drums for bulk packing. Some freeze-dried food items is suction crammed, in which the sky is actually evacuated coming from the container just before securing. Various other food items possesses a passive gasoline like nitrogen infused in to the container just before sealing off to change the air in the air and also avoid oxidation or even spoiling of the food. The packing is actually performed in the freeze-dry plant nearly as very soon as the foods show up of the drying enclosure. The plant may develop, pack, and also seal the plans to the intended body weight for the end user. Plans that are to become sold directly to the individual are actually crammed in cartons, stacked on pallets, and also transferred to the grocery storage facility. Other freeze-dried meals is actually packaged in mass as well as sold to a secondary processor for consolidation in to various other foodstuff. Freeze-dried blueberries, for instance, might be actually sent out to a firm that produces hot cake and muffin mixes.

Top quality Control

Each meals has various processing, storage space, and also rehydration criteria. A number of the variables feature the dimensions of the raw meals products prior to freezing, the food preparation or even blanching opportunity and also temperature level, the price of cold and ultimate freezing temperature, the fee of application of vacuum cleaner and also the last vacuum cleaner stress during drying, the price as well as procedure of treatment of warm and the final dried item temp, the permitted recurring humidity material after drying out, the storage space temp as well as ambience (suction, nitrogen, etc) after drying, as well as the rehydration techniques. Unconfined freeze-drying centers, digital microprocessors moderate the opportunities, temperatures, as well as stress throughout each measure of the method. A core computer accumulates this information, analyzes it utilizing statistical quality management procedures, and outlets it for later reference. This guarantees that the food items delivered out to the general public for consumption has actually been actually by means of a purely regulated procedure that complies with authorities guidelines and varies only a little coming from set to batch. The pc likewise gathers data on the microbial and also moisture amounts of the uncooked, bulk meals items entering the vegetation and also the ultimate freezedried products. Special devices might feature computerized fuel chromatographs and also oxygen analyzers. Also the product packaging materials are actually examined for their capacity to avoid water vapor and also oxygen transmittal.
