A couple of years ago I read Salt: A World History which as expected was about salt. A large percent of the book was about how salt was used a preservative and talking about how it was done. This included recipes and examples of "domestics work" throughout the ages. Its easy to forget about how of this "housewife" work included preserving and rationing the food to last all year. This included a lot of different passage about how to butcher and then preserve different animals, not to mention, cheese making, pickling, fermenting etc. A lot of this work is highly specialized and labor intensive. So of course this man needs a wife since he wasn't trained on these skills.

I was wondering if he was coming back. Really the most important character

Not a bad idea. Just get a little messy

Good idea about the reducing light. I use android so I will have to find the setting to reduce light.

I might get a paper agenda and an app.

Also to note that some female athletes have started to try to get their big events to happen follicular phase of their cycle. During this time they are stronger, faster and better than other parts of their cycles. Its all based on their hormone. I was chatting with some crazy distance runners who were trying to only schedule their big marathons / ultra marathons during their follicular phase only. They also try to get their distance runs and recovery days synced with their cycles. You really need an app for that.

Interesting. All the good names are duplicated I guess.

That is nice. I work from home so I don't think being connected will be a problem while I am working. I will look into feed baby it seems to still be around.

I would also check out contraction timers or something for you to track them. It was super nice to have when riding to the hospital and before getting hooked up to all the monitors.

This is a great idea. Do you have a specific one? I see one on The Bump website. I assume that is super simple to use and find one

I think LunaTracker is made for tracking periods. A little early for that for our baby girl.......

[–] dumples@midwest.social 1 points 1 day ago

My wife loves to track things and is a little anxious. I think we will get one and likely not use it all the time or use it constantly.

I like the old school checklist but it is a little difficult on the go. But I know we will print somethings off at some point.

Minimal permissions is what I was looking for

Well I think I'll try it out. As long as you aren't getting tons of weird ads now it would be fine

 

My partner just hit her third trimester and we are getting everything ready for when our first baby arrives. When our baby arrives we want to use one of those baby tracking apps that allow you to log when the baby was fed, when they pooped etc. I want to make sure whatever my partner and I use doesn't sell our data.

We will need something that we both can use on our own phones and want it simple and easy to use. What did everyone use? Did you like it? Did it feel useful and safe?

Every bit is worth something, even if no one person or group can do enough.

I have Ostrich fern on the front of my house that I have been waiting years to try. I keep missing the window when they are ready so I was overjoyed when I saw my fiddlehead popping up. I chopped 9, steamed with in a pan with a little butter for 5 minutes. I plated them with just a sprinkle of flaky salt and had them for lunch today.

They were great and tasted a little like asparagus but with a more savory, earthly flavor. They were amazing and totally worth the wait. I might check tomorrow to see if I can sustainability grab a few more to have them again.

10/10 would forage again.

I am looking to purchase a crochet case from Muud for my wife's birthday. I have been looking at their website and my local yarn / craft store to find one but I am having the hardest time. I have found the Bea case but they say its for knitting needles but they have it under their crochet section. Does anyone know if this will work?
