Fresh produce is completely raw, frozen is typically parboiled (very slightly cooked), and canned is completely cooked. Frozen is typically the best balance between freshness and convenience. The only veggies I buy fresh are things I'm going to eat raw, like broccoli for eating with dips.

Just be extra diligent in verifying the contents of any seed mix. Some of those mixes are full of invasive species.

The "14 years" part of the headline is particularly annoying. This thing that happens several times a year will happen the second time this month next week! It's like a headline about getting three paychecks in a month and how it won't happen again for six months. Technically true, but it's still a regular paycheck.

I read your name as Coffee Jerky and honestly I would absolutely try that.

Are you not planning on getting older? Time marches on.

I personally like the early access model. You get the choice to play the game now, as-is, or wait for the developers to call it finished. Last Epoch is a great example. In its current state, it is absolutely not finished. It still gave me hundreds of hours of entertainment, though, and I expect I'll get hundreds more when I revisit it again when it's officially launched.

Quitting to desktop in elden ring is as simple as Esc, up, E, Z, left, E, E. Super simple!

A Plague Tale is an incredible example of what can be done with a linear design. Both Innocence and Requiem were amazing.

Open world games like the Witcher 3 leave the player with this really weird interaction with plot urgency. I'm looking for someone but just barely missed them? Hurry to the next town so I don't miss them again? But then zero consequences when I ignore that quest for twenty levels.

The space is pretty flexible size wise. Turks cap, Gregg's mistflower, and Salvia greggii are all happily growing in the bed already and doing well. It doesn't look like anise hysop is native to my area, unfortunately. Thanks for the Texas Smartscape recommendation, their search tool is fantastic!

Yes, max pressure. My model instant pot doesn't have different pressure settings and it comes out great.

Instant pot rice:

-Wash rice several times, more if you want to avoid the rice all sticking together. Drain thoroughly after each wash.

-For rice that typically uses 2 cups of water per cup of rice, like long grain rice or basmati rice, add 1 1/4 cups (1.25 cups) of water per cup of rice.

-Pressure cook for six minutes.

-Natural release for at least ten minutes, more is also okay.

-Fluff rice before serving.

This works perfectly every time for me and is just as good as the fancy rice maker I used to have. I haven't made rice on the stove in years. Even when I was making it on the stove, it was never this good, and definitely never this consistent.

Carrots are part of the Apiacea family (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apiacea). There are quite a few poisonous/toxic species in that family, and many of the species look alike to the untrained eye.

What OP described are heirloom varieties of carrots, though, not wild carrots.
