I have sumac seeds. I removed the large stems and ground in a coffee grinder after toasting. I put it on my salad and now it’s like eating sand: lots of bites randomly have really hard stuff. What did I do wrong?
I pet a stray cat and then walked through my carpeted house before putting my clothes in the washing machine. Should I preventatively do something? If so what? I rented an apartment that had fleas once and it was horrible, so I really don’t want that again.
I’m looking for a well maintained weekend backpacking trip in the park for a beginner (I’m the beginner, but I’m going with someone very experienced that’s hiked the AT). I’d like the trail not to be overgrown because I’m very nervous about ticks. So anyplace that’s not likely to have many ticks is good. It will need to start from a place with parking.
