I've never seen a chip so coated in flavour dust

Can someone explain how she gets the tops of her little paws so filthy? Doesn't happen in the garden, only when we walk down the sidewalk.

I love her so much

Sourdough newbie here!

A colleague gave me some starter, and we've had really good luck with crepes from the discard, so we went for it and baked a loaf (what else to do when it's+35°C!). It was chewy, tangy, and absolutely delicious. My husband thinks it was a little too dense and should have been airier tho.

Any thoughts or suggestions welcome! I'm worried that I won't be able to recreate this when it's not 35° in the house, is this likely to be a one hit wonder?

Hello!

Location, central europe

I've asked in r/fossils, as well as r/askgeology and gotten some mixed answers (all very cool possibilities) but was also directed here.

Suggestions so far for what this could be are:

Ichnofossil from a tiny organism such as a worm.

Fossilized coral

Branching stromatoporoid

Mineral dendrites

We're currently studying "Layers of the Earth" in 1st grade science, and just coming off of our unit on "Fossils and Paleontology" so my kids are going wild over every cool rock they find. Would love to come on Monday with a solid answer to this one.

Thanks!

This one really caught my eye though, and I promised to ask an expert for a proper answer. Any idea what this is?

EDIT - Thanks everyone for your answers! I'm excited to talk to my students on Monday about all the cool ideas that were presented, and explain that these are likely trace fossils.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to foraging and just want some reassurance (before I stick it in my mouth) that I have indeed got a garden full of purslane, and not spurge.

The leaves are "fat" looking like a succulent, edges are smooth not serrated, and when I break the stem I don't see any milky substance.

Thoughts?

Suri-cat loves going down to the garden. We try to take her once a day (twice when the weather is lovely) but she doesn't understand rainy days. She will sit and cry at the door until we take her out, realize it's not sunny, then come in and sulk.

But when she's crying at the door she uses a totally different meow than her other meows. The one at the door is quiet, pathetic, and raspy. Like a little cat who has lost her voice, using her last ounce of strength to let out one last pleading meow.

It's both hilarious and a little heartbreaking. Anyone else's cloud a little master manipulator?

Tiny white dragon would like it noted that this heat will not be tolerated. Please submit complaints to the appropriate authority and resolve this matter, immediately.

Those are "do better, human" ears.

Hello all,

Trying to figure out what animal is using my vegetable garden as a playground.

Location, Austria

Each print is around 7cm across (maybe 6).

My initial guess was that a dog had run through and dig up some patches, but some of the footprints look like they have thumbs, and much more rounded than I would have thought for dog. Plus there are no claw marks (although, I suppose a domestic dog could have clipped claws).

Any help would be appreciated!
