I'm back on LI visiting my parents for a couple of weeks and in the shopping centers by their house are not one, but two, "French artisan" bakeries. Grew up and spent the majority of my life on the island (left in 2018, live in Wyoming now), was last back here in 2022 and I've never seen one anywhere here before.

Is this a new thing?

(Also, I miss my wife, I miss my home in the mountains, but it's good to visit where people tawk properly and I can get a proper slice or a knish for a little bit. And WBAB still sounds exactly the same as it did 40 years ago.)

Man, they're early this year. There are two full buses at Teton Point turnout rn (one was here when I pulled in, and another just arrived). It seems VERY early.

(Edit: spelling)

We live in Jackson Hole, WY, so we're in FDA zone 4 and a little above 6200' elevation (for those in the civilized world, that's about 1900 meters) . We have a 4'x8' raised bed in our driveway with a greenhouse cover on it and some heating lamps because our growing season is very short. We managed to have a steady supply of kale all winter with it, although this past winter was atypically warm and we even had some nights that were above freezing!

Unfortunately, this means we have a lot of ants. I've tried a number of things to get rid of them. We've used food-grade diatomaceous earth. We've used a mix of sugar water and borax. We still have ants. Anyone have any good organic solutions for this?

Hey all,

Is there a Chinese/Asian market in IF or nearby? We for sure don't have one here in Jackson but we're in IF pretty regularly for Costco runs. We're looking for sichuan peppercorns and would rather not have to plan a trip to SLC.
