Trail sushi

9/10. Had this idea last year on a day hike and did my best to make it on my last trip. Only prep needed was to dehydrate seasoned sushi rice. Once rehydrated I added a mayo packet and hoisin sauce. I had sriracha too but didn’t add it since the tuna had enough flavor imo.

In the future I would make the sushi rice extra seasoned, I think it lost some flavor in the dehydration process. And the seasoned tuna is what made this truly great. I had this again on my trip with unseasoned salmon and it was not nearly as good. The nori could be subbed for furikake or taken out of its packaging to make this meal less bulky.

How to remove English Ivy rooted above ground?

This english ivy is rooted under the siding of my house, 2 stories above the ground. I cut it back to just the area immediately underneath the siding last year but it’s grown back with a vigor this spring.

As you can see is the photo, it is very difficult to cut back, I can’t get it from the below since the ground is too uneven for a ladder. The balcony railing is 3’ tall so I can’t easily reach over the top, and the gaps in the railing are very difficult to maneuver between. Also my fiber optic cables are running through this area so I can’t take pruners to it willy nilly without being very careful about cutting the brown(!!) cables😭

This is a rental so I can’t do anything major. The best I can come up with is pouring a bottle of vinegar or some herbicide down the side of the house and hope for the best. Any suggestions are much appreciated, I find it annoying to cut it back every month to keep it from encroaching on my balcony and planters. Everything I can find online is says to detach the ground roots and it will die but I tried that last year and clearly this plant refuses to die.
