Yeah, I don’t know if that tracks. Wingspan has sold more than 1.3 million copies (as of September 2021) which is way way way more than the average board game sells.

I’d far more believe that they couldn’t keep up with production than they were intentionally limiting supply.

Ooo, fantastic. I’ve been doing sugar extractions of lemon zest for a mead recently, and we tried drying and blitzing the zests after filtering.

For us the powder was nice (partly because it got a bit candied during the process) but fairly mild in taste. I think it could still absolutely be fun to use to sprinkle on desserts of drinks, for visuals if nothing else.

Here’s my lovely girl Desdemona taking a nap on my leg (bonus selfie shot of myself):

And my strange gremlin of a son, Darien:

Maybe not as zoomed in as requested, but I can’t get new ones as they’re both currently hiding under a bed due to the contractors in the house.

We did a mix, although the hardneck did a lot better than the softneck this year. There’s a bit more softneck still in the ground that we’re waiting on.

I personally prefer the hardneck only because it gives me tasty tasty scapes to grill.

It’s fantastic, as simple as just chucking some garlic into a jar with honey. Wait long enough and you get a really nice almost balsamic-y garlicy liquid to drizzle on stuff (I love it on pizza). I’ve also done it with some chopped up habanero included to make it spicy.

Insert usual caveats about being careful with fermenting food at home and doing your own research, and there being a small risk of botulism.

It’s when the first couple sets of leaves (from the bottom) start to die and turn brown. Also motivated by wanting to get other stuff in the ground.

Not that I’m an expert by any means! For gardening I’m mostly following what my wife tells me.

My favorite, and most played game is absolutely Arboretum.

It plays quick, it’s small enough to stash in a bag, it’s easy to teach, and it feels like it has endless play and variation. The game also lets me do one of my favorite things in a board game, which is let me go for high risk high reward “shoot the moon” strategies. Absolutely lovely bit of tension and backstabbing fun, but concentrated all into the reveals right at the end so it doesn’t drag the entire experience. Great at every player count, especially at 2 players which is important given that most of my board gaming is just with my wife.

Plus you get to look at lovely art of trees while you playing (with the original edition at least, the newer one has worse art IMHO).
