RE; Root Cellaring...is there a reference to how deep one must go/dig to attain constant cool temps to actually store food?

eg - I'm in Texas. Your root cellar in WI would be what? 10 feet deep to be effective?

Would I have to go 20 feet deep here?

I know there has to be a reference somewhere because I've read about 'passive heating/cooling' by digging (x amount deep depending on latitude) & venting the cooler/warmer air into the home...that kind of thing...

God bless the HSLDA.

I bought my son's family a lifetime membership (Christmas present), as he and his wife are homeschooling their 4 children.

...because both parents today have to work to support the government.

I think of that all the time on these threads...that little factoid is the main contributor to this mess. Glad you pointed it out...though at a point, it's too obvious to mention in a way...

I have/had this and remember the patch over my (dominant) right eye with frustration.

I wonder if you eat a diet rich in choline, which converts to acetylcholine would be preferable to taking a drug(?)...

Quick copied food sources:
Beef liver.
Eggs.
Beef top round.
Roasted soybeans, canned kidney beans.
Roasted chicken breast.
Cod.
Cooked quinoa.
Cooked shiitake mushrooms, boiled broccoli and Brussels sprouts.

Organic chem was THE hardest undergrad class evah! (and I'm including calculus)

Your profile page is excellent sir!

Ha! Very good!

I grew up in that area (Marysville), and went to summer camp - Camp Wilson - in Bellefontaine.

It was an idyllic childhood for me, and I can't imagine the plain, good folks that I knew back then would tolerate such depravity...

...but things change, I suppose...I was gone when the Honda plant moved in, my dad worked for Scott seed co.

Sad to think of, really. I hope you can marshal enough opposition to this perverted stuff.

(assuming you are in the area - I'd love to read about it if you had a profile...)

My father was in the 32nd Bomber Squadron, 301st Group.

My dad was in the 333rd Bomb Group, 507th Squadron.

At one point, they stationed out of Tinian. He and his 4 (yes, 4!) brothers enlisted on the same day - My Grandfather had 5 Gold Stars proudly displayed in his front window.

He ran into one of his brothers on the island... his brother was making extra money running a laundry from used plane parts;;;;

Wow. lol. ain't that the troof!

..,.or The Cask of Amontillado! :)

THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.

That. Is. Hilarious.

Agree completely about the "standouts"!

Wonderful to have 3 in-a-row from Artemisia Gentileschi 21, 2 & 3. Knowing what she went through, it gives me to speculate why a seduction, or "command to attend" would stir her artistic juices so thoroughly. All 3 have many elements in common, especially Bathsheba's focus on her hair, I think Artemisia herself was beautiful and had beautiful hair...and her Bathsheba is "strongly beautiful" (if that's a thing, anyway :)

I'm definitely a 'Caravaggist', yet also, I'm a very firm 'Gentilischiist'

Also, a bit on Jean-Leon Gerome #28):
very prolific talent - and very clear-lined composition...his art is described by his detractors as 'pompous', but I find it beautiful...so maybe, I'm a Geromeist too!

Pete, THANKS! I have been trying to remember that pretty little colorful flower I ffilled a bed with once many years ago.

Portulaca!

Plus, Hedy Lamarr was a brainiac!

KUDOS!

I'm not offended by "Redskins"...

GET RID OF "WASHINGTON"!!!!

Great image! Speaks to a pet peeve of mine, thanks!
