I made chocolate for the first time. 😁
Ten years ago, I planted a seed that grew a tree that produced 3 pods that produced seeds that I fermented, dried, roasted, peeled, added sugar and ground into chocolate paste. It's delicious. The original tree where I sourced the seed that grew my tree was covered by lava in 2018.

#food #chocolate #foodforest #homesteadingIt didn't make a ton, so I'll probably grind it up with some of the macadamia nuts I got from my neighbor and make a lovely chocolate mac nut spread. 🤤
Curing mac nuts in the truck cab bc it's the driest place on the homestead. -

@zl2tod I have the right tool for the job, albeit only one nut at a time. 😅

I refurbished a machine used for splitting bulk macadamia nuts once: two large counter-rotating steel wheels with circular hard and sharp blades around their circumferences. The nuts dropped one at a time between the blades. The nuts had to be sorted by size and the machine adjusted for each size.

@zl2tod sounds like work 😅 all I do is
go thru and take all the husks off one at a time, then go back thru and shell them. One. At. A. Time. 😅😵💫 -

They are said to be toxic to dogs: paraplegia.

#food #chocolate #foodforest #homesteading@saltphoenix That is really amazing.
But also, um, "covered by lava"?!

@saltphoenix Oh just looked at your bio. "I live on a volcano; on purpose." That makes more sense now lol

#seasons #time #PlantTrees #foodforest #permaculture #homesteadingI've been sitting here in the jungle for a long time. Just me and all this food I planted for all the people that are too busy to plant food. 🥹

@Bfordham yes! By 2018, when the big eruption that took the tree happened, I had already moved out of the rental where the original tree was. The little seedling was already in the ground for several years at my little homestead by the time mama tree was taken by Pele. 🥰

I provided the cover art on this one. One of my fave tracks by any artist, but extra cool that this artist is my gf :3

Mi piace questa mia battuta perché è surreale, e pure viviamo in tempi in cui ci può venire da chiedere "ma... può succedere davvero?"

Some of you may have noticed that my bot @genomics_daily was recently put to sleep. 🤖🧬
It was a fun exercise for me and hopefully a useful tool for someone, but after 1+ years of #AI-generated summaries of #genomics papers, I realised that I was also contributing to the #AIslop that is polluting our beloved internet. And I didn't like it.
In any case, the code is still on #Codeberg for everyone to play with. 🙂

@theorangetheme @jwz 100% exactly my gen-x cynical point
