  • Well props to you guys for that apple, it is one of my absolute favorites. Right up there with honeycrisp. I don’t super care about apples in general, but there are so many damn overhyped apples coming out these days (looking at you, Cosmic Crisp) that I started to develop a disdain for apples in general, which made finding the Frange rating scale quite cathartic.





  • Actually, you could eat these if you wanted to! They would be a very neutral, underwhelming flavor, tho. And I think this is the only stage where they would be soft enough to be palatable. Once it matures more and toughens up it is too fibrous for culinary use. That being said, they are purported to have a lot of the same health benefits as the more commonly consumed Ganoderma lucidum, so one could take the matured growth, powderize it, and take that as a supplement or make a tea from it. (And the usual disclaimer: I am not a doctor, please do your own fact checking and refer to a doctor before adopting this into your health regimen, especially if you already take medicine that the compounds in this mushroom could possibly interact with)





  • Okay, I gotta ask because I try to reduce waste wherever I can and I have been tempted in the past by re-usable pads. The thing that’s held me off from actually switching is that I have a VERY heavy flow and when I imagine how much mess I would be scrubbing vs just throwing it away and not having to handle it… not to mention the cleanup for me would be a monthly hassle (I am unfortunately very regular). I’ve also wondered wtf to do with that massacre when I have to change somewhere other than home, since I often have to change at least once if not twice throughout the day, especially for the first few days of my cycle. I have wondered if I could do a combo of cup + reusable pad but cleaning the cup between uses when I am away from home is also not easy, plus there has been a few times where I struggled to remove the cup and that stressed me out so bad that I still have some anxiety about trying them again…

    Anywho, what’s your take on the differences you’ve had to adopt to make this change? Any pointers or helpful products would be very appreciated!
