tricky, you really will want to use a pill cutter or a knife (last resort) you can't do it with just your fingers....if it had a line (was scored) you could but otherwise it's just going to fall apart. If you can't cut it yourself then you can weigh the pill, break it apart the best you can and then consume half the weight. You only want to do this will NON-Extended release pills and pills that do NOT have an enteric coating. some pills directly say "do not crush" so you'll want to look that up if you can first. If you do decide to crush the pill and it's ok to do so then your scale needs to weigh in grams because ounces are too large. Good Luck!

@@OldSchoolPrepper thks for the fast response! I guess I will just get a Pill Splitter (those that have a triangular groove and a cutting blade hinge)

I got mine at a Restaurant Supply Store...it is now called US Chef Mart though I'm not sure they still carry this huge size but there are several large online restaurant supply companies which may. I also just found it on Amazon and put the link below: amzn.to/3Yi3zVg

hey, I just found my same colander on Amazon! amzn.to/3Yi3zVg

i never thought about that, i do put wet in here and so far so good but it would only take once! great point!

That's a great trick with the tomatoes! any particular type of okra that is more forgiving?

@@OldSchoolPrepper not that I know of,,,,,

@@OldSchoolPrepper I should clarify that the Tom's I hang around are green and I THINK that Baker Creek heirloom seeds has a lot of varieties of okra,,,, I've been replanting for years with the same old okra I've always had !!!!

It makes life easier for sure!

i know! it's far cheaper to use the seeds than buy the crowns...if I plant the seeds then I get a small crown next year and in 2 years a crown big enough to give a couple spears. The berry method is great if one plants on keeping a patch in the same area.

That sounds like a great set up! I have a kitchen bowl on my counter for scraps, I might have to look into the double set up like you have, my recycle is in the kitchen too but by the back door.

I thought everyone knew about this but the youngsters don't...alas we try and teach the masses 😎

I will bury these when I top of the beds, I agree that's a recipe for fruit flys and various critters. thanks for the lead on the Okra, I've heard from several other gardeners that Clemson is a good one

when I started gardening 30 years ago (near where I live now) I was in zone 7A, now I am in 8B with some close areas (microclimates) reading 9...that is almost tropical...I am on the 45th parallel!!!! in OREGON!!! another reason to love heirlooms and volunteers as they are changing with the climate.

@@OldSchoolPrepper Might get near seasonal here in a few days. Currently t shirt weather 😞

thanks!

it works too, I love being able to be lazy and successful!

hi Michael, thanks for coming by

i will go out of my way to save seeds from those plants that return...if you have the time to save seeds from some of those tomatoes it will be very worth it!

@@OldSchoolPrepper Yes, we have already set some seeds aside but guess we need to scramble and get a few more.

hi Juni, I am in Oregon USA south of Portland, zone 8B. a decade ago we were 7B things are changing fast.

hi Austin, I see where you are going here it would be an interesting experiment.

@OldSchoolPrepper I like where you're going with this! On a somewhat related note, I've been following your experiments and decided to fertilize my tomato plants this year with wood ash and vitamin P. I was rewarded with a bounty of great tasting tomatoes. Thank you!

some old lists for sure...Of course I love Concrete Blonde but it's been years, I need to revisit. I do like the old dark stuff best....of course I am Gen X so there's that. I've read most of Crichton and my online library has a killer audiobook (downloadable) selection that I can listen to while I garden/work ... so I really only add to the KZbin list when i can't find things elsewhere...you've added some great music suggestions I need to give some of the oldies a good listen, Do you like Disturbed? They really broke back out with their Sound of Silence...great band and pretty good vids.

Elo live at wembley stadium singing telephone line is worth the time to watch on youtube. It may even make it to your cry playlist

yea, it can be a lot of carrots but being a scratch cook what i don't eat today will go into a dish tomorrow. do a pint of carrots is about 2 cups...that is a lot as a side dish...but some for a side and then some in stew/soup/ even a quick pickle to add to taco's/burritos...added to a curry, stir fry., even added to a green salad. good point on the amount tho...yes they can be frozen and will keep 5 plus days in the fridge. I forgot to mention about the playlists that the Songs to Cry was made by someone else, I just stole it...but i did make one just called Music, I think you'd dig it too esp if you're Gen x too (which I think you are.) First song is "Black Bird Song" by DeWyze

i do love it

the berries show that your asparagus was pretty happy, maybe giving them a year off was a good thing! get those berries and replant now or in the spring.

ha ha, my younger sister used to do that and drink the bottle. She's still a soy sauce fiend.

you are super smart!

so much good stuff in there

love good food

Thanks for watching Michael

yay Tzatziki

hi Edmis, I have 2 super quick questions first I promise there is a reason as I'm tracking folks that need extra help and ask questions...1) which country are you from? and 2) are you Gen Z (if no which generation do you fall into)...ok That said I linked the product in the description to make it easy for people to find. Maybe you missed it, or can't access it since you are in another country.. to make it super easy for you I copied and pasted the ingredient list here: spicerally.com/cavenders-greek-seasoning-ingredients/

thanks for dropping by.

Thanks so much! 😊

thanks

hi Metalhead, the second option...a MINIMUM of 12# PSI for you (for me it's 11#) for 90 mins (like for meat most recipes are less than 90 mins but meat is 90). If your PSI drops below the min then you need to get back up to the 12PSI and start timing all over again ... boo!

I can cook but baking is a challenge for me...BUT i'm going to learn this year...today is the first day I'm trying sourdough from my neighbor! wish me luck

@@OldSchoolPrepper awesome, its not so bad I just started as well :)

I've since made it several times, it's great!

i've never liked margarine, oil bleh. I do love a good hummus and have a good recipe on my channel I do hate removing the chickpea skins tho does Katie leave hers on?

@@OldSchoolPrepper No she hand shucks them!

ah yes, the HOT pepper lovers want all the insides for sure. keep it hot hot hot. great idea.

it does, you'd like topping it with something spicy (like cowboy candy or just a good salsa) and the cool with the hot is great on a chip or cracker.

Thanks for watching!

it was easy and it worked...happy days

all of these are super healthy....good protein and fats, not much sugar/carbs...eat away baby! plus you are skinny!

we are smart...thighs are so much better than the dry breast

it's practically a soft taco....less hot spice and more savory and flavorful. You'd like it I think

thanks Michael!

hi Lex, sometimes I get tired of my own voice and take a break...so usually if there is a lot of writing and music then i'm not doing a lot of talking. If you want to hear me talk through sauerkraut I have another vid done that way: studio.kzbin.info5Bboq19GJJU/edit

what do you recommend?
