First finger lime of the season!! 😍😍😍 #UrbanFruit #SanFranciscoHellscape #CitrusEdition

@ai6yr Delicious! It’s a pretty distinct citrusy flavour that’s probably closest to a true lime, yet still quite different. The real highlight is that the individual cells are spherical and look like pale green caviar. They’re quite tough, so I cut the fruit open lengthwise and scoop them out with a spoon (they don’t crush anywhere near as easily as the teardrop shaped cells in orange, lemons, etc.). Then when you eat them, the cells pop, releasing the tasty juice - it’s like eating pop rocks or something!

Awesome on fish and in cocktails!

@Carolee @ai6yr Mine’s about 5 years old and after producing just a handful of fruit last year seems to have taken off this year.

It desperately needs pruning though, and I kind of left that too long, so if I can offer one tip I’ve learned the hard way, it’s to start shaping the bushes now, before they start producing and before they turn into a thick, tangled mess of gigantic stabby thorns. 😬

Here’s one guide I found that talks specifics: https://www.nature-and-garden.com/gardening/pruning-finger-lime.html

@Carolee @ai6yr Exhibit A: 😬😬😬

@mcc Do you happen to have a preferred alternative browser that you’d recommend? I see lots of folx here recommending Vivaldi, but I’ve also heard that the founders have a bit of a dodgy history with Opera (which they allegedly also founded).

@mattly 🚨🚨🚨

@skinnylatte @ai6yr That’s exactly how I know that area too! Did the naturalist talk about “the march of the manzanita”?

@ai6yr @skinnylatte POOPENAUT DOME!!!!11 😍😍😍

Love that place, in no small part due to the awesome name!

@skinnylatte I wonder if @ai6yr can figure out where you are in this pic? 🤔

My daring guess: California.

@plexus @cwebber plz let’s not get car’ried away

@douglasvb @skinnylatte The only legit chai on the west coast is to make it yourself. And LOTS of adrak plz. #AdrakChaiFTW

@benroyce @draNgNon Hard to believe people STILL don’t get this. It’s US electoral system 101.

@skinnylatte We’ve been enjoying Tanglad banh mi recently, and they’re very reasonably sized (i.e. normal).

@skinnylatte 100%. Like a “ham sandwich” should be bread, butter, and ham, not an entire deli case of other meats and cheeses, topped off with an entire salad bar!!

@skinnylatte In my opinion it’s not even a sandwich if it doesn’t have butter (or, at a pinch, margarine). The first time I had a dry, nasty American “sandwich-like food object” I went back to complain and they looked at me like I had 2 heads.

@KimPerales @moira Meaningless performative meat for his base. He can’t overrule law with an EO, despite what he wants everyone to believe. That’s not how the separation of powers works.

@moira @KimPerales I understand. But it’s important not to fall for his trap and repeat his talking points - that’s how the self-fulfilling prophecy comes about.

Illiterate or clown? 🤔 #SanFranciscoHellscape #IlliterateClownsEdition

The better half made laksa for dinner last night and I’m eating the leftovers for lunch today. Zomfg how I’ve missed it - I don’t even remember the last time I had it, even though I used to eat it all the time!! #SEAsianFood #Cuisine #NostalgiaFoods

@skinnylatte sorry to call upon you like this, but you’re the expert: do you rate any specific laksa places in the city? I really need this back in my life on a regular basis!!!
