🌱☘️ microgreens varieties ☘️🌱 grow & eat your mini greens

Pictured: broccoli, beet, radish, wheatgrass, alfalfa, purple basil, amaranth, sunflower

[Wikipedia] Microgreens are vegetable greens (not to be confused with sprouts or shoots) harvested just after the cotyledon leaves have developed with one set of true leaves. They are used as a nutrition supplement, a visual enhancement, and a flavor and texture enhancement. Microgreens are used to add sweetness and spiciness to foods. Microgreens are smaller than “baby greens” because they are harvested very soon after sprouting, rather than after the plant has matured to produce multiple leaves. Among upscale grocers, they are now considered a specialty genre of greens, good for garnishing salads, soups, sandwiches, and plates.[1][2] They can be used as a main vegetable as well in certain recipes for added flavor and nutrition.

Somewhere between a sprout and a baby veggie

“Microgreens are also called ‘vegetable confetti’ because they are tiny, beautiful greens characterized by a variety of colors and shapes, as well as by very different and intense, sometimes surprising, flavors,” Di Gioia says. There are hundreds of different varieties of microgreens. Pea, sunflower, broccoli, and radish microgreens are some of the most popular varieties among Matchett’s customers. Other varieties include beets, Swiss chard, cucumber, sweet pea, endive, savoy, Brussels sprouts, mustards, cauliflower, tatsoi, spinach, kohlrabi, mint, basil, sorrel, cauliflower, arugula, collard, fenugreek, carrot, mizuna, corn, turnip, chervil, celery, scallions, and komatsuna...

“Over the last few years, several studies have suggested that microgreens are nutrient-dense, being a good source of essential minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants,” Di Gioia says. While “there is a lot of variability between species and growing conditions,” as Di Gioia points out, generally speaking microgreens often have a greater concentration of these micronutrients than their full-grown counterparts, pound for pound. Many microgreens are four to six times higher in vitamins and antioxidants than the fully grown plant, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. (source)

A complete, very long list of all GBoard-combinable emojis because I can't find one anywhere.

Ok so for those who haven't seen my stuff (or have only seen my Bionicle posts), I sometimes emoji mashup redraws, with the recent fourth one using GBoard-based fusions. Frustratingly, there's no actual list of fusion-compatible emojis, so I'll attempt to compile them, in a list below the "Read More" thing:

Green/▢ = compatible with fusion Blue/△ = only works with certain emojis Red/◯ = not compatible with fusion

Also, since other people's terms for specific emojis might not match up with mine, I recommend using CTRL+F and then doing this to find the specific emoji you're looking for. This list is in the order presented in GBoard's Emoji menu. Some of them will be generic unicode symbols, I don't know how to change that, sorry for the inconvenience. Also, I won't aknowledge multi-category Emoji.

A Piece of Cake for Everyone

fandom: Stony (Steve x Tony), Avengers 

summary: Steve wakes up alone on his birthday, knowing that Tony planned something, but not knowing what exactly.

length: 1 517 words

a/n: Happy 101st Birthday, Steve! I am just taking from Avengers: Endgame what I want and ignoring the rest ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

—————

A Piece of Cake for Everyone

On his one hundred and first birthday, Steve woke up alone in bed.

It was surprising because Tony rarely woke up before him on regular days (not counting the nights when Tony kept working up late and never stepped into their bedroom, and Steve walked into a very sleep deprived Tony, fumbling around in the kitchen and looking for coffee, more or less at the same hour Steve had a before training snack) while today wasn't a regular day. Steve expected something to happen. He couldn't point exactly what, because Tony had some crazy ideas, but he definitely didn't expect to wake up on his own will, and not by, let's say, a piece of birthday cake thrown into his face.

Experimentally, Steve rolled to the side of the bed Tony usually slept on and ran his hands over the smooth covers, looking for familiar warmth that wasn't there. Seemed that Tony left the bed a long time ago. Blowing a puff of air out, Steve rolled on his back, contemplating the ceiling with a frown. He didn't expect anything grand because of his birthday, but being woken up with a good morning-happy birthday kiss would be nice. Maybe Tony was waiting for him in the kitchen, burning bacon and toasts, but miraculously, being quite decent at omelet making and Steve could eat an omelet. With a yawn, Steve sat up and stretched, deciding that it was enough of moping in bed. Before he could fully get up, his eyes finally caught a sight of a folded note, standing on the top of his night table and a smile immediately showed on his face, when he saw his name written in the angular, quite chaotic print in red marker. Steve opened the note, his smile growing at the small Captain America shield and an arc reactor drawn in the lower right corner of the note and some scribbled balloons and fireworks showing here and there on the white paper.

'Steve, come to the sunroof when you wake up. Wear pants. From You Know Who I Am.'

Some serene, loving feeling came over him after reading the short note. Yeah, he knew from who it was. Although, the 'wear pants' clearly excluded the good morning-happy birthday sex Steve might have had also in mind and was looking forward to happen, after, of course, the good morning-happy birthday kiss he still didn't get. He almost put the note back, when noticed another message written on the back.

'It was from Tony. Just in case.'

Steve laughed and pressed the note to his face.

It didn't take long for Steve to finish his morning routine and change pajamas for a pair of comfortable slacks and a short sleeve shirt. He skipped breakfast and just sipped some orange juice straight from the fridge, before leaving. Sunroof, huh? Some romantic, late breakfast just for the two of them would be a great beginning of the day.

Turned out that it wasn't just the two of them.

"Oh, he's here!"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

An overwhelming yell erupted from everyone's throat and pierced right through Steve's sensitive eardrums, making him stumble back and almost falling down the stairs. There was a handful of confetti thrown into his face, and Steve blinked rapidly, protecting his eyes.

"What the-" Steve rubbed his face, trying to see what was going on and once his eyes focused, he smiled broadly. The whole sunroof was set for one of the biggest 4th of July barbecue parties Steve ever saw. There were already four grills working, filled with various meat and veggies, a long table set with colorful drinks and refreshments. Colorful deck chairs and bean bags were all over the place, small tables placed among them. And balloons. So many balloons, swaying gently and attached to every surface, almost threatening to lift the compound into the air. And his team, all over the sunroof, cheering and waving to him.

"Wow, guys," Steve started, entering the chaos, a smile not leaving his face. "Everything looks great!" he gave his honest opinion. "I really didn't expect this," he said. He really didn't. At least not yet. Usually, he and Tony spent the morning together, quietly and privately, before celebrating with the whole team in the afternoon and evening, among grilled meat and corn on the cob and potato salad and fireworks. "Uh… Why are we doing this now?" Steve asked, hoping he won't sound ungrateful.

"Ha! You turned one hundred one years old! You don't have much time left!" Sam called, turning the meat on the grill and making it sizzle.

"Happy birthday, you old fossil!" Natasha called happily from her bean bag.

"Hey, Steve! Smithsonian called!"

"Hope you won't turn into dust before sunset!"

Steve rolled his eyes dramatically but listened with a patient smile. The friendly jabs would continue if it wasn't for one voice.

"Damn, I hope he won't, we still have plans."

Steve whipped around so fast, his neck snapped painfully. Of course, he loved his friends, but there was one person he wanted to see more than others.

"Tony!"

"Hi, baby," Tony smiled, walking to Steve and standing on his tiptoes to press a kiss into his cheek. "Happy birthday."

"Ow, that was cold!"

"Kiss him properly!"

"Yeah, don't be shy!"

"Hey, I am saving better for later, alright?!" Tony called, soothing the crowd. After years of various team members walking up on Tony and Steve during their more intimate moments, it was a nice change to be encouraged to show more affection. Even if it was more of a tease than genuine concern. "Speaking of better, how about a piece of birthday cake for breakfast?" Tony asked, turning back to Steve.

"Sure," Steve nodded, and wrapped an arm around his husband, hearing the approval coming from the team. They walked together to a table, where Wanda and Vision just placed the cake down, still in the box.

"There are no candles. We couldn't find that many," Clint hummed, sipping some colorful drink through a straw.

"Come on, open it," Tony urged, squeezing Steve's waist.

During his time as an Avenger, Steve had a share of birthday cakes. His ultimate favorite one was a white sponge with vanilla frosting and fresh berries, classical, simple and absolutely delicious. The hamburger cake, which was a cake covered in colorful fondant to resemble a burger, he received one year was fun too. Yet, when he opened the box and took the lid off, he felt his mouth opening and color draining out of his face.

It was a cake in a shape of a butt. There was a blue thong in the middle made out of icing, some small, yellow stars placed on top of it. On the left side in cursive was written 'America's ass' and on the right 'Happy Birthday, Steve!' and a red mark of kissy lips in fondant. Steve had a feeling he knew those lips.

"And it's shaped after the real thing too!" Tony called loudly enough for everyone to hear and smacked Steve's bottom playfully.

There was laughter around him and Steve kept staring at the cake, not knowing what to think of it. Should he be offended? It felt like something he should be offended about. But… He knew those people for nearly a decade. Those where his friends and family. People he trusted the most in the world. People he could always turn to whenever he had a problem and was never rejected. They fought side by side with and maybe he wasn't blood-related to any of them, but there was some strong bond between connecting them all. Stronger than Steve could put into words. And, in some crass, twisted way, the cake was kinda funny.

"Guyyys," Steve choked out in laughter, covering eyes with one hand. "You've got to be shitting me."

More laughter.

"That's an unfortunate choice of words!"

"Cut the cake, Steve!"

"Hold on, who said any of you can get it?!" Tony called, "after all, it is my husband's ass, it is basically my property."

There was a lot of hissing and booing.

"It belongs to America! It is a national treasure!"

"Steve, your opinion?"

Steve looked among the crowd. His original team, the new Avengers, shared friends of his and Tony's. Knowing that they all were here for him, was warming up his heart.

"Sure, let's cut it!" Steve decided, hearing a cheer. "America's ass for all!"

As the cake was being sliced and passed to everyone, turning out to be filled with ice-cream, yum, Tony and Steve shared a slice and then shared a sweet kiss, before diving back into the party.

Tony watched Steve mingling with everyone, laughing with Bucky and Sam, and gobbling up chicken wings as if racing Thor who would eat more. Honestly, he didn't mind sharing the cake with everyone, as long as in the evening, the real thing would be all his to enjoy. And when Steve caught him looking at him, and sent him a bright and happy smile, Tony smiled back, already knowing their plans for the evening.

American Meals Eating places - Items You might not Know

Restaurants in Marina del Rey

If I were being a primary time customer from another region, and you advised me with regard to the popularity of american Relatives dining establishments, I might be impressed. There may be no these kinds of area where by I come from due to the fact you'll find no eating establishments that designate on their own as particularly household welcoming. It can be taken without any consideration that families will dine collectively in spots which can be differentiated by pricing.

Restaurants Marina del Rey

Worldwide eating patterns vary from enjoying cozy peasant food stuff in casual settings to connoisseur eating from the best establishments. The American Loved ones Restaurant strategy, on the other hand, is really a U.S. phenomenon that deserves an area within our college record books. Its origins, on the other hand, are mired someplace in a murky earlier.

Possibly the thought of an area exactly where the entire family can go to delight in home-style cooking originated when Mom obtained fatigued and required a break. It's feasible that the initially American spouse and children style cafe had its origins in German-Dutch region fare served on lengthy, heavily laden picnic design tables with bench seating. Whilst you can find similarities towards the American family restaurant in countries around the globe, almost nothing can particularly copy it.

Whenever we consider vintage American dining, a laid back, informal ambiance concerns thoughts with plastic covered booths and plastic tabletops, not to mention, you don't need to dress as many as go there. The foods is obvious and straightforward - like Mom's meatloaf or stew for evening meal - meat and potatoes along with the stuff of daily life we eat at your house regularly like hamburgers for lunch, and eggs over quick for breakfast. This sort of household restaurant remains immensely well-known while in the U.S., and you also can discover a number of in each smaller city across the land.

But there is certainly a little something new going on to classic American delicacies and anything new going on to the family members eating atmosphere. Despite the fact that some establishments carry on to focus on featuring regular menus, you will discover many now really showcasing connoisseur selections and featuring balanced eating choices.

Just one case in point of a area, home-style establishment in Virginia that exceeds expectations is usually a spot in which you can nonetheless obtain all of your old favorites. However, you can also get from a remarkably diverse menu such as Avocado Bruschetta as an appetizer (a blend of tomato avocado, garlic, onion and Parmesan cheese served with evenly toasted baguettes). Then you can find Chipotle Chicken Taco Salad (a confetti of rooster, tomatoes, avocado, purple onion, black beans and corn, drizzled with spicy dressing in the tortilla bowl). And for an entr�e, test Asparagus and Rooster Carbonara (heat pasta inside of a creamy Italian carbonara sauce). Sound like any American relatives restaurant you already know?

Exactly the same cafe offers gluten-free food items, which include breads, pastas, crackers, and croutons, in addition to other allergy-free things. This is the fantastic boon to the several people experiencing allergic reactions to foodstuff and who're attempting to find solutions to same-old, same-old, dull menus. This very same institution also functions vegetarian dishes.

So, even though the new, a bit upscale, connoisseur American family members cafe continues to be advertised as home-style cooking in a calming atmosphere in which you can stay for homemade ice cream and desserts, you can find a definite change. Now you can find alternatives.

There are not merely food stuff selections. Now you could select your environment. The old model loved ones favorite spot for brunch on Sunday could appear different now. Perhaps it really is in a renovated historic household that was once an ice cream parlor. Probably it's got a colonial d�cor, enjoyable carpeting and linen tablecloths. And there is even a whole new and even more concentrated emphasis on excellence in service.

Patronizing your preferred American model restaurant remains a wonderful solution to take pleasure in a meal out together with the family members and it truly is nonetheless the best acquire in city. The detail is, there are actually variations you might have skipped. There's a different seem to American spouse and children dining, a new edition, better foodstuff solutions, superior support, a designed- for- comfort and ease comforting environment in which you feel right at your home. And you simply would not really need to glance hard to find a single.

Carnaval

In Ecuador, Carnaval is celebrated by spraying each other with foam, similar to shaving cream in consistency, which comes in all colors and by getting each other wet. In some towns they put raw eggs on each other, and flour; in another town they smear mud on each other on the banks of the river.

It used to be that foreigners were the main targets for Cuencanos to get wet, but the city outlawed the practice of soaking strangers a few years back. However, expat friends have been hit by water balloons walking to work, and nearly had buckets of water dumped on them from balconies. Now, generally people celebrate with their families and get each other wet.

At Tomu and Jade’s preschool they celebrated by throwing confetti (picadillo) on each other & putting curly paper streamers (serpentina) around each others’ necks.

Everyone has Monday & Tuesday off from work, and almost everything is closed.

My friend Lorena invited us over for lunch on the Saturday of Carnaval. We had amazing food: sancocho (pork short ribs), potatoes with a peanut butter sauce, grilled chicken, hominy, a pea/corn salad, a green salad that I brought, fresh blackberry juice, rice, and I’m probably forgetting something. Her 2 kids, their partners, and her 3 grandkids were all there as well. It was her son Carlos’ birthday, so later we had cake, coffee, jello, and canelazos (a typical Ecuadorian alcoholic drink, like a hot toddy with cinnamon).

The kids sprayed each other with cariocas (colored foam), and Riki and I were there to observe until Lorena began to spray us as well! She didn’t take it easy on us, either. :) The foam stings if it gets in your eyes, which happened to Tomu. We actually didn’t get each other wet (outside with the hose) because it was pouring down rain all afternoon. I was relieved because I didn’t have another change of clothes.

We had a lovely time with Lorena—we felt like family, included in the family gathering. That was actually the first time we’ve been invited to lunch at an Ecuadorian’s house. Lunch is the big meal of the day here.

Lorena’s daughter, Maria Lorena, works for the government, and she told us that on Friday all of her employees were waiting for her when she walked out to her car, and they soaked her with the hose. Then she reciprocated, of course.

On Tuesday of Carnaval, Fabiola came and took Tomu and Scarlett to the park with her kids Favio & Jacob, to “play Carnaval”. Her kids had water guns, but they ended up just doing the foam because Tomu & Scarlett didn’t have water guns.

Homebrew Item: Belt of Chaotic Potions

NOTE: This has not been tested, I'm planning on changing the effects based on situations.

Item Description: A long leather belt, it can either be worn across the chest as a bandoleer belt, or crossed around the hips. The belt is covered in runes, a skilled magic user can possibly tell that these runes basically mean Chaos and Creation (transmutation). There are four pouches on the belt for potions, they can be slid up and down to position anywhere. In my game, the item was a gift and came with a set of instructions. If you wanted to, you could just have the belt already be full of water vials, and surprise the player after a long rest.

Rules: Obviously you can use this list for whatever, but here is the intended purpose. The Potion Belt has 4 spots for vials. Before a long rest, you put a vial filled with water in each of them. After the long rest, roll on this table 4 times, noting the order (1, 2, 3, 4) so when they go to use one you can keep track of which one it is. The player can attempt to identify the potion, using something like Arcana or maybe even a new skill. Describe the visual details (keep track of that, and hopefully the player keeps track too because they can use that knowledge to identify the potion in the future), smell, etc. I've roughed out this for identification. 1-5 - they have no idea what this potion might do 5-15 - they have a rough idea of if this potion is good or bad (drink or throw it at someone) 15-20 - they know what this potion does

Any vials filled with water can be used in the belt, if the vial is empty or filled with something other than water than nothing happens to that vial. Negative effects have a relevant save DC of 15 (I know there are some written, I came up with this general rule after), and the times in here are kind of arbitrary, make them last however long you think works. Some of them are meant to be thrown, some are meant to be consumed, as the player doesn't know what they do this can lead to some pretty fun results.Most of these are meant for fun, so play around with it based on what suits the situations.
