The technique and white beans part are taken from the vegan holiday book by @isachandra.bsky.social pepperoni recipe. but I do my own spice blend, usually divide the recipe and do a couple different flavors

FOR THE PEPPERONIS:

1½ cup cooked or canned pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup vegetable broth, purchased or homemade (page 203)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
1½ cups vital wheat gluten
1½ cup nutritional yeast flakes
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1½ teaspoons anise seeds, crushed
1½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
Lots of freshly ground black pepper

thank you for sharing your photos and an interest in describing them! I sadly don't know whom to credit for this chart but by using it I have found that our puget sound is solidly glaucous territory (I think your gull in flight is a juvenile of the same species, rather than herring) 🤓

A photo of a laminated flow chart titled Adult Gull Dichotomous Key showing distinguishing features for each of the 6 gulls found in... North America I think? Don't remember the source unfortunately

Seven chinooks flying south over western side of puget sound at 11 this morning. anyone know what that's about?

I've grown that one (Black Krim) but slicers are tough in my conditions and peppers and cucumbers get the greenhouse space. San Marzano ALWAYS, and I've added Blush which tastes amazing. Can't wait to try Magic Bullet next year!

Photo from last season showing a tray of mostly ripe red San Marzano paste tomatoes on a tray behind fully ripe yellow (and peach-streaked) Blush tomatoes. Both are elongated, meaty fruits with small seed cavities so they dry well, which is how all of these were processed.

🌱 there are eyes everywhere for those with the cathedrals—no, wait...

a close up photo of a siberian kale leaf with magenta veins and bright wavy green and blue leaves in the bright sun. there are some water droplets sitting on the surface of the leaf and they're spherical and reflecting light, kinda like eyes.

Wow jealous of your freeze dryer, that's exciting! Once they're dry and sealed they can also be frozen for maximum storage life

a photo of jars of seeds on a frosty glass freezer shelf. in mismatched jars we have: cascadia sugar snap peas, hooker's blue indian dent corn, and white gaucho bush beans

and depending on your climate they will self-sow readily and/or grow back from tubers. I do both and everyone LOVES them, people and pollinators

i have pretty much given up on moschatas at 47.5 N after this year, but this butternut is trying desperately to finish the race and prove me wrong! we've had a few light frosts already... any guess on whether she'll make it to maturity? 🌱

A photo of an elongated, lightly striped green squash growing on a vine. its tendrils and some mulch surrounding the fruit lying horizontally. taken 4 weeks ago.

the same solitary fruit, now much yellower and less striped. the vine leaves are droopy and discolored due to wildly inappropriate conditions for a warm-weather crop. this photo taken yesterday, 12 Nov.

halušky 🌱@haleysoc· Nov 12

Macro you say! Well!! I tend to be more concerned with who's eating the crops but EVERYTHING rewards close looking and crawling around

Close-ish shot of an orangey red moth with black stripes on a curly green and purple kale leaf.

A miniscule green pacific tree frog balanced like a loaf on the rolled galvanized steel edge of a water trough. The water is a soupy algae green but the frog is glowing brilliantly in the sun.

A crawdad, aka cray fish (possibly signal cray fish species?) in some silty water between granite rocks. Everything is the same grayish brown except for fluffy moss overhanging the pond and the rusty red of the thorax on Jeremy. That's the crawdad's name.

I love our clouds! especially the last one you posted. And if it's at all sunny golden hour is spectacular that's true

A portrait oriented photo of a needle-strewn path lined with huge fir trees. In the distance is a weathered timber barn and the sun is rising between the trees in the top left. A deranged-looking dog is in mid air, sprinting toward the camera from the bottom of the path, but mostly obscured by large sword ferns. He's not actually deranged just making his fast-running face.

Sometimes a treat is just a cabbage worm 🌱

A photo of my hand in the foreground with a cabbage worm on my thumb. There's an out-of-focus white dog face in the background.

A photo of the same worm and the same dog, but now the dog is in focus instead of the worm, and the dog is doing his Please Let That Be For Me face.

A photo of dog at the moment he inhaled the worm, no chewing needed. The dog is a white and brindle American bully mutt named Bridger.

A photo of my now-empty thumb 👍, with Bridger's gaze locked fully on my hand as he stands and makes solicitous tippy tap wet paw prints on the driveway.

If you can bear seeing just one more chili on your 🌱 skyline, please regard "Fish" showing some of her saucy stripes 🤩

A few green chili peppers with paler longitudinal stripes. They're still growing on the plant, which also has variegated leaves. We've picked a few green, but I intend to let most ripen for a red fermented sauce.

A different photo of the same plant showing more of the variegated foliage as well as a thicc developing fruit with pronounced green/light striping.
Fish is one of a very small (single digit?) number of varieties with this mutation, which is heritable and not a result of stress/epigenetics.

A wider shot of the full plant. Many green fruit in all stages of development can be seen amongst leaves that are mostly typical pepper green, but here and there are clusters of beautifully streaked white and green leaves.
This plant was overwintered indoors after growing in 2023 and is bearing much more fruit than last year. I love her very much 🥹

Grumpy the greenhouse frog 🌱 hopes you all have a weekend! Not any particular kind of weekend, just have one and maybe do it over there somewhere and not so close? Thanks.

A closeup of the same green pacific tree frog from a different day, again sporting an unimpressed expression. This time the frog is sitting on a cucumber and between the fruit, the frog, and the background, everything is very very very green.

just found out about #InsectThursday and I got a good one this week! wish their babies would leave my brassicas alone, but hard to get too mad at someone who looks like this.

Closeup of Pieris rapae butterfly resting on my thumb. It's known as a small white for good reason, but I've always known them as cabbage moths.

another day, another harvest! I don't look forward to winter, but I love this time of year when some of the crops start coming in big time. 4kg of carrots from a plastic barrel planter in the driveway 🌱

Orange carrots of all sizes with their tops cut off laid out on some packing paper

A single orange carrot with its glorious greens and soil still attached sitting atop the container of dirt from whence it was just pulled. Behind it is the wooden popsicle stick marker reading CARROTS Napoli, behind that is a jumble of other plants, and the early morning sun is hitting everything from an angle.

Left foreground: pile of carrot greens just cut off.
Right foreground: gray plastic basket overflowing with orange carrots.
Background: a row of assorted plant containers, the largest and most central of which is a black resin "whiskey barrel" style pot that grew these carrots.
Honorable mention: yellow marigolds in an adjacent pot.
