I have the opposite problem. I get so many radishes we can never eat them all or give them away.

Is he on the list too?

I’m not sold on that. I am probably engineer over-generalizing rn, but I can totally see hairs growing as a result of directional growth rate differences and localized fluidity changes caused by the presence of defects in polycrystalline zinc exposed to an electron current.

There could also be a resonance phenomenon caused by waves in the current moving around imperfections the metal.

Maybe the metal atoms undergoing electron drift are guided by electric fields through the air to areas of differing voltage, a self-fulfilling short circuit.

I’m going to guess the challenge lies in isolating and observing these effects to figure out precisely what is going on.

I’ve interviewed at two mills in Arkansas. You basically can’t live near the mill, they are located in or near dead desolate towns where you’ll get stabbed for meth money. You have a long car commute to an overpriced McMansion in. Golf cart community.

It did! He is a healthy happy 10yo. I wondered at the time if the surgery was snake oil, but breastfeeding is important so we had to try.

This happened to our second as well, but sadly the surgery didn’t help.

With some effort I can even see the image in the small thumbnail on a magazine or webpage. I have not yet been able to see them negative where they go into the screen instead of coming out of it.

Pics to come tomorrow. This is a recipe I got from someone at r/smoking years ago and has been my go-to ever since. I usually brush half the pieces with maple and half I leave alone. The ones without maple have a smokier taste and are a tad crustier, a taste and texture I prefer for smoked salmon. I often brine overnight, rack the fish on the counter and use a fan to form a pellicle while the smoker is heating up. Takes roughly six hours to cook at the low temp smoke setting on my pellet grill.

Recipes: Thaw fillets, remove skin, cut the fillets lengthwise right down the middle and cut these strips into 7" or 8" lengths (usually 1/3 of the length of the fillet).

Brine: Put 1/2 quart of apple juice in a pot on the stove, bringing to low boil & then down to simmer. Add to this; 6 ounces of soy sauce 1/2 cup of non-iodized salt 1/2 cup of brown sugar 1/2 tsp of Garlic powder 1/2 tsp of Onion powder 1/2 tsp of Cayenne pepper 1/2 tsp of Dried Bay Leaf Flakes (or 2 or 3 fresh bay leaves)

Stir until salt is dissolved. Then add 1 1/2 quarts of water & ice to cool quickly.

Leave the Salmon pieces submerged in this brine for 4 hours (under 1/2") to 6 hours (over 1/2")

Dry the salmon and put on rack in fridge overnight to form a pellicle.

Smoke on low until internal temp reaches 145+. Brush with maple syrup once an hour to keep moist.

Edit: and here's a progress pic. Peppered on the left, maple on the right. Finished product looked very similar but a bit darker. Taste and texture were great. Funnily, the maple finished first despite getting brushed hourly.
