I think there is Kosher butter. No? dcarch

I don't think there is lead based black pigment. Flat black paint is always used in solar ovens for food. In any case flat black will soon be glossy from greasy fingers. dcarch

One of the factors, how salty is it? dcarch

Nothing you do can kill off ants. Vast areas in Texas and in Florida were under very deep water for a long time. Do you think there will be no more ants in those areas? dcarch

Some of them eat caterpillars. dcarch

Massive aerial insect spraying is being done to prevent mosquitoes in all the states effected by Irma. Guess how healthy that is to all the bees and to all the other beneficial insects. Guess how that will impact the delicate enviro/eco balance. dcarch

Beekeeping, just like urban chicken, is a code violation in most communities. dcarch

Chef designed? I don't think chefs can design any machine. Good sales pitch. Have you noticed that all quality cordless power tools are now powered by brushless motors? I believe very soon blenders will follow. I want a blender with a small but powerful motor that runs super fast and very quiet, also long lasting. That would be a brushless motor powered blender. I want a blender with better blade steel that can stay sharp. I want a blender that can have supercapacitors built in to give incredible burst of instant power beyond the power limit of 1800 watts of your typical outlet. I want a blender with a variable speed control from 0 to max RPM. (40,000 RPM would be nice, reversible would be nice, ) I do not want an "Intelligent" machine! Not until I get some strange brain deceased that causes most of my brain cells to die off. dcarch

Malabar spinach is a wonderful vegetable. It is also a very beautiful decorative plant in your garden. dcarch

Kind of like my goji berry plant. dcarch

Bees forage 2 to 6 miles from hives. Bees can also make honey from sugar water. They will not operate for too long. They will be sued for $$$ if someone is allergic to bee stings. Liability lawyers love situations like this. dcarch

Difficult to say what's behind this ridiculous action: "---------------However it seems possible that cheese ban is itself a tit-for-tat response to an earlier move by the UK. On April 30, the day before British cheese exports to China were blocked, the UK adopted an EU law that bans the sale of unlicensed herbal products, in particular those used for Chinese herbal medicine.------" dcarch
