Wow, I bought a Picasso Melon & today cut it - it may be the tastiest melon I've ever had ... soft and so juicy, and very sweet! It was uniformly good w/ no spoilage. The outside remained firm from the time I bought it a few days ago. Its pretty stripes are complemented by uniform matte white flesh.

I love @caroljadams.bsky.social's work ever since I carefully read her 'The Sexual Politics of Meat' caroljadams.com/spom-the-book ... and then had the pleasure of meeting and talking with her about it at Tom Regan's Compassionate Living Festival years ago.

Can high school & college students find a rule of thumb for converting btwn hourly rate and annual salary? What is the Rule of 72? Can you model buying power if inflation is more than rate of wage growth? Can middle and elem school students estimate cost of living in their town? #mtbos #iteachmath

My favorite #onion is the Maui but I've not found it out of Hawaii. I love Vidalias but my 2nd fav is Walla Walla www.sweetonions.org. I'm soon making a quick Oregon visit; they get Walla Wallas not just in WA but also OR, so I'll bring some back. Till then: onion rings to use up my Vidalias! #vegan

One of my favorite songs by the #Beatles is their 1962 “Ask Me Why” - I also love Smokie Robinson and this song was inspired by his 1961 “What’s so Good About Goodbye”. www.beatlesbible.com/songs/ask-me...

By Dilip Barman - What I like about modern dance is its freshness and unpredictability. Often grounded in other forms like ballet or hip hop, it adds elements that often surprise.

This was perhaps the best eggplant I’ve ever had! I put on the eggplant a bit of toom.com garlic dip then panko bread crumbs and air fried I think at 360 degF for about 10m. I made a simple ‘cheese’ sauce with cashew, nutritional , garlic, salt, pepper, and water. Yummy!! #vegan

I never knew the term "termial" and question mark as a suffix as I learned from @howiehua.bsky.social ! So 4! = 4 factorial = multiplying 4 factors = 4x3x2x1 = 24, and 4? = 4 termial = 4+3+2+1 = 10, better known as a Triangle Number. #mtbos #iteachmath #mathNotation
