To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

pumpkin bread with pumpkin seed streusel from The Good Book of Southern Baking is delish, but—it made way too much batter. it spilled over horribly in the oven. I hid the messiness of the loaf with a coffee glaze. next time, I’ll make some muffins and a pumpkin loaf! #baking #cookbooks

The weird thing abt the Bo French scandal is while people lambaste his gutter racism, they DON'T point out his attack on UT was basically a demand that less qualified white people be admitted over Latinos and Asians -- a demand for affirmative action for white people.
