my granddad just called me to tell me how big his cauliflowers are growing and it was so cute theyre “TWICE as big as the ones you get in the shop”

i told my granddad this post has 3,500 notes and he said ‘who are they? do i know them?’ he wanted me to list everyone and see if he knew anyone

If you don’t reblog cauliflower granddad, then you’re just a mean person.

I hope you find the shittiest person, you fall in love with them, they fuck you over, and then you die alone. I'd love that

If you’re reading this, if there’s air in your lungs on this November day, then there is still hope for you. Your story is still going. And maybe some things are true for all of us. Perhaps we all relate to pain. Perhaps we all relate to fear and loss and questions. And perhaps we all deserve to be honest, all deserve whatever help we need. Our stories are all so many things: Heavy and light. Beautiful and difficult. Hopeful and uncertain. But our stories aren’t finished yet. There is still time, for things to heal and change and grow. There is still time to be surprised. We are still going, you and I. We are stories still going.

“At -25C/-13F, soap bubble mixtures freeze faster than they pop, making for some very fascinating effects!”

“However, frozen bubbles are still very fragile creatures, so I’ve experimented with different recipes to create a durable bubble wall that won’t pop in the slightest breeze: dish soap for the bubbling, corn syrup to thicken the wall, and sugar to help crystallization. I let the mixture chill in the freezer to help speed up the freezing once outside.”

MIXTURE INGREDIENTS FOR YOUR EXPERIMENTING PLEASURE 

- 200ml warm water - 35ml corn syrup - 35ml dish soap - 2tbs sugar - chill in the freezer

“One other piece of advice … dress warm! It’s cold out there!”

Thank you to Chris Ratzlaff for sharing his awesome experiment!
