Mushroom Chocolates and Butterscotch's

Dose for Reshi mushrooms 
As a dietary supplement, take 2 gram 1 to 2 times daily. For best results, please consult your physician. Individual needs may vary.

Lion's Mane For use as a dietary supplement. Adults take 1 gram or 1/2 TSP per day.

Candy molds are 4x6 squares and hold 3 oz or 85 grams

The Reshi powder does not dissolve in the chocolate chips.
So will dissolve in coconut oil.
Need to determine how much coconut oil is needed to dissolve the powder.
Then make up the difference in chocolate chips.
Everything is done in a double boiler.

For Reshi

At 4 squares a day we need 6 days so 6 x (2x2) or 24 grams per mold or 48 for 2
Need to determine how much coconut oil is 
Pan is 212 g
Weigh out 48 grams of Reshi powder into something
Combine coconut oil and powder in just enough oil to incorporate the powder

pan+oil+powder = 350g
oil = 350 -212 - 48 = 88g
powder = 50g
oil = 88g

Need 160g to fill the 2 molds so
160-(88+50) = 22g of chocolate

OK too much oil.  Lets make it up for 4 candy molds
22g+160g = 282g.

It will taste better but use more chocolate 

That worked

For Lions Mane

For each mold we need 6g or LM Mushroom powder.
Lets try with an equal amount of coconut oil (needed 1.5 X and it was still stiff)
so 12g LMM and 18g oil and 120g of butterscotch chips

Next time try 2X oil

Hoop House in Colorado Springs

Image
This is a high tunnel we built for our water lily pond in Colorado Springs CO.  It was our 2nd attempt at covering this pond.  The first was only as large as the pond and had 2 supports resting on the pond floor.  This one uses a steel spine constructed of chain link fence pipe and electrical conduit.

Fruit Harvest 2021

Image
 The stella cherries are nearly ripe but can be eaten. After owning our home for over 15 years the mulberry tree has gifted us with a purple sidewalk.  So I tossed down a tarp and shook the tree.   Dropped 2 or so cups of fruit.   Made a smoothie with it.  Was a bit leery of stems but did not find any after blending.  Used the mulberries, ice,  small banana and enough milk to allow it to pour. Flavor is good.   Left the tarp in place.  If I get more I will try it without the banana.  Maybe runny but lets give it a try.  Deb started a truck load of flowers.  I have been busy creating raised bed planters for them.  So far have one out of rotted railroad ties and one from a huge tire with the top cut out.
