But you are leaving a surface on the pan when seasoning carbon steel, a thin polymer. Also wdym treating it like cast iron? AFAIK their non-stickness works in the same way. (I definitely treat them the same and it seems to work)

graphite looks promising but is still in early days

Definitely not sunburn. I think its some infection or pest, though I’m not sure what, probably pays to separate it from other orchids. Good luck, I hope it recovers

Mines simple: a small desert bowl.

• Super easy way to make fancy steam poached eggs - pour a thin layer of water on the bottom of a pot and place small bowls on top (Coat each bowl with oil beforehand). crack an egg into each bowl, turn on heat and place lid on. Cook until white is firm but yoke runny. Serve on bread with avacado or butter
• place on top of butter to keep fresh
• cookie cutter! (Good for other doughs too)
• mini terrarium for micro greens (if bowl is glass)
• your own unique measuring unit that no-one else will understand
• upside down as a stand for raising other dishes up
• 1 person baking vessel - bake things in it
• scooper
• lid for jar
• pot for herbs

someone has been trying and it looks like it has potential if it keeps on being developed: https://github.com/Fancy-Mumble/FancyMumble

My favourite sandwich ingredient would have to be avacado. Though I realise its unobtainable for most people, Im lucky to grow 2 fruiting tree’s so get em for free.

fresh baked bread with a drizzle of olive oil. Toped with avacado, homegrown olives tomato and lettuce (and some very old Edam if you feel like it). But don’t forget to add some homemade Rocoto chilli sauce somewhere along the way, adding some sweet tropical spice.

Unfortunately avacados are seasonal. We get them for about half the year. For the other half I must sit and wait, patiently biding my time. Waiting for the sun to rise on a day when the avacados will ripen once more.

Bananas do and will loose their bottom leaves as they grow, so no surprises there.

As you probably know the black flaky stuff on the outside is normal sap, not mildew. As far as u can see there is only mildew present where the frond meats the trunk.

As there is only a small amount of mildew and no signs of rot I don’t think the mildew caused the leaf falling off (rather just natural growth). If it gets more chronic mildew it may cause issues in the future. We grow our bannanas outside and powdery mildew between old fronds is a given, and not a concern, however indoor plants are a lot more prone to disease so it may be a worry.

P.s. its not powdery mildew (mildew is white/grey). Its probably just some kinda mold that settled in the crack left by the leaf falling off. I would only be concerned if it is present between young fronds or starts rotting the trunk.

At first I thought: ooooh! I wanna learn go and raylib. So I looked at the repo, then realised I know basically nothing. I’ll have another look tomorrow, to try again and hopefully learn a bit more. However I think I’m a long way away from being able to contribute anything, but would like to contribute some day. Good luck though!

Sorry :( here’s a baby fern to hopefully make you happier

Yep, the only exception I can think of is if its a ladybird, cos then I find the opposite to be true

That’s not the main reason to not buy apple products lol
