 Lunches at conferences are hellish because

1. Many people in one room plus people waiting in line and people moving
2. Food that tastes odd in ways I can't describe. Why do roasted root vegetables always taste like that???
3. Eating without the people you know so you eat at a table with absolute strangers that I'm sure are lovely but I'm so nervous about points 1 and 2 that I can't conversation

The roasted root vegetables are probably because they were roasted in very generic vegetable oil. The only thing you really know about that is the specific viscosity and the alleged vegetable origins.

Lmao. It's just like, sour or something? Or like off somehow. Bad oil maybe

how is the conference tho?? the humans of laughing earth were there, Middle-Little is filling in at the farmer's market so they can all go tomorrow too.

It's super great! Not crowded at all which is not good for the conference but I like it. I went to two sessions of the seed conference and one on advanced blueberry pruning and one on winter storage of vegetables.

I saw your sister and chatted for a bit and I also saw Aaron a couple of times. We didn't talk and also he wasn't really making eye contact with people so I just let it go haha. I totally understand.

Oh yeah, I forget sometimes that I'd known Aaron for literally two years before we had a real conversation. It was so special when I realized that he would actually seek me out to talk to me. He likes running CSA pickup, and he talks to literally dozens of people there, but they're all people he knows and has chosen to talk to.

I hope there's good info to be had! I still haven't gone back and commented on your post about selective plant breeding, it went by at a bad time and I forgot to go back and look for it, but I'm super into that idea and cheering you on.

I ran into your BIL today but no talking time, we were on the move at the two or three points we passed by each other.

I'll be posting a lot more on the plant breeding :)
