One of the main values of Muff is the idea of ​​Less waste. We actively participate in sustainable food production & consumption. We have developed a process in the cycle “from farm to table and from table to farm”. We collect & compost waste from the kitchen, creatively use whole parts of plants, trying to find new tasty ideas for dishes from leftovers…
Stale bread is always a great challenge! Today we bland stale focaccia, cooked rice, parsley, nutritional yeast and some tasty oil and formed and fried in oil… Super tasty!

How do you use stale bread? Let’s share some tips!

🖌️ 🎨 Déjà, j'avais fait quelques tweaks graphiques pour faire penser aux personnes utilisant l'ordinateur que c'était un truc moderne, sexy, etc. comme le contenant (ps. je n'ai jamais acheté un produit Apple).

Je me suis lancé dans la confection de sacs bananes, l'idée c'est d'avoir quelque chose d'à peu près étanche pour des documents ou petit matériel, gsm, magnéto..
C'est en partie recyclé upcyclé, tissus de seconde main, bâches plastiques type magasin suédois.. :)

repouet apprécié, après quelques prototypes je vais lancer une petite production prochainement.

Talking with the folks in the local #vintage / #retrocomputing community, they clued me in that the #ThinkPad #RAID is a steaming pile of 💩 and not worth the trouble.

🤷 Oh well. Thanks for cluing me in

So I swapped out the two testing #NVMe drives I was using and reinstalled the original sticks - to have #windoz10 demanding for the #bitlocker recovery key. 🤦‍♂️

Well, time to wipe & install #windoz11 then.

Install went fine, only 4 rando #drivers to find for all #devices to be recognized and working.

Using my #CTT scripts to install the majority of applications, then to remove the #spyware #bloatware and other garbage #micro$oft added to #windows11

Then migrate my #data from my other ThinkPad. Welcome to my #sunday #funday

Well *that* was fun!

Transmission fluid was very dark brown, definitely due for a change. We let the Jeep sit overnight, so the torque converter and cooler also partially drained - better to get as much out as possible. Pulled the valve body and solenoid pack, and replaced the solenoid pack with the modern improved design (the black electrical connector indicates the old failure-prone design; the newer version has a white connector). For fun, we also opened up the old solenoid pack!

New filters, pan gasket, and 8 quarts of transmission fluid rounded everything off. We actually need a bit more fluid, about another 1-1.5 quarts, but I felt comfortable taking it for a test drive. Shifts are noticeably crisper and there's no longer hesitation, so that's good! Bled the brakes again too and the pedal feel is *much* better.

We just need to replace the heater core hose clamps and the center console, and I can start daily driving this!

The 02 Grand Cherokee got new front brakes yesterday! They look similar, but the new brakes have a better design which evens out rotor wear and reduces the risk of warpage. Of course I also pulled out the front lift plates too, so now the truck is level and handles *much* better.

Of course, we have a new problem - even after bleeding, the pedal is still extremely soft. My hope is that we just need to bleed it again, but it's also possible there's air in the ABS module. The fix for that involves a trip to the dealership so they can use a scan tool to trigger an ABS module bleed, and that's gonna be expensive. However, there is a "shade tree" fix:

Slam on the brakes while on a slick surface.

Good thing we're supposed to get 8" of snow today!

The last major issue is the transmission, and I'll start on that as soon as the brakes are done. Really need to get this Jeep finished soon, before I'm priced out of auto parts by these asinine tarriffs.
