You have 41 down as "succulent". Do you need the correct name? If so, it's Sempervivum or House Leek.

Sempervivum or House Leek.
Oh, I forgot we also call them Hen and Chicks!
Yeah, not sure who came up with that.
Thanks Gouvy! [emoji4]
I don't know what it is, but am very curious. I saw several... don't know if it's part of a sea creature, or a type of sea vegetable? Anyone seen them before? FundyBrian ?
Thanks Jason.
I think the 7 Plus is a big step up from my 5S (the zoom and portrait mode are fantastic) but not sure it would make that big a difference coming from the 6S. My battery lasts a long time though, which is great. I'm totally used to the size now... the screen doesn't even seem "big" any more. I miss being able to stick it in my front jeans pocket without fear it'll pop out, or the breast pocket of my denim jacket, but it's a small price to pay.
Phone calls?? What are those?
Found out it's a Knobbed Whelk egg case, also known as Mermaid's Necklace.It does look like a shed skin but of a clam worm or some other sand worm. They can get to be a good size.

I looked up the worms in my seashore field guides. We have some here but not as many as a bit further south. The Annelida are the segmented worms and most of the marine varieties belong to the class Polychaeta, which basically means many hairs, because most have short stiff bristles on either side of the body. 20cm seems a common size but some are larger. Some live stationary lives in burrows or tubes and come to the surface to find food. Others hide under rocks and move around to look for food. The segments are all the same, except in diameter. Some will die off after laying their eggs and there may be many dead ones around all at once which will catch the attention of sea birds.

Mermaid's Necklace is what I'll go with.
Now that milk looks wonderful. And the pulp is useful too. Marvellous.View attachment 92241
...and then I made a nice face scrub with the leftover almond pulp + coconut oil + lavender essential oil.

The milk is so delicious. I had to force myself not to guzzle it all down. It really makes me happy to make things like this!!Now that milk looks wonderful. And the pulp is useful too. Marvellous.

I have been saying "someday" too, and now I'm all "why'd you wait so long??" It takes literally 10-15 minutes (after soaking almonds overnight) - soooo easy. The drawback that I'm seeing is a) organic raw almonds are super expensive, and b) it's such a waste of almond meal/pulp as I can't possibly use it all so it just gets tossed. Feels wasteful, and the fiber is good for you. Maybe I just won't make it all the time..... I'm torn.Well done on both! I've switched to Almond milk but haven't tried making my own. Someday maybe...

Next time I might dry out the pulp and use it to bake something...
p.s. I've had my nutmilk bag for several years...
Only one cup!Looks fabulous - how many almonds for that much milk?
And/or DIY instructions?
Here's one I found/saved... it's like an almond hummus:don't forget recipes for the pulp !
Yes, raw (best if organic) almonds with skin on. I think a very fine sieve would work... a big one if possible. But there's something satisfying about squeezing and squeezing the milk out of the bag.Wow that looks fantastic. Definitely give that a go. 'Raw almonds' = skin on?
And the bag is just a muslin tie bag. Suppose you could use a sieve as well.
Thank you! Off to check your leftover recipe
Yes, it says the pulp can be frozen indefinitely. But my freezer isn't that large so if I froze all of my pulp I'd soon have a freezer full of it, LOL. If I still had my garden and compost pile it wouldn't be an issue....I use a lot of almonds for breakfast. Couldn't you freeze the pulp?
