I just got some Carhartt “wool” socks for Christmas. They are pilling like crazy after 1-2 wears/washes. They’re less than half wool, so that might be the issue.
I do WFH and I don’t wear shoes in the house, but that’s literally why I wanted wool socks.
Centerba. It means hundred grasses in Italian. It tastes like grain alcohol infused with whatever they cut down in a field. Maybe a hint of mint too? It’s fluorescent green now because food coloring is cheaper than bright green glass apparently.

I added about 1/4 cup of lemon juice, turned my back for 30 seconds after a stir and it turned it an almost milky-off white. Eventually it...
America’s test kitchen adds baking soda to lower the pH of meat to get it to brown more. Perhaps you did the opposite and the acid lightened and/or prevented browning?
I mainly just save my onion, carrot, celery, and garlic scraps. It’s a safe combination. I often add these to chicken bones but it’s not necessary if you’re doing a vegetable centric soup

[question] for the chemistry types- making chicken soup. Why did lemon juice turn the light brown chicken stock almost white?
