Welcome to #Checkin for Tuesday Wednesday, October 25, 2022!

Believe it or not, after today, it is once again the end of my turn hosting the #Checkin forum. @Rod Mesa is next up. Thank you all for checking in, and providing such a wealth of insights from places far and wide. But before signing off, there are two topics I'm pose to you: 1. what's happening in your corner of the world? 2. since today is #pumpkin day, what comes to mind when you think of pumpkins? 😄😄😄

Tis the season. Culture/history fans (especially devotees of the Northern lands) may enjoy this. Food fans too

When People Carved Turnips Instead of Pumpkins for Halloween

The first Jack O'Lanterns were not pumpkins but carved "ghost turnips" and other root vegetables, made to celebrate the ancient pagan festival of Samhain.

Here’s some very good info about preparing #pumpkin and it’s value, by French man Lokmane #Benaicha, who’s been studying in #China for over a decade. Thank you Bruce Bentley to bringing it to my attention!

It’s about treating #COUGH. There’s another recipe with #ginger, #turnip etc as well.

Medicinal recipes for cough due to #cold wind
The cough may be due to the pathogenic cold wind (to be distinguished from the hot wind with sore throat), which causes the Qi (energy / vital breath) of the lungs to stagnate, preventing it from diffusing the protective Qi from the lungs. Here are two simple recipes to treat coughing due to cold wind.
Pumpkin has a warming nature, is sweet in flavor, humidifies the lungs and strengthens Qi (energy / vital breath), transforms phlegm, evacuates pus, drives out worms and detoxifies and is it excellent for coughs and asthma.

Ingredients:
250 grams of pumpkin
15 grams honey

Preparation: boil the pumpkin until it becomes a puree, let cool and add the honey.
Consume 50 grams on an empty stomach, morning, noon and evening

Ginger frees the surface and promotes sweating, it warms the lungs and stops coughing, it can evacuate excess heat as well as pathogenic microbes and cold energy.
"navet in french" daikon contains a lot of proteins, lipids and calcium, it has a good function of strengthening the digestion and stops cough. It can also be used for dry sore throat due to cough and heat of the lungs, hoarse voice, etc.

Ingredients:
500 grams of white turnip (daikon) of
30 grams of ginger
30 grams of honey

Preparation: remove the skins and cut the daikon and ginger into pieces, put everything in a blender and add the honey at the end.

#Pumpkin es un port para usar el mítico #PalmOS en #Windows 10 (y en el futuro en Linux)

enter image description here

El usuario bautizado como pmig96, un amante del sistema operativo Palm OS y de los ordenadores antiguos ha relatado cómo ha llevado a cabo un proyecto que ha desarrollado una versión funcional de Pumpkin OS funcionando en la plataforma Windows (aunque solo con unas pocas aplicaciones Palm OS). Pumpkin es cómo este usuario denomina al port de Palm OS dentro de la arquitectura x64. Un adelanto: por el momento es una distribución sólo binaria, pero el código fuente completo será liberado en el futuro.

Hay tres aplicaciones incluidas: MemoPad, MineHunt y Vexed. MineHunt es un binario estándar de Palm OS PRC de 68K distribuido con los primeros dispositivos Palm. Vexed es un freeware de terceros que también es una aplicación estándar de 68K. Si los instalas en un dispositivo real o en un emulador tradicional, se ejecutarán normalmente. MemoPad tiene características diferentes: fue compilado desde el código fuente a la arquitectura nativa x64.

A stroll around the back #garden. My spouse is the person responsible for most of this bounty.

The #tomatoes have appreciated the hot conditions of the #summer and are bearing #flowers and #fruit.

#Allium #flowers appear in a variety of #colours and cluster sizes.

#Strawberries have already produced #fruit but are still #flowering too.

Meanwhile, it is too early for the #pumpkin patch to produce #squashes yet but the flowers are also edible. We've had just a few in dishes. You can also see #dill flowers here and as the subject in the subsequent #photograph.

There are a few ornamental flowers too which also help to attract #pollinators.

The #grapes are also ripening on the #vine and we've already enjoyed some of the #VineLeaves for dinner.

The #RunnerBeans continues to #flower even though it has borne #fruit.

The #apples are getting bigger too.

Finally, the #lettuce plants are growing tall and producing seeds for next year.
