You know how you learn something from someone else, and it’s basically a theory in your head, because you’ve never seen it happen in the real world? Like when you teach a child that the stove is hot, but they don’t think about it until they accidentally touch it. Then they learn experientially to stay away from the stove.

I learned something new this week. I learned it as head knowledge years ago as something that ancient civilizations would do to damage other cultures, but this week I really learned it. After you are done making homemade ice cream, don’t pour the rock salt/ice mixture out on the grass! It will kill the grass deader than dead. We tried to go out and pick up the rock salt that was lying on the grass, but enough of it had leached into the ground to sterilize it. Anybody know how to unsterilize ground?
