Did I make homemade kiwi honey vanilla ice cream to go in-between banana dark chocolate chip sourdough cookies made with coconut oil?

YES, I DID!

Dark chocolate chip banana sourdough cookies made with reduced sugar, whole wheat flour, and coconut oil.

Sounds fancy, right? But really... I had a brown banana and some sourdough discard I needed to use. Coconut oil and flour, we purchase in bulk. These cost almost nothing to make and are suitable for diverse dietary requirements, vegans included. (We are not vegan, but my kids have allergies I have to consider).

But I'm not done yet! (Hint: it isn't going to stay vegan).

Follow to see what I do next!!

I transplanted this plant almost 3 years ago as one of my first experiments in electroculture. It was a healthy, green baby aloe.

I found the top of an old lamp, essentially a steel arch painted to look brass, but a real brass k**b on top, coming to a point. I placed a neodymium magnet on both ends of the horseshoe of the arch and placed it in the clay pot. The plant initially grew a little, but quickly lost its' green and turned a whitish pink. It was under a pink grow light, so I moved it to a window for natural sunlight.

I think I took the magnets off the arch after about 6 months of very slow growth and the plant getting steadily more purple. It stayed the same size for over a year.

Then I removed the arch entirely.

A few months later, (no arch, no magnets), it produces these little babies that are even more purple and pink than it is. It is outside on totally natural light and rainwater at this point.

What do you think is going on here?
