Unión Carbide. I was very young when that made headlines.

I think the narrative is about how Boeing used to be the gold standard, but with money grabs for years the check is now coming due - hopefully before its too late & there is a crash.

Subaru surprised me…everything else was as you wrote

This made me laugh. Alot.

Tomato, cucumber & onion salad, sautéed turkey tenderloins, baby potatoes…summer is in full swing

It is strange, there are some operations that have 2 cash registers even. You get awaybwith it until you dont, and if you get caught its a heavy, heavy fine, penalties and interest.

Our accountant actually told us our first year we were reporting too much… but we have to play it as close to legit as possible because we are the ones who are still guests in this country.

Great movie!

Nonono not tax evasion…thats illegal This is pure and simple tax avoidance

It’s literally expected and accounted for.

It’s true we have more options digitally than in the US, but for day to day around town cash is best. Most services (repairs and such) offer the choice: cash, or with invoice and pay 20% tax. Unless you are using the service for your business and can deduct it, your best option is cash because.

In the US I was most exclusive debit card for gas and daily expenses, cash for anything else (esp. saving to buy gifts) but moving to EU changed that. Mostly cash, but there has been a change in our business where it used to be about 50/50 and skewed more to cash, after 2 years dealing with covid its about 75/25.

Also wanted to note my name is not Dave.

That’s it!

I do one shop/prep for the week, and as i do I prep some for busier weeks into the freezer: lasagna, burritos, stir fry currently occupy space. If I make a roast for just the two of us, 2 portions go into the frezer and we will have also 2 more for leftovers later in the week.

Well stocked pantry helps: minced garlic & parsley in oil (store in fridge) mince ginger, garlic, scallion (I freeze these on a sheet pan/paper, then put in a bag in the freezer tonuse when needed for stir fry/curries) stocks & bullions for easy soups/braise marinades for meats/chix/pork

[when shopping, buy extra for the freezer: throw some meat in marinade, freeze flat in a bag, so when you finish cooking the meal for dinner today, you pull the meat to defrost for tomorrow dinner]

I don’t think he’s angry enough. Cowboy Regan scared the shit out of everyone…Black would Make Everyone But America Shit Again (black trucker cap with MEBASA)

Neat little story. Good for him getting away with it for so long.

Mt. Rainier. Absolutely stunning “when it’s out” as we used to say (because of the usial cloud cover).
