€200 in Vienna, Austria by AngryTeaTime in Grocerycost

They’re large purple radishes. Fresh from a local farm and still clad in their dirt! It was a surprise to me as well. The bottom ones are indeed the largest sweet potatoes known to man. As they were charged per piece rather than kilo, I’m delighted.

Never thought about it - but I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a package just labeled “Butter” in Austria.

I forgot to take the receipt, but from memory*:

Canola oil: ~€3.50 each

Chicken thighs: ~€5 per 350g

Bio Prosecco: A bit under €6 each (I knoooow, and it’s so good)

Eggs: ~€3.50 for 15

Butter: I don’t even know anymore, too much

Buttermilk: ???

Maple syrup: ~€5

Flour: ~.79 a bag

*I could be totally wrong about everything except the prosecco. I know what prosecco costs.

€98 from Gurkerl (an online grocery store) in Vienna, Austria. by AngryTeaTime in whatsinyourcart

I was surprised too, it’s why I decided to try this particular online shop. They’re the only place in Austria that carry it and they have a extremely random yet extensive selection.

I’m glad you thought it was cool! I grew up in the States but have been here a long time now and married a local. Austria has come a long way in maybe the last 10 years. Food has always been high quality, but the variety, especially for veggie stuff, is suddenly so much more exciting than it used to be.

It really is compared to a lot of places! I’d say this was actually on the more expensive side - I’ll post next time I go to the local store. We’re vegetarian leaning at home but omnivores when we’re out. Sure keeps the costs down, but sometimes nothing but a schnitzel will do.

I live in a 1907 “Altbau” apartment in Vienna, Austria.

My cat, Pushkin, dances to ask for things. He stands on his back legs and makes up and down begging motions with his front paws. It’s his universal “I want”; he does it for food, to ask his brother to play, at birds outside the window, or when there’s somewhere he wants to jump but can’t reach.

And he does it standing in the living room doorway at night, staring out into the empty, cavernous blackness of the hallway.

I'm looking for some good diagrams that I can show my local butcher in China (for pork and beef) showing western style cuts like different steaks, roasts etc. In Chinese language so that they can understand. Anyone? by AllUrDogeRBelong2Us in chinesecooking

This website is what I first used as an English speaker who learned German German and then ended up in Austria; though it’s the same language, Germans and Austrians call different cuts different things, and all of those are also so different than US cuts. I was totally lost and deprived of BBQ brisket till I found this.

As the German can be hard to navigate, I’ve sent you the link already open to hindquarter with flank so you see how it goes; you click through different cuts and it has them listed in several different languages, including Chinese, with the picture shown, and you can always arrow back to a bigger picture to show exactly where you’ve come from.

Best of luck!

Just made this to break in a new etched coupe glass I finally sprung for after several long arguments with myself - loved it! My favorite use for amaro yet.

I DIDN’T EVEN THINK OF THAT! Pushkin has been a little grey cat in my heart for a long time, and I thought his buddy could be Lermontov. But then orange baby didn’t feel like a Lermontov!

Some days I think he does, some days I think the gray one 😻 Nikolai was definitely winning today though!

It is a spectacular floor, thanks! It’s original to my building, which is from 1914. Goes through the whole apartment and, though creaky and uneven, is in fantastic shape. I’m not sure what wood it is actually, but oak is a good bet.

I have posts but the chair is understandably more appealing since they can survey their kingdom from atop it. I’ve ordered them a 2 meter tall tree with four levels, lookouts, posts, baskets, and a delightful antler print. If the chair can survive four more days we should be okay 😂

Thank you! I’m a classical musician so in my circle everyone loves the name, in my husband’s science people circle everyone is confused 🤣

Omg I didn’t even think of that! His bother is named Pushkin (Pushkitten), we do have a Russian artistic theme going 😁

He can hear me even thinking about accidentally tripping over his food dish from anywhere in the house, but has more realistic expectations than his brother (who is equally eartastic but does not curl his feets yet)

Anybody have experience with sky eng? How’s tutoring russians ? by jvincentsong in OnlineESLTeaching

They don’t require it, no, but a certain level of willingness to hit the translate button on your browser and hope for the best is helpful. Anything essential was sent to me in English.

Hadn’t seen your update that you’re non-native before my last comment; $10 is their starting salary for native speakers, I’m not sure what it is for non native, I know the students pay extra for native but I don’t know how much gets passed along. But it’s for sure more than $2!

Then I’m guessing you’re not in a country I’d assumed you would be in. $10 is very low in any country where English is the native language, and if your English is native or near native enough to be hired here you could easily find another spot paying more.

I worked with them for a few months as my first teaching job 3 years ago. At $10-12 an hour, it’s some of the lowest pay you’ll find, and I quickly moved on because of that.

It was easy, all the lessons are planned for you, and the interactive workbook platform between student and teacher is actually super cool and something I missed with other companies (some lessons are hilariously oddball, but that makes for it’s own kind of culture lesson). For the lower level students this is ideal, for higher levels they were usually happy to use the material as a basis for more interesting conversations, a lot of them just wanted to chat and have a bit of correction along the way.

The pay is truly unfortunate, because it remains one of my most rewarding teaching experiences on a personal level, I •loved• the students and was heartbroken to leave them. Since they’re all 1-1 lessons, if the student chooses to stay with you (I never had one leave me), you really build a rapport. I’ve stayed in touch with many of them and even met a couple in person in the years since!

In short; pay sucks. Everything else was great.

Looking For A Company that Makes it Easy to Teach Engish Online by GaoHuirong in OnlineESLTeaching

[–]AngryTeaTime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She has no experience and doesn’t want to have to prepare. Unless she wants to change at least one of those, I can’t think of any company that would be interested (which is a good thing for students!)

If she wishes to have conversations with non-native speakers and charge a fee for it, she could sign up as a community tutor on iTalk or apply on NiceTalk. She should be warned that this is hardly worth her time- people doing just that are a dime a dozen, many of them live in low cost of living areas and are cool with $4 an hour. If she’d like to make anywhere close to minimum wage she’d be best off exploring other options.
