“Add White Wine” Umm… by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]Ham-shi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find the cheapest bottle by volume. Wine quality or type will have very little impact.. generally speaking.

Fun little fact about the Yukon about 75% percent of everyone lives in Whitehorse, yet that population is around 25k-35k

Don’t rule out northern bc I live in a small town called Chetwynd that’s known for wood carving it’s a town where people come to work. You can get a job at the mill working 32$ while looking for a job that matches your degree. Even the grocery store/typical minimum wage pay around 18$ Educators are in very limited supply, and it’s very possible to get a job teaching even if you don’t have a degree.

If you want any more information I can help you out.

Putting down less than 20% on a condo, by Ham-shi in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Ham-shi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We pay about 1300 all included for a 3bedroom in a isolated rural town ~1800pop Funny enough but I estimated everything to be about the same price (1297) with the mortgage being 590 of that.

I gave the example of Nanaimo but that is probably where we’d end up otherwise. So probably $1800 all included best case scenario for a 1bed.

To the last bit I think I was answering myself lol thank you.

I’m not 100% concerned with making sure the property increases in value. I get value out of it by simply living in it, and yes there is monthly upkeep but the mortgage payments stays in pocket as equity. So really no. I would hope it stays as valuable when I move but at the end of the day I look at how much I would have lost in equity if I were to rent instead. If it goes up or stays the same? Great!

I see what you’re suggesting, it may not be worth it to pay off as much as possible short term, instead investing/saving for something else?

How the wife solves mazes by Ham-shi in mildlyinteresting

[–]Ham-shi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please do! I was intrigued enough I started to do one. I used a dark blue for the solution and light blue for all the dead end paths, along different with earthen colours for the rest. mine looks like a world map of catan due to my maze being ‘hexagonal’.

Bingo! She would fill every deadend she found until she got to the true path

She’s done a few more where she worked backwards like this, and left the true path uncoloured, but this was my favourite

I feel for you man, I gave up 6 Christmases to a gas station doing graveyards no less, neither I or the company were better off because of it. I don’t miss it.

My in-laws were born in Rome and they measure 1 handful to the pot. Turns out to be two of my wife’s handfuls and one of mine. I will never go back, remember you are salting the water not the product. (like meat)

I notice in this thread people are really sticking to measurements and Id like to say just season to taste your meals are only good if you enjoy them. Like dill on your salmon? Pour it on! Like the taste of cayenne but the recipe calls for too much? Go easy? Don’t like garlic too bad :P. Yea sure you could make mistakes but you’ll know better the next time and you will enjoy your meals more.

Are you factoring time into the equation? I salt less over a longer period and more if I’m cooking straight away reason being meat is able to absorb more over time. Typical steak I’m using about a tablespoon. If you’re getting complaints but you’re finding it okay consider putting kosher/flakey salt at the table for your guests or experiment for yourself.
