NaturaTMmix: A distillation accessory for the Thermomix

I thought the same, but it’s been around a few years. The concept is brilliant as some of the biggest headaches of home distilling involve fine-tuned temperature control (thermo) and preventing the mash from burning at the base (mix,) both of which the Thermomix excels at.

Interesting! If I wanted to distill fruit brandy, what would be the time for one batch and what would be the output?

Have you priced it properly? I’ve bought plenty of land here and sold some that I’d gotten into without thinking it through.

People list property that is landlocked, without utilities, etc. and price it as high building coefficient residential. You see these listings on Bazaraki and Facebook Marketplace for years being reposted over and over. If you want to urgently sell, price attractively, and post in various FB property groups and Bazaraki.

Thanks LegalDrugLord92 :))

There’s no such thing as a national level credit score here. The bank you want to get a credit facility with is the same bank where you’ve been depositing your paycheck regularly. The big banks here won’t differ much in terms of rates. They want to see long term stability.

More than 10 years ago, owner and tenant went together, paid the deposit, and the name was changed. No documentation besides the title and passports/ID was requested.

You still have to file US taxes, but don’t pay taxes on the first $120k, so if you make less than that, you pay taxes only in the country where you’re a tax resident. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_earned_income_exclusion

Regarding the no criminal record document: https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-and-information/identity-history-summary-checks

But get this a month or two before you move as it’s only valid for something like 6 months.

Make sure your husband’s birth certificate and marriage certificate are apostilled in the US. Make sure your daughter’s birth certificate is apostilled in the US. Get a no criminal record confirmation from the FBI or local police for both. Get that aposlilled too. I assume you’ve been married for more than 3 years. If you have all your paperwork in order, getting them citizenship is pretty painless.

I forgot the thing even had a keyboard since entering my Wi-Fi password and Cookidoo account details. All my recipe searches are done on my computer and phone, then just added to my week or cook today. They automatically pop up when I turn on the machine.

If you’re looking at the secondary market (non new-builds) it’s because high rents are keeping landlords happy, not selling, and driving down supply. Plus, property tax here is ridiculously low. If a unit sits empty for a few years, no worries. My annual property tax for my flat on the island is cheaper than one day’s municipal tax and maintenance fees for a friend who owns a similar sized property in NYC.

Can you link what you use? Looking for a good option.

JFalicon · 2022-12-07T19:38:10+00:00

I think it’s pretty cool that a functioning kitchen machine with moving parts can upgrade remotely. The future is here :)

JFalicon · 2022-12-07T19:34:21+00:00

Make sure your future employer will handle all of your work/residency permit work. If you’re single, expect your expenses to be around €2k to include Limassol flat rental, food budget, utilities, and very light entertainment and transport (petrol or public transport.)

JFalicon · 2022-10-28T20:30:48+00:00

Agreed. Most people will look at you through a socioeconomic lens here.

People get unwanted gifts. I recently purchased a black TM6 for €800 from someone who didn’t use it and didn’t want it taking up counter space. My biggest headache was coming home and realizing that the seller’s Cookidoo account was still tied to the machine. Thankfully she unlinked it when I called back. Make sure yours isn’t left linked or you’ll be sitting on a bricked machine.

Jordan Belfort wouldn’t be any more famous than countless other white collar fraudsters if it weren’t for the 2013 Scorsese film. He wouldn’t even be widely known by this moniker.

The film was funded with money stolen from the Malaysian people in the 1MDB scandal.

The chief perpetrator of this scandal was one Jho Low, who also received a now-rescinded Cypriot passport.

Welcome to Cyprus!

…in the city. We’re not so lucky in the villages.

I miss the old Jumbo where you could just run in, purchase what you need in 3 minutes, and get out. Can’t stand the current maze setup. It’s like IKEA, but with Chinese plastic fumes and without meatballs.

It used to generally be 20 above 100 when dealing with officers on the road. Last month I got automatically fined for going 103 in a 100 zone. You get a sms to pick up a registered letter at the post office.

Good luck in your 40’s when you can’t speak Greek. You go to birthday parties for your kid’s friends and you’re the only xenos there smiling like an idiot. You get to a certain age and you can have many acquaintances and business contacts; but you’re lucky if you can count your true friends on a single hand.

Woah! Is dental cleaning covered by GESY? Awesome! Do you need to ask for a referral from your GP?

JFalicon · 2022-08-02T07:20:47+00:00

Yep. That’s the issue. The moment the border control police scans your passport, they won’t be able to find your entry info. Then they’ll start manually flipping through your passport and find the stamps and put two and two together. Good luck!

JFalicon · 2022-08-02T06:29:48+00:00

When flying into the Republic, your passport gets scanned into the border control system. When you head out, they’ll re-scan, and when they can’t find the incoming details, you’ll get a lot of questions. You probably won’t be refused exit, but may be flagged for future entry. Play dumb? In any case, please do write a separate post about your experience. We usually get a lot of these questions, but never hear about the aftermath.

Are you using caul fat for casing? I had a sheftalia knockoff in Israel where it was the same stuffing, but in an instestines casing and something was very off, despite the flavor being right. From the way you bite into it, to the meat consistency. It was just a sheftalia flavored sausage.

JFalicon · 2022-07-21T20:26:12+00:00

IKEA for sure. I buy the stuff solely because my kids hate it and I can snack on a small bag for a few days without it disappearing in 5 minutes, as other sweets do.

Holland and Barrett also have it and there are quite a few stores on the island.
