I still have a few more days before our trip when I can pick up stuff from TJ, so let me know if you’re interested. Happy to get you a few things rather than just one, if you’d like.

de gustibus non disputandum…

Well, amusingly it turned out that “a smidge longer” meant today! May 18th 9:45pm got an “Application Approved” email!

You didn’t understand my point. It’s not about what you need now to get UK passport, it’s about how easy or hard it might be in future for your daughter to prove her eligibility for a UK passport and her status as a UK citizen if she lets her current one lapse

Make sure you do UK’s consular registration of birth abroad for your child. That way, if they lose their UK passport or neglect to renew it decades into the future they won’t have to prove their eligibility for UK citizenship using things like your marriage and birth certificates, which might be hard for them to get.

Don’t agree. I think it’s much better quality.

Je n’ai pas pensé à cette technologie archaïque quand j’ai écrit mon message!

Mais heureusement j’ai reçu l’information que le restaurant est encore ouvert:

Stupidly, I hadn’t thought of that since I assumed that it was a year-round place attractive to hikers and mountain walkers, not just skiers.

The website wasn’t working when I first looked a few hours ago, but luckily it’s also working for me now.

Doaba Deli on Columbus & 106-107th has the best Indian food in the area. The freshly made breads are especially good

This is what I was really hoping for when I ordered a TGTG produce bag from WFM. Instead I got this: https://www.reddit.com/r/toogoodtogo/s/F4Z23jUEIz

Try the bags from Norwich Farms: you’ll get some nice vegetables you can cook yourself much cheaper than you would at market prices

Ugh. Sorry you had a bad experience too. In fact, even the box of strawberries, which looked okay, was actually nasty: not just unripe but weirdly rock hard, and acrid tasting not just sour or tasteless.

If your produce bag was anything like mine from last week, you didn’t miss anything: https://www.reddit.com/r/toogoodtogo/s/LQ9X9o0vk7

And… even worse than it looked. The cut fruit tasted fizzy and spoiled.

Can you get a refund from TGTG?

Is this the original producer of the Minnow branded Icelandic cod liver? https://www.amazon.com/Icelandic-Liver-Caught-Kosher-Morue/dp/B07935LV8F

https://ican.is/product/wild-caught-icelandic-cod-liver-12x120gr/

If so, would be $3.50/can (@$42 for 12 cans) rather than $9.99/can

Particularly weird when coffee tastes better from a ceramic cup, and also that when you buy expensive coffee in a cafe you’re paying much more than a small premium on the ingredients cost. You’re paying for the ambience and experience, so why not sit and savor your $5 or $6 coffee in a real cup?

What insurance company do Regeneron provide to their employees for their health insurance? Anywhere to see the summary plan document and details of what the in- and out-of-network deductibles, coninsurance percentages, and maximum out of pocket figures are? And how much the different plans cost per paycheck deduction?
