When my mother lived in Indonesia as a child, they had a Chinese man
walking around selling satay. Rumour had it that it wasn't made of
animal meat.

The banana pudding I know is allegedly a "Southern US" thing made with
vanilla pudding mix and mashed bananas with Vanilla Wafers lining the
pudding bowl. I've seen it but never actually tried it. If I brought
home bananas I'd simply eat bananas.

If you ever want to just give it a try, look for Kozy Shack tapioca
pudding in your fridge section of grocery store. It's pretty good and
fairly all natural ingredients too.
 
I buy one every few years. It's decent, just not something that I think
about often. (just added it to my grocery list though)

don't have any of those on hand.
 
at the moment the point is moot since she changed her
mind and we are just going to melt chocolate and dip
the bananas instead.
 
give it five minutes and it can change again.

uh, i didn't ask her to buy them, we already had some
green ones that were getting ripe enough, but for some
reason she thought to buy more. i've told her in the
past that she's buying too many, i can only eat one a
day and she might not eat any at all. we don't need
15 bananas. *SMH*
 
for me four a week is plenty.
 
not going to be making pudding now though, she changed
her mind.

it doesn't have any real flavor, it's just little lumps
like little bits of cooked pasta, but, well, pasta has
more flavor.

fry flour in oil is a common thickener. also called a
roux.

for chocolate or vanilla pudding with corn starch i'd
not put the butter in as you can't really taste it plus
i don't want the extra salt. Mom will put butter in
things because she really likes butter. i mean to the
point of putting butter on crackers before she puts
pate' on them or putting butter on a peanut butter
sandwich. uhg. no thanks! too much for me.

This is when you don't even drive to work.
And you brag about paying zero for gasoline. Idiot.
I buy real gas. Costs me $100 for about 5 months.
I don't drive much either.
My electric bill is usually $30-something per month.

My guess is that the sweet spot for batteries in electric cars in the future will be 100 to 150 kWh. The cost of "filling" up such a battery is easy to calculate. Just multiply the capacity by your electric company's cost per kW. Our cost per kW is around 32 cents so 100 kw of electricity would be 32 dollars. Electric cars these days will use around 27 kW for every 100 miles traveled.

i don't normally go anywhere's at all and i am quite happy
with that. i've always been a homebody.
 
not that i haven't travelled, but those were back when my
body didn't mind camping or sleeping in the car (i found out
that i actually sleep in the car better than camping or at
hotels). once i got here and have all my stuff here i'm
very content to be at home, gardens, reading, the internet,
library not too far away. once or twice a month go out for
errands and shopping. that's about it for me. Mom runs
around more visiting some of her friends.

i got 21+yrs out of the Honda Civic but it was starting to
have issues from always being stored outside and not driven
much. mice. ick. rusting in places, needed a paint job.
would have cost me about $3k to fix it up again, so instead
i sold it for $1100. not bad for a car that cost me $13.5k
to begin with. the engine was about 140,000 miles and in
great condition. the guy who bought it was a mechanic and
could fix all the stuff wrong with it so he was just happy
it ran. when i went to start it up as soon as it started
he said he'd take it.
 
it was a fun car to drive for what it was. we spent a
lot of time on the road for some years driving all over
the country and up into Canada. but the past five years
it had mostly been sitting and turned into a mouse hotel.
that was nasty.

And don't forget that the users of "free" electricity to power their vehicles are also not paying any fuel surcharges. these are used to maintain our highway infrastructure:
 
https://www.irtba.org/GasTax
 
"Where Does Your Gas Tax Go?
 
The only revenue source for road and bridge improvements is the Motor Fuel Tax (MFT), commonly referred to as the gas tax.
 
The federal gas tax hasn't been raised since 1993. Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) revenue and fees are calculated based on gallons sold, which means as the price of gas goes up and down the MFT remains constant. Regardless of whether or not you are paying $20.00 per gallon or $4.00 per gallon, the Road Fund is receiving the same amount of funding from the MFT. Combined state and federal gas taxes equals approximately 37.4 cents per gallon. This includes state (19 cents) and federal (18.4 cents), as well as associated fees. In addition to motor fuel taxes, residents pay a combination of local and state sales tax when they purchase a gallon of gas. Sales taxes are based on the purchase price so as gas prices increase, sales tax revenues also increase. Chicago residents pay sales taxes that go to the city, the county, the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) and the State at a combined sales tax rate of 10.25 percent. The Department of Transportation's Conditions and Performance report estimates all levels of government would need to spend $105 billion per year to maintain and improve the condition of roads and bridges. New or increased revenue sources are vital to fund our nation's and state's infrastructure needs..."

Not a problem.... $10 per hour to park and free electricity.

I have no reason to doubt that. It would be just one more example of
your inability to manage finance responsibly. Your idiocy is not
something to be bragging about publicly.

i think you've broken your brain with that reach.
 
if i have an electric car i can be sure i'd be paying for
the charging of it.
 
all the charging stations i've seen charge fees.

I hate painted woodwork. I'm still cursing the previous owner who painted
over the stained door and window casings (but not the baseboard). If
that's the same one who tore up the shoe molding to install carpeting,
he's on my shit list twice.
