These tariffs seem weirdly, specifically punitive.Michael Leddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547732736861224886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-399345369999669222019-10-05T06:27:11.538-05:002019-10-05T06:27:11.538-05:00I'm with you on Scotch, as that's somethin...I'm with you on Scotch, as that's something that certainly doesn't have a good local alternative. Irish Whiskey, though, is unaffected by tariffs and is also very nice.Charles Céleste Hutchinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18123138871494922485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-1907773775034893372019-10-04T13:07:48.576-05:002019-10-04T13:07:48.576-05:00You have a point — all our choices are implicated ...You have a point — all our choices are implicated in ever-spiraling problems. I can be happy with domestic coffee, but having only recently re-acquired a taste for it, I’d hate to give up Scotch.Michael Leddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547732736861224886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-41483203693397349542019-10-04T08:30:48.864-05:002019-10-04T08:30:48.864-05:00I feel like the low cost of german-roasted coffee ...I feel like the low cost of german-roasted coffee is hiding an extremely high carbon footprint. If you live on the east coast, getting stuff from europe via boat is pretty ok, but most of this stuff is made at roughly equal quality in california, so if you're in the midwest or further, more local is lower carbon.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, Trump's trade wars are a nightmare, but I really try not to be long-distance foods.Charles Céleste Hutchinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18123138871494922485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-6225990339179725562019-10-03T16:19:22.907-05:002019-10-03T16:19:22.907-05:00“Nesoi” sounds to me like a dish from a Japanese r...“Nesoi” sounds to me like a dish from a Japanese restaurant.

Perhaps soon we'll find "molluscs nesoi, prepared or preserved" on a restaurant menu. (At 25% more, of course.)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485410374923842372noreply@blogger.com
