Peanut butter is ok if you put it into checked luggage when flying. Produce and meat are most likely to be dumped. Even if said produce is from the country you’re entering.
Cheese and packaged processed meat depends on a wide variety of factors. Honey if pasteurized.
Thanks for the rules summary.
Some of the rules make sense, others seem rather arbitrary. That’s why years ago I stopped bringing most foods on international flights unless I intended to eat them in air.
I can see if you live right on the border, it would be more worthwhile to learn the rules. As someone who basically only takes 12+ hour international flights, I don’t see the point.
Produce is because there is the potential for disease that could affect agriculture. Usually anything commercially packaged is ok!
I was just like “did I get paid today, because it’s Friday but I don’t remember which Friday”
Ouch. I spent a good portion of today thinking it was Wednesday, Friday is much worse.
Fancy (expensive) wooden puzzle shop is having a 50% off sale, so I decided to pick a fancy new puzzle for myself. Not something I do a lot, most of my puzzles come from the thrift store and either get donated back when I’m done or get sent to recycling for being missing multiple pieces.
So I spent a meeting clicking around fancy wooden puzzles, chose the one I wanted, and…can’t purchase, because despite the fact they’ve shipped to me before, their website keeps insisting that said address is invalid.
Pinged their help desk and all they’ve been able to say is that maybe that puzzle in question is out of stock, which really doesn’t explain the address issue (short of some really crappy coding, anyway).
Pretty sure I’m not getting a fancy puzzle.
I don’t have enough powdered sugar for the frosting I want to make (or enough other ingredients for my second choice). If I’m going to be making cake all the time I need to keep more powdered sugar in the house. Or get comfortable making my own…
Blitz normal sugar in a blender with a bit of cornstarch!
I know the theory… 
My work just pushed an Active Shooter training to all of us 
It’s a video and I hate it, and I really really hate that my kid has to do drills for this in school.
They just said “Ideally you’ll be in a familiar location, such as work or school, so you know where to find exits or hiding places.” How in any way is that ideal? Gah. The fact that someone has made a standardized training about this is so terrible.
I had to do that training too. I got nothing productive done for the rest of the day. Then we had an in person training too a while later, I wish I had opted out of the in person one. I was very on edge the entire time even though it was just sitting in a conference room watching a couple of example videos and talking.
I have to do a workplace violence prevention workshop (which includes active shooter information) every single year and I hate it. At least mine is an online module that we can do on our own time. I usually let the videos play without actually watching them.
Ours is one of those videos that you have to interact with - push “next”, answer a quiz question, find all the things you could push up against a door as a barricade. If I didn’t have to do anything active I would absolutely just let it play on mute.
Our emergency training emphasized that you should always look around you for an escape route whenever you go someplace new.
I feel bad about not signing up to sub, but I just can’t do it.
We spend a whole horrible day at school doing tabletop scenarios for active shooters. It’s horrible. And then we had to do it at church and I had to plan an escape route for the Sunday school kids. It was also horrible.
oops posted in wrong thread 
I just realized that I threw away my peeler with veggie scraps. And trash day was yesterday 
RIP peeler I have owned since college
My boss made me break bad news to a client because he’s on vacation, but he’s blowing up my slack so if he’s on slack then why couldn’t he send the email???
Someone come fix my cat he is wandering around the house howling disconsolately
It’s hard to be a kitty sometimes!
