    For those curious this includes raw goods. I’m surprised it’s relatively low, but the US is more of a service economy lately. Definition from the article:

    For those curious this includes raw goods. I’m surprised it’s relatively low, but the US is more of a service economy lately. Definition from the article:

    Merchandise imports are imports of physical goods, as recorded in international trade statistics. They cover goods brought into a country for consumption, further processing, or re-export.
    Imports are reported on a CIF basis (Cost, Insurance, and Freight), which means they include the cost of the goods, plus transportation and insurance costs required to deliver them to the importing country’s border.
    This category includes all goods entering a country, from raw materials and agricultural products to manufactured goods, machinery, and consumer products. It excludes services (like tourism or transport), financial flows, and goods that are only in transit.

    I’ve been baking a lot since it’s the winter. Lots of sourdough bread of course, but I also tried making this Delicate squash galette which was really yummy and worked great as a vegetarian dinner entree.

    I’ve found that ads, AI writing and bad Google search makes it’s really tough to find good recipes online these days. I really like King Arthur since their baked goods reliably work (even if you use cheap flour).

    Any vegetarian dinner entrees or recipe blogs you all would recommended for more general meals?

    Question for you, have you found good winter kale in the US? My friend in Germany likes making grünkohl, but my understanding is his kale is harvested after the winter frost so it is less bitter....

    I just finished Keeper over the holiday (yay $1 gamepass trial), and it’s classic Double Fine studios attention to detail. The game runs great and every moment is like a painting. A bit like Brutal Legend with the wild environments, but a completely different aesthetic.

    The start is a a bit of a slow walking simulator, but it starts throwing in some surprising variety and doesn’t overstay its welcome. It’s definitely an easy game, but the incredible art and moody soundtrack kept me engaged. I highly recommend it.
