Compare that to our average of $7.37 per dozen in California, and a new career in the underground egg game starts to look interesting. In Mexico, however, the price of a kilogram of eggs - which equates to more than a dozen jumbo eggs in American terms - is currently running between 31 and 50 pesos, or $1.59 to $2.79 in U.S. Due to the egg shortage this continues to create, obviously, their cost has skyrocketed. By the end of last year, the illness had killed more than 43 million egg-laying hens.

From turkey shortages this past Thanksgiving to what's now apparently turning into eggs being sold shadily in little plastic baggies, the effects of this gnarly virus are extraordinary.Īccording to the U.S. The guilty party? The avian flu, still wreaking fresh havoc on all birdkind as the days tick by without any real solution.

It’s a dish built on simplicity and necessity to provide with minimal means. The hotdish is Minnesota soul food and can be found in the heart of Minneapolis, in the burbs where they tend to eat lots of cake, way up north, and even in the surrounding flyover states. And to infinity and beyond the hotdish stayed true to its roots with little to no variation from the four main ingredients.Īnd Grandma made it with a touch of cream And twenty years later tater tots hit the market, replacing the macaroni and proving to be the cherry on top the sundae providing a crispy potato crunch to the dish. In 1934 Campbell’s released condensed cream soup, adding a necessary flavor profile to the dish. Indeed, the original recipe from the Grace Lutheran Ladies Aid Cookbook calling for two pounds hamburger, elbow macaroni, and peas.Īs the years continued the hotdish saw minor improvements including the addition of a crucial binding agent. The hotdish at its beginning in 1930 was nothing more than a starch, meat, and vegetables. The cookbook was compiled by the patrons of the Grace Lutheran Church in Mankato, MN and distributed throughout the community. Finding its origins in the Upper Midwest in and around Minnesota, the first printed recipe of the hotdish was found in the Grace Lutheran Ladies Aid Cookbook. More often than not the origins of a recipe are often lost or misconstrued due to many wanting the recognition, but there is no question to where the hotdish came from. It serves as a tasty centerpiece to any gathering, a warm and filling meal for when the sun is outdone by darkness, and above all else, is so much more than a generic casserole. It has progressed from generation to generation and through decades of the harshest winters. The hotdish is, by all means, a classic from the Midwest that is often replicated but never duplicated, and always a dish that grandma makes better. The classics are classics for a reason and when it comes to recipes older than the internet it’s always important to stick to the basics and the roots they derive from. No! Well, they certainly shouldn’t have a strange aftertaste or a gritty mouthfeel.

Decorate each with a few pearls of fondant. (Freeze at this point, if necessary.)ĭecorate and Assemble the Cupcakes: Using a small spatula, frost the tops of the cooled cup cakes with the buttercream. Bake until puffed and firm in the center and light golden brown on top, about 20 to 25 minutes. Pour batter into cupcake paper-lined muffin tins filling them 3/4 full. Sift together the dry ingredients then mix into the butter mixture alternating with the milk. Gradually add the vanilla and eggs and mix in well. In a mixer with a whip attachment, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Make the Cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Re-warm or let sit out to warm up to room temperature to use. When it's feeling somewhat cooled but still a little warm, start adding the butter a few pieces at a time until you have a smooth, whipped butter cream. When the sugar syrup is has reached the softball stage, turn the mixer up to high and slowly pour the syrup down the side of the mixer. Meanwhile, in a standing mixer fitted with the whip attachment, whip the egg whites to soft peaks and hold them on low speed until the sugar is ready. Bring the sugar to a boil over high heat and continue cooking to the "softball" stage (234 degrees F.). Run your finger through the center making an X to allow the water to seep into the sugar if it hasn't already. Make the White Buttercream: Put the sugar in a saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer and pour the water down the walls of the pan to moisten the sugar without letting sugar crystals wash up on the walls of the pan. Month-long ocean vacay anyone? Talk about leaving the world behind. Wow! What a unique experience, you might be saving up a bit to take a drip – but I know there’s some adventure seekers out there reading this and already planning just when and how they’re going to stay. Think you have what it takes to spend a weekend in the middle of nowhere? The rooms and property are still pretty straight-up, retaining their original character from 1964.when staying in the middle of the Atlantic, these are some of the finest accommodations you'll come across. (Also, don't dive in the ocean from here - it's not safe.) Unless you want to dive in the ocean and catch your breakfast 'Cast Away' style, naturally the Frying Pan operates as a bed and breakfast as well. It is not an ideal vacation spot for someone who is accustomed to the finer things in life, so candy-asses need not apply.Getting to the tower isn't such an easy feat though, accessed by boat or helicopter, a 'four day adventure package' will cost you around $600.but it's the experience and story that make it worth it, right? There's also the all inclusive helicopter package that will transport you to-and-from the Frying Pan with accommodations included. They have many volunteers continually working on it. Guests are reminded that this is an ongoing restoration project and will remain so for several years. The 85-foot-high deck allows visitors to see all the activity in the water below. Located in only 50 feet of water, Neal says the view from above is astounding. You have unhindered views of the sunrise and sunset, there is no light pollution, so stargazing is amazing and you have a birds-eye view of the sea life below. What it lacks in amenities, the Frying Pan Tower makes up for with its beauty and history. While there you can also try some fishing or diving. You can relax on the deck with this view: There’s also a skeet range, a Brunswick pool table (original to the station), and a driving range stocked with ocean-friendly biodegradable golf balls. The Frying Pan Tower has room for up to fourteen guests and includes 5,000 square feet of living space, with kitchens, office space, fully equipped bathrooms and spectacular 360-degree views. The subsequent sealed bid auction revealed that Neal as the sole bidder and became the proud owner of the rustic platform! Sale price: $85,000.Īfter more than a year of repairs (and repairs are still going on, mind you), Neal’s tower is open for business. However, a provision restricting examination until after the purchase was completed led to a forfeiture of the auction. The initial sale saw pricing exceed $500,000. government was auctioning off a massive light and weather station. In May 2010, Richard Neal, a software engineer from Mint Hill, NC learned that the U.S. It’s located about 34 miles off the coast of Bald Head Island, NC, (lat & lon 33☂9′N 77☃5′W), where it was used as a US Coast Guard light tower to help mariners navigate Frying Pan Shoals for almost 40 years. The Frying Pan was constructed in 1964, in the style of an off-shore oil rig. Nevertheless, this place is fascinating and if you too are looking to do something a little odd, and if you have an adventurous spirt, this may be the place for you. It is not the easiest place to get to, and it’s not your typical getaway vacation. I found out about this place a few years back, but have yet to go. Lately, I’ve been yearning to find some type of adventure, an interesting place to visit, something new and different.

In contrast, the mode of instruction did not appear to relate to teachers’ considerations of leaving or retiring. Finally, compared to teachers who report a 0% chance of getting COVID-19, those who think they have a 50% chance are 10 percentage points more likely to have considered leaving or retiring. Having to change instruction mode at least once during the year is associated with a 13-percentage-point higher probability of having considered leaving or retiring. In addition to approaching retirement age (being 55 or older), having to change instruction modes and health concerns were also significant predictors of the probability of considering leaving or retiring. This change was due to a reduction in the percentage of teachers reporting a zero probability of leaving and a corresponding increase in the percentage reporting chances above 50%. Teachers’ reported probability of leaving their current state or the profession within the next five years also increased from 24% on average in March of 2020 to 30% in March 2021. In contrast, in March 2021, 69% of teachers reported they expected to work as a teacher until retirement, while 9% reported they did not expect to, and 22% said they did not know. In March 2020, 74% of teachers reported that they expected to work as a teacher until retirement, while 9% said they did not expect to, and 16% did not know. We find that, during the pandemic, teachers have become less certain that they would work a full career in the classroom. To see how teachers’ attitudes may have changed through the pandemic, we compare the March 2021 data to responses to a pre-pandemic survey of 5,464 teachers administered mid-February to mid-March 2020. A large majority of teachers in our sample (71%) reported they had to switch instructional models at least once during the 2020-2021 school year, and the average teacher switched models twice. About 30% of teachers in our sample reported teaching fully remote for the majority of the school year, 49% reported that they taught in a hybrid model, and 21% reported teaching fully in person. We study data from 1,045 teachers from a survey administered in March 2021. In our research brief, we use new survey data from the nationally representative RAND American Teacher Panel (ATP) to provide additional insights into these issues. A RAND survey, fielded in early January 2021, found that nearly one-quarter of teachers indicated a desire to leave their jobs at the end of the school year, compared with an average national turnover rate of 16% pre-pandemic according to NCES data. macOS and Linux: sftp is a command-line utility bundled with OpenSSH, a suite of command-line SSH tools integrated with macOS (accessible from the Terminal) and most Linux operating systems.įor help with sftp, see the SFTP (1) manual page.Download and install PuTTY for free from the PuTTY download page.įor help with PSFTP, see Using PSFTP to transfer files securely in the PuTTY User Manual.

We find that the supply chain effects of import tariffs account for a substantial portion of the 2018-2019 slowdown in US exports. The importance of these supply chains means that tariffs on imports can, in turn, hurt export performance. (2019) find that when firms discussed tariffs and policy uncertainty on earnings calls in recent years, the primary concern cited was their supply chains. These cross-border supply linkages are a potentially important channel for measuring the impact of import tariffs, because they can amplify shocks to trade costs and demand across locations (Almunia et al. Lower trade costs and new communications technology (Baldwin 2016) mean that global supply chains are now a pervasive feature of world trade (Hummels et al. Since then, however, globalisation has transformed the structure of world trade. By August of 2019, $290 billion of US imports – about 12% of the total – were subject to an average tariff increase of 24 percentage points.1 The scale of these tariffs against specific products and countries, and the subsequent retaliation, has drawn comparisons to the Depression-era tariff wars of the 1930s.2
