Shopping for a Billionaire

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1) at the moment, yes - paid for online shopping for the kids and they paid me back in cash. I normally only have about €20 in cash with me, for emergencies. I just don't get out that much. 😉

2) kind of - he comes from money, she doesn't. Influences both, but he's very down to earth and she's embarrassed by her parents' antics.

TheSpineView That book sounds interesting. Stacked ❤️📚 4d

1) anything but read/watch the news - in most cases that means I'll be reading and/or crafting/cooking/baking/walking/...

2) something light, a reread probably. In my case either one or The Chronicles of St Mary's, The Rivers of London, or The Stranger Times series. Or a RomCom like the tagged.

TheSpineView Thanks for playing along and have a wonderful day! 1mo

Lynnsoprano I hear you! We have given up watching the evening news. 1mo

julesG @Lynnsoprano Frees up some time for reading too. 😉 1mo

Haven't done a #Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

Thanks for the tag, @The_Penniless_Author

1) no, and I'm not sure I'd want any. But had I jumped on that bandwagon earlier 🤔🤔🤔 I have a few teeny tiny bits of gold that I panned from a river years ago, they must be worth a few cents. 🤣🤣

2) Shopping for a Billionaire series (tagged is the first book in the series) - 🤣🌶️💘

Want to play? @rockpools @ozma.of.oz @CarolynM

TheSpineView Never been panning for gold bit sounds like fun! Thanks for playing 2y

julesG @TheSpineView The area where I come from has interesting natural resources. Apart from a bit of silver and gold there's lots of uranium (luckily not the enriched/dangerous stuff). Gold panning is a tourist thing, which needs explaining and hence perfect for a summer job. 😉 Unfortunately not enough gold in the small rivers to get rich. 2y

rockpools Your tagged book sounds really fun! And panning for gold is way more exciting than Bitcoin! I must have read something amazing with a rich MC - but all I can think of right now is Pride and Prejudice, which is obviously great, but not remotely original. 2y

julesG @rockpools It was original when it was first published. And it might be the inspiration for lots of contemporary romances 2y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Anyone else find it strange when a book character shares your name?

Andrew65, TheSpineView

TheSpineView On when the character seems too much like myself. 2y

Andrew65 Yes I find it strange too. Well done 👏👏👏 2y

ShananigansReads @TheSpineView I once found a book where the character was just like me and named Shannon. Even my bestie said so. It was crazy. 2y

This morning #JulesGsMaking roast peppers. Why anyone would do that in the oven is beyond me, I like to char the peppers on the hob.

Listening to this hilarious romcom. Easy listening material when doing chores.

TheBookHippie I do it this way too!!!! 👩🏽‍🍳🙌🏻 6y

julesG @TheBookHippie I knew I'm not the only one who loves to play with fire. 😁 6y

TheBookHippie @julesG 🤣🤣 I don‘t understand how the oven chars it 🤷🏽‍♀️must use fire 🤣🤣it tastes better for recipes. 6y

julesG @TheBookHippie Well, leave the peppers in the oven for about an hour and they'll char. But, you are right, it tastes better "flame grilled". 6y

ravenlee I‘ve only done this in the oven - but I‘ve been using a gas stove for just the last year, so before that I didn‘t have a choice. 6y

julesG @ravenlee I'm very glad that I still have a gas stove. 6y

ravenlee I‘m very happy to have one now. I really hated my last range, a glass-top electric with an oven that often burned things at low settings. Now I‘m in trouble if we have to move again and the new house doesn‘t have a gas stove! 6y

julesG I've had one of those glass-top electric stoves. I hated the waste of energy. I've been living in this flat for 15 years. Gas stove was the only option here, still is. But my landlord has plans of getting rid of the gas lines. I'll fight him, as will 13 other families in the building. Propane gas is an option, but it would mean a safety hazard (gas bottle in the flat) and I'd need to get different burner nozzles. Might be an option for you, though 6y

julesG @ravenlee Or just one gas hob fired with a propane bottle? I have one induction glass hob. I use it for anything that needs to cook/boil on low heat for ages. 6y

julesG @ravenlee oh, forgot to tag you two comments up. 6y

ravenlee If we have to move again a gas stove would be on my list of must-haves, or as an option to replace an electric if need be. We‘re likely to stay in one place for at least another two years, so I won‘t worry about it until I have to! 6y

mrp27 Yes! My aunt used to roast chili like this for salsa. 6y
