I love your new art pieces! Thanks for sharing and having a cheery chat! Take care Ilona! I dont think we have a car tax in Canada.

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

All cars pay a road tax, except for some old vintage cars. The money is supposed to go towards the upkeep of the roads. You wouldn't think it does going by amount of potholes we have to negotiate.

[@TermiteVideo]

Lucky you Irene

[@jennifermillardX]

I have a tip for your Broccoli to keep it longer. I cut a small sliver off the bottom and stand it in a dish of water in the fridge and it keeps it from going soft and discoloured. Last us such a long time and just cut off what we will use. I change the water every couple of days like you would with Flowers X Nice to hear from you again X We too are looking forward to some Car Camping very soon X

Spring is here and I'm getting ready to start sowing a load of vegetable seeds.

Good idea, Sean. I have a terrible slug problem here. I gave up growing vegetables.

[@seanjamescameron]

@@meanqueensuperscrimper8908 Collect the slugs and put them into a bucket of rain water, leave them for a month then strain the water and use this to spray around your garden. The smell sends out a warning to other slugs, no more slugs.

Am wondering if you sell your art, I love the lollipop trees.

goodmorning Ilona. The ingrediënts for your lunch stew looks delicious. Especially the cheese saus. Can you please describe how to make this stew?

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

Good morning. Chop up an assortment of vegetables, can be anything you have. Put in pan, add water, not too much because vegetables will shrink when cooking. Add herbs and spices of your choice. Bring to the boil, simmer for a few minutes (10) Make up half a packet of cheese sauce mix in a mug with cold water. Add to the pan, simmer for 2 more minutes, and it is done. Big pan makes 3 - 4 portions.

What is the difference between car tax and insurance.?

[@jjudy5869]

Insurance - if you are involved in a wreck, insurance takes care of some of the repairs and medical treatment for any injures (USA). car tax - the fee you pay to the local government for the privilege of operating that particular vehicle. (USA calls it personal property tax [basically anything with wheels tax])

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

In the UK, car tax and insurance are both legal requirements, along with an MOT certificate which is given out annually when the car is checked by a garage. The tax is supposed to go into a pot to pay for the upkeep of the roads. The insurance is to cover costs in case of an accident or theft of the car.

[@jjudy5869]

@@meanqueensuperscrimper8908 In the USA it depends on where you live, if you need your vehicle inspected. In Arizona, it's Phoenix and Tucson Metro Areas, in the rest of the state you don't need them. Being a law-abiding citizen can get complicated.
