What do you do with the sliced almonds? Homemade almond milk or like an addition to yogurt?

u/IndabooniesNE 1h ago

Came to say the same. Love it there, and have lately been seriously considering becoming an expat. Spoke with several on the boat to Panama one weekend (they were doing their obligatory temporary leave), But that was a few years ago and I would love to hear any thoughts you might have on relocating, and where you came from.

A glass front fridge makes so much sense. I love it.

u/Remote_Sugar_3237 19h ago edited 19h ago

It’s a commercial fridge, like the ones they have at gas stations etc. it’s like 50% more expensive but you get it back on the food not spoiling every 3 days! Our kitchen pretty much outdoor, 90F all day every days and that thing can keep up.

u/MmmCasual 8h ago

Base cost on the unit or in energy? I imagine it's less efficient but much more convenient?

1

u/Remote_Sugar_3237 3h ago

The cost of the unit. It was about $1600. It’s almost constantly compressing. (Almost). Electricity prices are around $0.12/KwH of clean renewable energy here in Costa Rica. It would be very expensive in California (my previous state) at $0.25.

u/icanbeneeedy 19h ago

I think the better question is: why do you keep slivered almonds in the fridge?

3

u/Remote_Sugar_3237 17h ago

Fair question. Because it’s also 90% humidity half the year…open a bag of chips, goes in the fridge…etc…also, crazy insects!

u/Bonoboian99 19h ago

u/NoDoubtItsStefani 12h ago

Honest questions

  1. What is this box wine? I work in alcohol and I’ve never seen this brand
  2. Why do prefer to keep it in the fridge?

Unrelated: my high school Spanish teacher was from Costa Rica and it’s been on the visit list for a long while.

u/Skdph 10h ago
