The Day Continues -- May 22, 2024

Locator: 47155B.

CNBC
First Hour: Jim Cramer

I remain impressed how much information Carl Q has in his binder. Amazing. 

China: Cramer has lost his "interest" in China's leadership; infers that China's leader has disappointed him.

  • China no longer has what "we" expect from China. -- Cramer
  • China acts as if they "are on top," acts as if "they are in control" when in fact, having major problems

McDonald's: shift in conversaation to McDonald's

EVs

Tesla links this morning:

Local:

  • our neighbor, a 30-something, married, has an early model Chevy Bolt
    • bought it about 18 months ago
      • early conversation with him: very happy with purchase
    • yesterday: more reserved
      • would now recommend a hybrid rather than an EV
    • two comments:
      • range was his biggest concern; his commute is less than seven miles each way
      • says advertised range was ~ 200 miles but due to "battery protection" guidelines (the 80/20 rule), he gets about 100 miles between charging
    • he didn't say it but he inferred, second issue, literally always thinking about charging
      • often "has" to slow charge from his garage (120 volt) because the installed super-chargers in our apartment complex aren't always working
      • management has said that periodically: that management is aware that chargers are not working and they are working the issue
    • very, very interesting conversation
  • an extended family member in town; rented from Enterprise
    • given a brand new Toyota Camry, hybrid -- had 11 miles (no typo) on odometer
    • it literally came off the truck yesterday; washed, detailed, filled with gas;
    • our extended family member who has the rental was unaware it was a hybrid;
      • never mentioned by Enterprise; possibly the young agent did not know
      • driver noted it only because it was so incredibly quiet

Chicken Marsala

Easy, easy, easy.

Delicious, delicious, delicious.

Ingredients:

Total time: 30 minutes and it's really rewarding to make; so simply, so delicious

What it's all about:

  • two large chicken breasts; cut lengthwise to make thinner cutlets;
    • then physically tenderize

How-to here.

Ingredients and comments:

  • Marsala wine: may be slightly difficult to find
    • dry, not sweet 
    • two best brands
      • Florio
      • Carlo Martinez
  • Sherry, dry: not in recipe linked above but mentioned elsewhere: add 1/4 cup dry sherry
