Try Peanut Butter Jelly sandwiches when you get access, they’re a staple in the US. There is no culture of “rounds” at the bar really. Unless you live in a select few cities, the US is not very walkable and public transport can be semi-dangerous. Its not the accessible and normal mode for most people like it is in Ireland. You won’t have a clothesline, so make use of the dryers- they’re separate machines from the washer and you’ll need one! Oh and its totally normal in the US to put crackers in soup. You’ll see that a lot!
Wait do ye use dryers in the summer even if its really hot?? Are indoor drying racks even sold in the US?
Yeah, i use an old wooden drying rack, but im not sure how easy they are to find these days.
Yep we use dryers year round (it’s usually faster). You can definitely find indoor racks at like ikea, bed bath and beyond and I think Target since sometimes delicate clothes should be line dried instead of tumble dried.
Virtually everyone uses a dryer even in summer. I use a wooden drying rack indoors to be energy efficient. I think people would look at me funny if I dried my clothes outside in town. Sometimes you will see clotheslines out in the country, especially Amish areas, but they are not common in most places.
