I use Turbo Tax online, if that counts as "somebody doing the taxes", and that's between $50-70. You can deduct it from your refund. I'm curious how that's going to work because the refund is going to be seized by the IRS for a bill.
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

Washed and ready spinach should not betray you like that, Liese.
The French Onion Soup I had for dinner was good but, I am afraid, insufficient. Hm.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Vegetables are inherently shifty. At least the usual meat premise is pre-killed.

Protein, Liese. Just protein.

Do you have cheese in the house? I suggest cheese.

The soup was pretty cheesy, I don't know if more cheese is a good idea.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I... actually find it kind of reassuring when the spinach isn't nuked or poisoned beyond all possibility of sustaining life. But then I wash pre-washed veg anyway because my trust threshold is apparently low. And I'm a damned food-hippie.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It was a beetle! Green! Upside down in the bottom of my bowl! With its little beetle legs upside down, waving! Okay, not waving, because it was dead. But still. Not reassuring!

Oh, it was dead?
Never mind, then.

There are people in Cambodia who would love to eat that beetle, Liese. Quit being a baby. Eat the beetle. It's the right thing to do. It's the green thing to do. Don't make the beetle have to go up the food chain to be palatable to you as protein.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
And the other day there was something suspicious in my juice. And this is after the 20 day expired smoothie.
Seriously, the world is trying to kill me! Or make me more of a hippie than I already am. At least if there's bugs on my grown greens, I know where they came from. And I don't cook them!
