It’s not just a US thing. I’ve never actually thought of this until this post, but I’d think it’s because taxes are done annually.
Your employer says they’ll give you X amount a year, but you receive X-Y into your account. It’s easier to talk about X, then to worry about how Y fluctuates.
It also makes it feel as if you’re making more money. Raises for a year sounds better than when you divide by 12 and get the monthly.
Yes! I mostly do store bought, but found a recipe based on a vegan cream which was too delicious.
It’s become the go-to dessert for me to make for events.
Vegan cream, maple syrup, peanut butter, salt, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, and salted peanuts. A wonderful snickers-like ice-cream.
