Mozzarella by Kurterino

This is the second time I’m opening a thread about food, and just like the last one, it’s about a dairy product (last time I inquired about cream). I like to bake a pizza once in a while, it’s a tasty meal and very easy to make at ...

Kurterino

@bepmoht The town where I live is pretty small, but I’m in close proximity to Lauro de Freitas and Salvador. But we do have a little bakery, I’ll try there before driving to Salvador. Read More

04/10/26 @Kurterino Well, I did some reading, and it is indeed possible to make mozzarella at home, and all you need is milk and vinegar. However, normally you would need “rennet” (I hope that is the correct word, I think it’s the ... Read More

@Kurterino Depending where you live, you may have to make your own. The simplest recipes use milk (not UHT) and white vinegar. To source milk, ask at your local bakeries in town. Good luck ! - @bepmoht Well, I did some reading, and it is indeed ... Read More

Banking and transferring money from the U.S. by onthabay

Hello, My name is Rick. I live in a small town in the state of SP. I am married to a Brazilian, and I retired last year and we moved here. I have been trying to open a bank account in my name, showed them my CPF # and my permanent residencey card, ...

Kurterino

It’s a bit late to react, but I just like to add that it is true that it’s quite easy to open a NU bank account, however NU accounts don’t come with an international account number (IBAN or Swift), which means that you can’t ... Read More

Shoppee scam by Kurterino

This is more like an advisory than anything else, hopefully it is useful to someone at some point. A friend of mine recently ordered a cellphone on Shoppee, a low priced Android for under 600 Reais, not an expensive iPhone. While she was waiting for ...

I have had driver's from Shopee and ML text me in the AM asking in an official sounding sort of way that I can "expedite" my delivery that day for a R$15 fee........I refuse. - @hagece8690 As I mentioned in my previous post, a support worker from ... Read More

COMPARTILHAR a vehicle: what does it do/what is it good for? (CNH app) by Kurterino

So I finally managed to pay my registration for 2026 for my scooter, and while checking the status in the CNH app, I noticed that if you click on Licenciamento, it will show you the card that you probably would have to show to the police if they ask ...

Kurterino

It's for identifying vehicle operators in the Senetran system, so that when you get a camera ticket on the highway for example, and go to pay the fine online, you can assign the "infrator" so they get the points on their license, otherwise, if this ... Read More

01/12/26 @Kurterino. Thanks for this. This happened to me at least once, maybe twice; even the shipper's name is familiar. My first go-to is always "Minhas Importações" on the Correios website (https://www.correios.com.br/) It's a ... Read More

Vehicle tax/registration by Kurterino

I purchased a used scooter in January ‘25 and registered it in my name, at which point I also paid the tax and/or registration fee. I’m guessing that for 2026 I will have to renew the registration and/or pay the tax for the new year, and ...

Kurterino

Since I’ve written so much about this story, I think it’s only right to tell you how it finally ended. So after having paid the Ivpa  for 2025,  I’ve waited a few days, and today I logged into the DETRAN site again ... Read More

Let’s say I can’t get a boleto for 2026, for whatever reason, from the internet app. Would/should the local emplacadora be able to resolve this, or would I have to go to the nearest DETRAN office? Read More
