A Fun Guy

IMG_2914Blog

I think I’m getting the hang of bookkeeping, but my gosh there is so much to learn. For example, I thought debit meant decrease and credit meant increase, but apparently it’s the opposite for small businesses! I made a little cheat sheet to help me with journal entries. Does anyone have any more quotes I should add to it!?

IMG_2872Blog

Just call me English – for a snack I had some whole wheat cinnamon chip scone scuffin and blueberries in cream. I love floating blueberries!

IMG_2871Blog

Oh, and a bite of cookie at 5:00. Because there were no cocktails available!

IMG_2874Blog

Matt and I got to bike home together tonight! He drove his car in many days in the past month, but he’s just now getting to the point where he can bike in. Now we’re a biking team.

IMG_2898Blog

When I walked in the door I poured a GIANT sparkling water mug. But I can’t say I didn’t sip off that IPA in the background.. I’m trying to keep my alcohol to the weekends only, but man is it hard sometimes!

IMG_2895Blog

Citronella x2. Herbal bug sprayed legs. I had a mosquito land on my thigh (where I did not spray) but I got him before hit bit. Otherwise, bite free!

IMG_2896Blog

We had planned to make a mushroom and beef soup for dinner tonight from a half pound of beef I had in the freezer for a while and thawed last night. What were we thinking!? It’s S U M M E R! Burgers and kale chips were quickly formed instead.

IMG_2900Blog

The MUSHROOMS I grew MYSELF!!!!!! I’m trying a mushroom kit by Back to the Roots…a 100% sustainable urban mushroom farm started in the Bay Area by two friends in their last semester of college. The farm is made from recycled coffee grounds and produces pounds of oyster mushrooms in 10 days. Just set on a windowsill, mist twice a day, and watch them pop right out. The soil inside is composed entirely of recycled coffee grounds – a safe & sustainable soil for the mushrooms. This was one of those organic/sustainable/slow food things I just had to get behind:

And thar she grows!!

[nggallery id=9]

 

Back to the Roots is on pace in 2011 to collect, divert and reuse 1 million lbs of coffee grounds from Peet’s Coffee & Tea – now that’s some good recycling!  Buy them 10% off here with code mushrooms4me10. And look for the farms on OpenSky. These would be so fun for kiddos [and Bears]!

This evening we harvested the first batch and sautéed them to put on top of our burgers. I was a bit scared to eat something that grew out of coffee on my dining room table, but they sure tasted good – like good ole ‘shrooms!

IMG_2903Blog

That white stuff is not a huge blob of mayonnaise – it’s melted parrano cheese! Served over cheddar garlic. With the grass-fed beef and lots of ketchup. Yummmm.

IMG_2918Blog

Kale chips – from our garden!! Also smothered in ketchup.

IMG_2919Blog

IMG_2897Blog

A mushroom joke for you:

Why did the mushroom go to the party?

Because he was a fun guy!

Why did he leave?

There wasn’t mush-room.

Muahahaha.

        Heinz makes one with sugar and no HFCS now and it tastes exactly the same. It is not organic but doesn’t taste like those organic ones either so it’s a pretty good choice, worth checking out. But I also agree, a little of the regular stuff won’t kill ya.

          By boyfriend and I have the ketchup argument all the time. He swears by Heinz (the kind with HFCS)… there are so many brands of natural and organic ketchups out there… all tasting slightly different. If you want to turn a ketchup lover over to the natural kind the Heinz without HFCS is GREAT. My boyfriend had NO idea!!!

    I took accounting in college, and I can still remember the equation A = E + L, or in other words, assets = equity + liability. An advanced version of the equation is: Debit accounts (A + E) = Credit Accounts (L + OE + I), where the E on the left side means expenses, and the OE on the right side means owners equity. Basically all you need to know is that the left side is debits and right side is credits, and that when you increase a debit account, you have to decrease the credit account to make it a balanced equation. Using the equation A = E + L might be easier to remember than your list 🙂

    I’m an accountant. Maybe I can simplify — don’t think of debits/credits in terms of increase/decrease because the direction varies depending on which side of the balance sheet you’re looking at. Instead, think of assets and as debits and liabilities/equity as credits. So if you’re increasing an asset, you debit it. If you’re increasing a liability, you credit it. For the income statement, expenses are the debits and income are the credits. Hope that helps!

    Check out the book called Financial Intelligence (http://amzn.com/1591397642). It’s really informative regarding how to understand business financials (debits, credits, balance sheets, cash flow statements, etc) but it’s not a dry read. It’s actually pretty easy to understand, with lots of real world examples.

    As an accountant, I have to admit I am a little nervous for you! My #1 tip would be to make sure you reconcile your bank statement monthly. Do NOT let it wait. If you pay for deliveries, etc. out of cash register money, make sure to keep track so you won’t have any register issues at the end of the night.

    Accountant here…when I was first learning the ins and outs and debits, credits, lefts, rights, I used this to keep things simple..”After eating dinner, let’s run circles.” (AED/LRC)…Assets, Expenses, Drawing (owners withdrawals), Liabilities, Revenue, Capital. AED is increased on the LEFT side (debit), LRC is increased on the RIGHT side (credit). Feel free to reach out if ever you’re having trouble!!

    An easy way to get your head around the debit/credit thing is to think of what is happening to your money. Cash is an asset so if it goes up it’s a debit, if it goes down it’s a credit.

    So when you pay your bills, your cash goes down (credit) and then there has to be an offsetting debit to expenses by default. When someone pays you cash your cash goes up so it’s a debit and the offsetting credit has to be to revenue since you have made money. Every time something happens to cash, the opposite has to happen to something else.

    I work in Finance and sometimes still have moments where I can’t think clearly about Debits and Credits, haha. I found this chart a few years ago, and it hangs on my wall when I need a reminder: http://www.accountrain.com/debit_credit.html

    no clue if this will help, but we keep track of our assets in quickbooks by setting up an automatic entry for the general journal at the beginning of every month [since your assets value will decrease – usually on a monthly basis]. if it’s in your budget, a tax accountant would be a great asset (there’s that word again] especially when it comes to filing your taxes and handing over your profit and loss reports, etc. [we’re an LLC and tax season is tedious] – hope some of this helps somehow!

        thank goodness. i rely very heavily on our acct to help me through quickbooks so hopefully that is an option for you if you ever get stuck. i know the reconciliations take awhile to get the hang of but by this time next year you’ll be a pro, no cheat sheet necessary.

    Loved the kale chip video. That was very helpful to actually see you make it. You should do more videos like that.

    Growing your own mushrooms? That sounds positiviely delicious. These photos are just amazing. I want to eat everything! I find the floating blueberries to be peculiar, which is why I’d like to try it!

    Oh by the way, I tried your baked banana oatmeal recipe and it came out good! I tried to like oatmeal, which is why I went with your baked recipe. But I came to the conclusion that oatmeal just isn’t my thing. I know you love it though! I wish I did too!

      Have you tried all kinds of oats? All techniques? I think the key is finding one that you like. But you still don’t have to like them!

    I just made a batch of mushrooms w/bean burgers last night. I love them so much and would make them everyday if they weren’t so hard to wash. I always worry re. the dirty residue left on them.

    Anyhow, that grow your own mushroom kit looks awesome, especially appreciated for folks like me who lack vegetable growing capacity – a window sill I have!

    Your “cheat sheet” brought back memories from gard school. *shudder* I still don’t know why debits and credits have to be opposites in business!

    Well, debit means increase and credit means decrease for ALL businesses, not just small businesses (so says Emily CPA! *smiles*) but I think your cheat sheet is good. Ready for something mind-blowing? When you enter revenues they will be credits, so they will LOOK negative…. LOL. Seriously, if you have questions, let me know. I am in Ohio, so I might not be too much help, but I can try and I have used quickbooks!

      Well I meant in contrast to the bank and me as a consumer where debit for me means I lose money and a credit is like a refund, money gained.

      Now it’s all backwards!

    Those mushrooms look really janky!!! I love weird looking mushrooms like those because they remind me of the ones in Chinese restaurants 🙂 My mom is an accountant working at home, so I am very familiar with the frustrations of Quickbooks.

    My first accounting teacher taught us the mnemonic device ALOE. Which is assets = liabilities + owner’s equity. You basically already have that one on here, but I still think it’s a good one to have. I’ve never forgotten it!

    For me the easiest way to learn it was to think of debits/credits in terms of the customer.

    Love your accounting cheat sheet – that’s the most intimidating thing about owning a business. I am so very grateful to be married to a CPA… although I still have to do the bookkeeping for my business and our personal finances… and then he “audits” me on both. That’s love! 😉

    remember please excuse my dear aunt sally?

    Use Amanda didn’t exit. Assets, Depreciation and Expense are the ones that are debit increasing while the others are debit decreasing.

    Hope it helps!

    I am going to have to invest in some citronella candles and that eco bug spray. I love sitting outside on our front porch or back deck, but always end up covered with bites. So annoying! Where did you get the eco friendly spray?

    I also need to try the overnight oats recipe sometime soon – it has been way too hot in the morning for hot breakfast lately!

    The debit/credit thing definitely is confusing! If you have the time at some point in the next year or two, you would definitely benefit from a basic accounting course. I took one and hated it last year; but it taught a ton of really confusing stuff, and somehow it makes sense now!! I bet your local community college even offers one. If it’s too big of a time requirement, my local college even offers a 1 month, 4 hour a week Quickbooks class; I’ll bet most do!

    I just read this and WOW – what a coincidence… A friend’s sister is one of the sales reps for the mushroom company! She’s responsible for all the Whole Foods & other locations that sell it in a 4 (or 5?) state “radius” around California! Too funny! She was just at our place last night for a BBQ!
