Traded in one car this summer and got a 48 month loan on new. "We don't get many under 60, I can't tell you what the rate will be (It was 4.35%). A few weeks later I traded in our other car for ... a cargo bike! Have not looked back with regret.

Pork Loin Roast with roasted apples and sweet onions. I made a decent sauce too. People say they'd love a dinner invitation. Well in addition to great conversation, the best guests bring us breakfast for the next day, Bourbon we can't find locally, and flowers. Everybody wins! 🍽️🍜❤️

A breakfast bag with the words what's done eating for breakfast? Written on the outside. It contained yogurt and fruit and homemade granola. Also a bottle of yummy bourbon from denver.

I cleaned out the freezer of everything that was more than 2 years old. The biggest community #compost run I've done. Probably had 35-40 pounds, including the usual stuff.

Yes. You can verify coverage with your insurance provider. We got at the local Meijer pharmacy on practically a walk-in basis (calling 10 min ahead)

Lovely Fall evening so we enjoyed Ina Garten "Weeknight Bolognese" over Spaghetti Squash by the fire pit. My contribution to this meal was riding my #CargoBike to 3 stores yesterday to find suitable squash and opening a Lake County, CA Merlot for dinner. 🍽️🍜

Trying to convince my wife that leaving the toaster on the "Bagel" setting when done, is the moral equivalent of leaving the toilet seat up (which I do not do). She's not buying it.

It's an Elote-style roasted corn casserole with Queso Fresco and Cojita cheese. She adds the black beans and this time we added Hatch Chilies I had grilled earlier.

Good luck! You can also experiment with searing pre-cook, or both

Grilling the Hatch Chilies seemed like a good idea. Will use those in a dish. 🍽️🍜 #BBQmunity

I use an electric box smoker just over 225F. This was 11# before I trimmed. Cooked very fast and I had to pull at about 12 hours. Kept wrapped and in a warming drawer and sliced after guests arrived. Smoke stops absorbing in to meat about 140F or so. Many variables. Pics on the page.

As you probably know cornbread has flour in addition to corn meal. My spouse is Gluten Free so she uses 1:1 flour to substitute. She also tossed in sone chopped pickled jalapenos.
