For a car driving in the city, sure a 4 cylinder is fine.

For a truck potentially off roading, not so much.

And, then again, I’ve seen more than one 4-banger tear a few 8-bangers a new one over the years...!!!

You're welcome. Last I heard from her she had several health issues none very serious but combined they made her life difficult and travel out of the question.

thats what I remember as well. It would be nice for her to come back sometime. I liked her stories of her daughters cooking skills.

Mayo? I cook down onions and garlic in evoo

that sounds good too. I often put garlic and onion powder in mine. The cooked onions and garlic sound better.

Cook the onions and garlic low and slow until they are almost a paste

I forgot to mention the small change to the Thanksgiving menu mostly based on James being lazy. A ham instead of a pork butt will be going in the smoker.

I drink Lavazza. Partly because it's overseas.

Is there a transatlantic pipeline...?!?!?!

It was supposed to go to (original) Jersey this year but travel restrictions put paid to that plan .
Have had a v8 range rover and a 4cyl diesel LR Discovery in the past. Both insanely capable off roaders , but can't get everywhere the Jimny can due to it's smaller size.

 

[donaldtoo]

I'm making everything but this year instead of lasagna we're downsizing to baked ziti

Oh my. That’s like goin’ from filet mignon to a nukable Salisbury steak...!!!!!

Yep, a lot of cylinders doesn’t, necessarily, matter. Even early Indy 500 motors in this country were mostly 4-cylinder Offenhauser’s, with pistons as big as coffee cans...!!!!!
4-cylinder “Offy’s” dominated for decades...!!!

I was wondering about you this morning actually. I’m glad you popped in. I hope you are doing well.

Doing ok... tired of this covid business... as I'm sure everyone is... it's draggin on far too long.

But I do have 2 more vegas trips already booked for next year.... Feb and Sept. Vegas is like Disney, you can't see it all in 10 trips!

eta.. oh and I got a new vehicle yesterday... 2021 Equinox in Pacific Blue.. =D

I inherited the daily sillies from Moxo a true champion if ever there was one. I miss her

I meant another repeat of one I posted at the beginning of the latest craziness. Not a problem, I just remember posting it before, and tend to post my share of silliness (that’s what I come here for) often, and I’m sure I’ve repeated myself many times.
I still miss a lot about MOXO too, including her always nightly sunset pics. Was always a great note to end the day on.
God bless both her, and Betty Rose, wherever they are.

 

[donaldtoo]

OK gang, out for tonight...!
Hug your loved ones either literally or figuratively, and the sweetest of dreams/mornin’ to all...!!!
Laterrrrrrrrrrr....!!!!!
