I live in Omaha and all my family live in Denver, I make this drive 2-4 times round trip a year for the last 8 years. The drive on I-80 and I-76 west of about Lincoln never gets better. The only thing to make it not really awful is good podcasts or books on tape and stopping as little as possible.

A damn dial or easy to use settings buttons for the radio. My S90s infotainment system is generally pretty good but it’s silly hard to just cruise around the dial for something to listen to.  

Solid nope for me. 

Marnie, and it’s not close. 

I recently finally picked up Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat and have been working through reading it (it is truly excellent and I regret being years late to the party). I have never been one to be shy with salt but this book might have made me get a touch too free with the salt, I made some garlic bread last week that…

My hate on the PT Cruiser at the time is that it has truly horrific visibility for such a small car not that its weird and ugly. I did my student driving in one and it was kind of harrowing checking over your shoulders in that car, because you couldn’t. Seems like now massive pillars are common that make rear…

I have a 680, the 700 is an upgraded 680 with wifi stuff, and cannot agree more. I think that Recteq is the power buy in the pellet grill market.  Higher quality construction and world class customer service. 

Ordered the 30 pack from Amazon when you posted this. There are now only 27 left and I don’t see them lasting long.  Two packs with some veggies and an egg was a great easy dinner. 

Yeah my vote is CB radio or really old car phone. Kind of a redneck limo setup. 

Totally for BLT for breakfast, I have been doing this for years after I discovered no knead method sourdough and how to cure and smoke my own bacon.

#Aimee, you have to respect all the carbs. 

Salt cookies are always painful. One would think this would only happen once...

Heck no, sugar cookies where the cooks reversed the ratio of salt and sugar, the patrol where we ran out of every meat except frozen chicken fried steak for the last month, food labeled “not fit for prison consumption”, and the canned ravioli and corned beef hash were always terrible. 

I once found a caterpillar on some cooked broccoli, in and of itself that is pretty tame.  The funny part is that this was while I was in the Navy, I was deployed on a submarine and we were a couple months in with little fresh produce left.  I was more surprised that we still had fresh broccoli at this point than by…

Ginger ale for sure, or a jack and ginger if it’s been a rough travel day.  I never have either really on the ground. 

Hey, I am in Omaha, NE.  PM me if you need a bed and a couch to crash on mid drive.  

Still love this, made for the second time for Christmas gifts for the family. 

Yes, there usually is too much carry over heat when I have tried this. 

I am a very solid home cook, love to bake and am an EXACT follower of recipes.

Minus the 700hp press car I called in an obvious drunk driver once. At the time I lived in Silverdale, WA a town across the Sound from Seattle in a county with one of the highest per capita DUI rates in the country as well as several military bases. The worst part about DUI in that area was that many of the roads are…
