Have an immersion blender? You can make some tasty and filling pureed soups pretty easy with a crock pot and an immersion blender. My favorites are butternut squash soup, potato and leek soup, and roasted tomato/pepper.

Have stick, will blend!

I love cooking chicken this way. Olive oil and a bit of salt, pepper and oregano make the skin taste super good :btroll:

It's actually one of the worse ways to cook a chicken, the beer doesn't add any flavor and it makes it harder to get to the right internal temperature before the outside is overdone.

Spatchcock your chickens, always.

So a dude that works at my wife's school just recently got his mom's (grandma's?) '53 Ford Crestline. Apparently he's not much of a car guy but really wanted to have a restoration project with his son. Unfortunately, it seems that his son doesn't give a poo poo so I may actually end up helping out some. I don't really know poo poo about cars of this vintage so I'm not really sure where to start. Not sure when the car was last run, either, but I figure the standard of all fluids, filters, and rubber would be a good place to start. Unfortunately, ALL of the glass is gone and needs to be replaced.

Either way, might be fun to work on something that old.

Check out the glass situation first. If you can't find any windows and have to get custom ones made you might as well just chop the roof anyway.

Glass is mighty expensive. I haven't worked on any 50s cars yet but have on lots of 60s ones, pretty curious what you'll find.

Yeah the glass is a problem. Apparently he's been looking for junkyards for replacements, but it's rare to find anything that old. Story is that every window was broken by assholes. hosed up.

No idea on any info on the car. If anything does happen, it'll be over the summer once he has time. If I end up getting roped into this thing, maybe I'll start a thread.

Thomas Edison really did electrocute an elephant to demonstrate how AC current was unsafe (granted, he fed the elephant 6600V, which is ridiculous overkill). Plus, he shot video of it: :nsfw: obviously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoKi4coyFw0

We had Trump yesterday and Bernie is set to start a speech shortly. Trump had about 7400 people show up, the headcount at the Sanders event has topped 12,000 so far.

It's probably this thread. It gets the most traffic. You'll have to weed through the sarcasm but you'll have a blend here of people telling you to buy land rovers and busses to vintage BMW's and then others saying Miata. The only sanctioned car buying thread is in BFC which I trolled for a while but it's mostly full of people asking lame questions to where 'don't buy a rental, don't buy a salvage, you should get a Prius' is 95% of the answers.
Sell your Mazdas(Mazdi?); get a standard 6 and then a BMW. The E9X are in such a sweetheart of a price point right now it's outrageous.
