Subj : Plan-Overs To : Dave Drum From : Ruth Haffly Date : Tue Jan 07 2025 14:35:11 Hi Dave, RH> F-150, not sure about the steering wheel. Also do have the remote start RH> which has been nice. Had that on the Frontier also. DD> My next ride will have it. As it is I'm only a few steps outside the DD> front door. I can nip out, fire up Bruno and start the seat and RH> We're not too far from the truck. Steve can start it remotely, keep it RH> locked until we get out there. It won't go anywhere until he puts the RH> key in; pushing the gas pedal without putting the key in will kill the RH> engine. DD> That's the way my little HHR worked. Locked the doors and started the DD> engine. I could unlock the doors with the key or by pushing the button DD> on the key fob. But I had to have the key in the ignition to drive DD> away. Easy way to prevent the car from being taken. Too bad they didn't have the remote start when I was growing up; I remember too many Sunday mornings when we'd head outside to a cold car and be almost to church before it warmed up. There were some Sundays it didn't start and we'd walk to church, arriving quite cold. By the time the school bus got to us, it was always warm so we weren't as concerned about a cold vehicle during the week. RH> Guess I'll be making a few more "rib sticking" meals over the next few RH> days; got beef stew planned for early next week. It'll be my "regular" RH> stew, no pot au feu this time. DD> I've been getting lazy as I get older. Especially since I disovered DD> the "Healthy Choice" frozen entrees. When Hy-Vee puts them on sale for DD> D-I-L his schedule and mine do not match often. So I'm basically DD> "cooking for one" anyhow. Bv)= RH> I'm buying more bread than making it, buying rotisserie chickens from RH> time to time and a few other "cheats" now and again but I'm still RH> basically cooking for 2. Sometimes when Steve has a Legion or VFW DD> My local GFS (restaurant supply) is offering rotissiere chickens @ U$3 DD> each. I'll stock up this afternoon. Got lots of interesting recipes DD> that call for rotissiere chicken. Bv)= Sounds like a good idea. Steve pulled a turkey breast out of the freezer the other day; I think I'll bake it tomorrow. DD> There's a red sauce Moussaka, as well. But I figure if I'm going to do DD> that, why nt make a real lasagna instead? RH> I do the lasagne my MIL taught me how to make, quite a bit more fiddly RH> but well worth it. Maybe I ought to make it up into one meal's worth RH> amounts; it would be more work initially but so much easier if we want RH> lasagne later on. (G) DD> Dennis, pack-rat that he is, saves all take-away containers. And I, DD> realist that I try to be, dump arm loads of them into the wheelie bin DD> just before putting it on the curb for pick-up. Just, mostly, the DD> light duty stuff. I stack the heavier stuff and keep an eye on it. If DD> it's DD> not been used in three or more weeks .... into the bin. We have some plastic "throw away" stuff that I keep reusing for soups, etc for the freezer. Trouble is, the lids are a thinner plastic so they break easier--I need to sort thru and toss containers with no lids. I've also got some Tupperware that gets used for freezing or storage of dry goods in the pantry. --- Catch you later, Ruth rchaffly{at}earthlink{dot}net FIDO 1:396/45.28 ....
