steak au poivre - part 4

For the last club members weekend at the track I signed up to prepare the dinner. There were going to be around committed seats of 30, I was told 3 days in advance so I could shop for the right quantity of ingredients. I wanted a dish with widest appeal so steak au poivre it is. By now I have made this dish a few times for myself and feel confident that I could scale it 30x without the need to measure or weigh.

brunnhilde's broken sway bar bracket

I was at the track camping out. I noticed a small area of wetness under the camper though I was sure it was just condensation from the overnight dew. I crawled down under the van and check just to be sure. All was good.

It was one of those impulse purchase that I made. Impulse purchase can be very good if you had done the research beforehand and act on it when the opportunity presents itself by chance. I had made numerous big impulse purchases including the two most recent properties. I had looked into the Mitsubishi Fuso Canter 4x4 diesel truck a few years ago, casually and I learnt of their rarity in North America. It is now even more so as Daimler Truck cease to import all Mitsubishi Fuso trucks about 5 years ago a few years after stop selling the diesel and 4x4 models.

happiness is another small engine - part 5

 

This one is not so small engine, really. Having endure some big snow storms last winter I decided life is too short to not spending money to get a good snowblower. I have a 1/4 mile long private driveway that is all gravel road.
