Nice !!! Looks to clean for me, you need some scales and slime on it.👍😂

Some things I wish I never read...

You really need the 7 inch springform pan and don't over mix the ingredients and let them get to room temp

I think you need another look at basic electronics. 12 volts with 240 AMP/hrs will get you just as far as 24 volts with 120 Amp/hrs. Either way you get 2880 watts of power.

Well, you got to try this! I love my baked beans but it always takes so long so I started looking for options, enter "Instapot". I did some digging on line and found a recipe I thought I could work with (recipes are just something to start with for me) and the results were even better than I expected so here is my version. Mine is an 8 qt. Ingredients: 8 cups water (I am fussy, non chlorinated) plus 1 1/2 cups reserved 1 LB dry Navy beans (rinsed and picked through) 1 TBS olive oil 6 oz salt pork cubed 1 small onion minced 1/4 cup ketchup 1/3 cup molasses 1/4 cup Brown sugar 1/4 cup maple suryp 1 TBS yellow mustard Step 1: Add the 8 cups water and beans to the Instapot and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes then use natural release. Remove the beans and drain and cool. Step 2: I just made two trays out of foil to spread the beans out a bit and put them in my smoker, 1 pan of maple chips and smoked them until the chips were done. Step 3: Whisk together the ketchup, molasses, maple syrup, brown sugar, mustard and 1 1/2 cups of water. Step 4: In a sauce pan heat olive oil, add the salt pork and onion and cook just until the fat begins to render. Step 5: add the smoked beans, salt pork and onion and the whisked combination back to the instapot and cook on high pressure for 35 minutes then use natural release. You'll never buy canned beans again and you probably won't bother doing them the old fashion way again either! Notes: You don't have to smoke them, I have done it both ways and they are fantastic. You can add extra bacon if you want but 6 oz of salt pork is plenty. (I like PORK and beans) These freeze really well, you could can them but why bother, these are so quick and easy to make you don't need to.

Yes, I have 3 of those Instant Pots, a 3 , 6 and a 8 quart, they are great , no soaking the beans overnight like mom used to do. My beans are basically the same recipe but I used one of those little cans of tomato paste instead of catsup and the mustard is the powdered dry mustard. The 3 quart gets used for mashed taters, rice and hard boiled eggs mostly, the 6 does most main course meals and the eight does whole ears of corn and if ribs ever come down again it will take 2 whole racks, just sauce and finish under the gas broiler edit: if you ever find yourself in the doghouse this is like a get out of jail free card https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-cheesecake-new-york/ supper yesterday with lots of leftovers https://www.shugarysweets.com/instant-pot-chicken-noodle-soup/

That is basically what I have been doing for 13 years of retirement but the client is my wife and if I know what is good for me I wouldn't refer to her as elderly

So I got to give the SxS and new plow a good workout. I cleaned my driveway and did my neighbour's business as we share the driveway onto the road plus they let me work inside where it's warm, on my toys in the winter. Took between 1 and 1 1/2 hours to do the whole job. Used to take me that just to do my place with the snow blower. Almost forgot, the heated seats and heater worked awesome!!! Blue dot is the entrance to my garage the SxS sits in (as well as my boat). The area inside the poorly drawn red area is the area I cleaned up today. 😊 And the toy in all it's glory. 😁 Won't be too long before I'm plowing the ice road out to my cabin. 👍

Listened to him as a teen, now in my 70's he has still got it, always loved his impeccable phrasing , John Lee Hooker influence ?

Gilford has a wonderful new parking lot for $5 an hour to a maximum of $25.. Minnows are $10 a scoop.. Add gas and it's an expensive day..
