Mike works: gas for bike $60/mo Car abt $40 since all I ever do is grocery shop. If we get to the point we can get me a scoot and get me licensed, that will either raise or cut my expenses seeing as I'd feel like doing more.

Lonna, Can you post the gumbo recipe? Mom used to make gumbo when I was growing up but I haven't had it in years and she never shared the recipe.

Dunno if I bike specific tools but I have a trunk full of tools used to work on the car, metric and imperial.....now if we could get the toolboxes from here to NC without the use of my car in the process...great lol

I don't have granny's recipe but good fried chicken requires buttermilk, seasoning, cast iron pan. Unfortunately I can't cook southern because Mom never taught me the family recipes. Sent from my VM670 using Tapatalk

Joe, is that any good? Possum wasn't served in my home growing up, Dad thought it was too greasy. I've had and love squirrel and rabbit, so those are the closest I can compare.

I'd do it, but I neither have the time or the funds to put together a project like that. Have a friend who worked to put together a cookbook for the newspaper she works for, But I expect she doesn't have the time to assist me.

Neither of these are southern since I met and married a 1st gen Connecticut-born Croatian-American. Both of these recipes are favorites in the house. Spinach Soup Ok here's the recipe as I make it. Ingredients 30 ounces of spinach 3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 6 14 oz cans of chicken broth 2 tablespoons of butter 2 tablespoons of flour 4 tablespoons of cornmeal or polenta (original recipe called for it) 2 cups of milk 2 or so tablespoons of garlic 1 teaspoon of nutmeg salt and pepper to taste Cooking: Wash then cook the spinach (or use frozen spinach) with the chicken broth and olive oil in a big pot (my 4.5 quart dutch oven is great for this) on medium heat until the greens are cooked (about 20-30 mins). Puree the greens in a blender until smooth then add back to the broth and stir up well. Keep the mix warm but not cooking. In a small saucepan melt the butter, then add flour to make a paste and mix well. Add the mix slowly until the mixture is smooth, then add a little cormeal at a time until completely added. Stir constantly and as it thickens add the garlic and nutmeg. Stir well then add to the spinach mix and sir well. Add salt and pepper to taste and cook about 20 mins more. Soup Can be frozen. Crepes: Warning, Mike wrote this lol Kosovic Style Crepes Ingredients 12 large EGGS 3 OR 4 Cups of FLOUR (all purpose) OR ½ ALL-PURPOSE and ½ buckwheat flour (THIS IS GOOD TASTING TOO) 4 Cups of MILK OR 1 QT PACKET OF DRY MILK AND 4 CUPS OF COLD WATER ¾ CUP of OLIVE OIL (for batter) and separately Olive oil to coat pan MIXING THE INGREDIENTS Mix dry ingredients together then add the wet ingredients, one at a time, ie 1 egg at a time, oil, etc. Mix the batter thoroughly to remove the lumps (an electric handmixer works well for this) Cooking the crepes Using a 9 inch steel skillet or 9 inch cast iron skillet Warning: you need a wide spatula for flipping unless you have mad flipping skills. Heat pan on high to thoroughly heat the pan then add a quarter sized amount of olive oil to the pan and rotate the pan to cover the bottom. Use big ladle (soup spoon) or 8oz measuring cup to drop batter into fry pan. Reduce heat to medium high heat and continue cooking. Rotate pan to spread batter to pan edges, but not too far, then difficult to flip. FLIP when NO LIQUID BATTER on top side of crepe. **Start next crepe quickly, don't leave just olive oil in pan long, because it will smoke. Somewhere between the 3rd and 5th crepe you will probably need to add another "QUARTER" size amount of olive oil to pan again. (When crepes start sticking and breaking when you try to flip is a good indicator more oil is needed.) Makes between 20-30 crepes You can fill with various fillings, but then cook in stack, and COOL STACK before filling. Ideas for crepe fillings: meat and veggies, ie: fajitas dessert crepes are limitless,

Hmm what a great idea Tom, why not put together a cookbook to sell for the forum? I'm sure everyone has a fav recipe or 2 they can submit?

Is this only on the Ventures or on other bikes as well? Mike has a K&N filter on his Volusia, was the only brand we could get for his.

The weather won't be great here this weekend, however it will be warming soon. If you like military museums we have an AFB museum here in town, takes a day to walk through the first time. I vote everyone come see the museum, it's free and open to the public.

Wish we could join ya, maybe soon we can ride up that way on the weekends and putter around

Mike bought a pair last spring for riding the bike, they are a heavy boot and he liked them. But they hurt his feet a bit after a while. We added some gel insoles to add more cushion. However they didn't last as long as he thought they should have. The soles had worn through last month. I'll still be taking them to the local cobbler and getting new soles, new boots however were just as cheap. He replaced them last month with a pair of roadwolfs, so far they seem to hold up better and wear better.

Just wondering about some of these profile pictures ???
GAWildKat replied to FuzzyRSTD's topic in Watering Hole
Mine's just an avatar of a black panther. Every since I was a kid I've been called a wildkat, red hair, quick temper, all that...but I've been told I'm sneaky and quiet like a cat. I like black panthers, they are pretty, blend in the shadows. My profile pic was taken by my hubby at a local park where he likes to do photo shoots. -
I deleted my post because I didn't want that to set the tone for my day. I couldn't carry the anger I felt for someone's insensitive comments to ruin a day that was meant to celebrate a life cut too short. I also didn't want a thread whose topic was a tongue and cheek poke at fundraising for the site to be ruined by a redhead's quickness to anger. While I'm on the site daily reading posts I try to keep my comments fun and lighthearted or helpful in some way. Please accept my apology about deleting the post. We went to a memorial service after Mike got off work for a friend that passed away 2 weeks ago this coming Tues. While we were celebrating the life of our friend, my good friend who was with the group got the call she dreaded, her grandmother who raised her passed away this evening. Tricia

Sorry guys I left the room just after 11pm, it had been a long frustrating day for me.

Seasons Inn in Blairsville GA is a nice place and affordable, and still close enough to ride to the dragon

I need to update mine as well. When I was a teen Dad was having heart attacks pretty regular so I made my parents spent the money to get me certified. Last thing I wanted then was to be somewhere alone with Dad and have him collapse into another heart attack. Thankfully I've never had to use my skills beyond bandaging cuts and such, but I'm always ready, even have a pretty through 1st aid kit on the bike just in case.
