It's amazing how many more options their are for anything today. Potato chips especially annoy me. Here I am trying to be healthier and any flavor imaginable comes in a bag. I stay away but chips are my kryptonite.

Anything natural and chunky. Only brand I've not liked much is skippy. Liked the peanut butter and crackers they put in mre's good lightweight snack when hunting, fishing, or hiking. Plus, somebody had to eat up the Y2K supply before it expired.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/trevornace/2019/11/23/koalas-functionally-extinct-after-australia-bushfires-destroy-80-of-their-habitat/amp/ I'm kind of a softy when it comes to animals. Hopefully they koalas can recover.

The servo motor, the part under the dash that controls the mixing of air wasnt working. So took it off and apart, and the motor had come loose from one of its terminals. Pushed it back in and good to go. All the rest of the time was spent doing multiple flushes, replacing tstat, being distracted by IU/PSU game radio call, and searching for lost nuts and bolts.

After spending about 10hrs over 3 separate days off finally got the heat in my car fixed. As always it was something dumb and cheap but I was forced to do some preventative maintenance so there's that. So now that it's fixed I figure it will be a milder winter than predicted because that's how things go for me.

Love steak n shake chili with fresh onion, cheese, and oyster crackers. And try to get their chili mac a couple times a year.

I used to do beans and still do on occasion. Only reason I took the beans out is because the wife wanted to start following the paleo diet. I just like to eat food so I said whatever. But thanks for the suggestion. Chili beans with kidney or black beans is my combo when I do bean in chili.

1lb ground beef 1lb stew meat 2 cans diced tomatoes 2 cans tomato paste 3/4 can tomato juice Salt,pepper,cumin,chili powder, smoked paprika or paprika, cayenne Fresh diced onion, green bell pepper, garlic, jalapeno. I dont measure anything just guesstimate. And if I smoke some pulled pork I substitute it in in place of beef.

This writer is a condescending umm individual. The first sentence for Iowa's fried butter had her saying she knew middle america was trashy and called people from the hoosier state gross. That's all I need to know about the writer. And choosing between Chicago dogs and pizza as Illinois grossest food? Live under a rock maybe? Also, I like steamed burgers. Very underrated.

The heat in my car quit working. What good timing. At least my truck still works but my wife has to chauffeur me back and forth to work because she needs it too. It's too cold.

When I was traveling around Louisiana I got some fresh chitlins from a gas station thinking they were the same as pork rinds. Was not a fan. Wasnt until watching bizarre foods a few years later that I learned what it was. I can do sausages but eating them straight they are a bit too barnyard tasting for me.

Seems I have a few of these checked off. But I am staying away from South Carolina.

As a connoisseur of massive pork tenderloins this offends me. Really thought indiana would have that. I've had the persimmon pudding and while good isn't something I would consider bucket list.

Let's be real. The best donut in Indiana are my homemade doughnuts. I can bread and deep fry a flip flop and still win.😁JK But I do make some pretty good doughnuts

Drivers who dont use headlights on cloudy, rainy days peeve me off. Just because you can see dont mean I can see you.

Country fried steak and mashed potatoes. I eat cold leftover pizza too but never really thought of it as untraditional. So that too. For some reason I never warm up leftover pizza in the morning but will at other times of the day.

Holy cow. I've made a junior sized version similar to elvis's sandwich with one twist. I put butter and cinnamon sugar on the outside before I cook it a bit. Did not realize he preferred a coronary sized sandwich.

I would have thought it would be the brain sandwich for indiana. I have replicated the Connecticut steamed burger using a tuna can and vegetable steamer. Turned out very good.

A couple others. Dont have a pic of the dog on my phone at the moment.

I mostly read non-fiction, mostly US history related though some fiction like Tom Clancy. S.O.G, by John L Plaster, is a book about US special forces clandestine operations in Laos and Cambodia during the Vietnam war. The author was a part of this group. Gives a different aspect of the war that you dont learn in a history class.

Luckily we still had camp setup as it started to roll in. Nobody wanted to fight the waves and paddle into the wind. So we just hunkered down in our tents.

Sure did. We didn't know how serious it was until we got back to the outfitters. They even made us a certificate showing we survived "the storm of the century" And I had forgotten all about it until you asked your question.

I was on a canoe trip in the boundary waters of Minnesota when this happened. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2019/07/04/bwca-boundary-waters-blowdown-anniversary
