The Nissan Leaf on the Farm

Image
With tribute to USDA and other government furnished information of the post war advice converting Model-Ts to tractors --"Doodle Bugs". I towed the resurrected rear-ended 2013 Nissan Leaf up to Berkshire, NY from Duluth, GA. It is now in field trials as a farm machine in Upstate NY. Despite the lack of current ground clearance it is performing well in dirt and mud. I will be skidding firewood very soon. https://journal.classiccars.com/2018/06/08/doodlebug-1923-ford-model-t-tractor/ https://www.thehenryford.org/collections/explore/artifact/188731?AssetId=THF811118

Nachos Grande

I have been cooking at home a lot more lately and enjoying it. Of course, this interest has me buying more tools for the activity including a deli meat slicer, a food processor, meat grinder, vacuum sealer and so on. I made one of my old standbys this past week, Nachos Grande. They are closely adapted from what I had to make at Chi Chis restaurant over 40 years ago. Yes-- 40 years ago. Hard to believe.
