We're looking to possibly move up to something like a Ford F-150 size. Steve is debating upgrading the camper, wants something with a bit
more tow power.

We have seen reports that the F150 out sells all other cars & trucks in

I also saw a report that the new all-electric F150 could pull a fully
loaded freight train, but that was with the train sitting on a level
track.

For all versions:

Preheat oven to 325 (convection will show 300)

In a LARGE bowl combine sugar, salt, and the other spices (follow
above ingred. for your recipe-no red pepper flakes in the Indian
version. Mix well. Set aside.

Warm honey and crushed red pepper flakes (if in that recipe) over
medium heat for one minute. For Indian verion, just warm honey.
Stir almonds into the frypan. Make sure all of the nuts are equally
covered in honey. Remove from heat and spread almonds (or mixture of
nuts) in a single layer on to a teflon alum. foil wrapped pan. Bake
for 18 minutes, remove from oven and let cool for two minutes.
(Mixture is still slightly sticky)

Using spatula place the nuts into the bowl with the sugar, etc and
toss carefully to make sure all of the nuts are getting a coating.

Remove the coated nuts and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet
until the nuts are cooled.

I vaccum seal in jars to keep freshness, but can just be placed into
any container for short term use.

Tested for Xmas 2015. Labled the flavor of each jar and made a cloth
covering for the mason jar and tied with ribbon.

Fun gift. You have to know the hotness level of the people that
will get this as part of a xmas gift.

Add more spices to meet your own levels.

Recipe should work on any other nuts.

Variation of Weight Watchers recipe.

that the electric pick up is a "coming" thing. Both the Ford and the

But before I grant any credibility the the "pulling a trai" deal I want
to know how many "loaded" (with what) cars in the consist. And how far/
fast did the mighty pickup pull that thing?

Even if it were just an SW-1500 switch engine and no cars that would be
a mighty feat, indeed. The SW-1500 weighs in at 124 tons. A "road" unit
like the GP series would weigh even more.

Just the other day I saw a "track speeder" with traier zipping along
with a crew of six people on the Norfolk Southern right-of-way. I was
somewhat taken aback as speeders (AKA section car, railway motor car, putt-putt, track-maintenance car, crew car, jigger, trike, quad,
trolley, or inspection car) have been replace, for the most part, by
pickup trucks with retractable flanged wheels allowing their use on
both roads or rails.

Hi Dale,

We're looking to possibly move up to something like a Ford F-150 size. Steve is debating upgrading the camper, wants something with a bit
more tow power.

We have seen reports that the F150 out sells all other cars & trucks
in the USA. I have some doubts, but it may be true.

I wouldn't be surprised; I see enough of them on the road.

I also saw a report that the new all-electric F150 could pull a fully loaded freight train, but that was with the train sitting on a level track.

The problem with electric vehicles is that towing really limits their
range. A truck that can go 200 miles on a charge can only go 100 miles
while towing. Figuring in time to recharge, it would take us at least 3
weeks to get out to see our daughters and grandkids. Steve is still
considering diesel but hasn't made up his mind yet--depends on what's
available in the next few months.

Title: Spiced Honey Almonds/variations
Categories: Snack, Tested, Easy, Xmas
Yield: 3 Cups

Fun gift. You have to know the hotness level of the people that
will get this as part of a xmas gift.

True, I wouldn't want to get something that I didn't know was hot/spicy.
Also, some people can't take the heat; one of our friends thinks a bell
pepper is hot.

Add more spices to meet your own levels.

Recipe should work on any other nuts.

My favorite is cashews; Steve likes most all nuts.

Title: Canadian Rabbit Stew
Categories: Game, Vegetables, Herbs, Breads
Yield: 3 Servings

1 lg Whole rabbit
1 qt Water
2 tb Cornstarch
6 Sliced carrots
6 md Potatoes; diced
1 c Corn niblets
1 c Green peas
1 c Wax or green beans
1 md Onion; chopped
1 c Diced celery
1 Bay leaf
Salt & pepper

MMMMM-------------------------DUMPLINGS------------------------------
1 c A-P flour
1 1/2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
2 tb Chilled shortening or lard
1/4 c (to 1/2 c) milk *

* the less you use, the better the dumplings seem to
hold together

Boil the rabbit in the water until its meat is tender,
then remove it from the pot and bone it. Put the meat
into a large kettle, add 2 cups of the broth in which
the rabbit was cooked, bring to a boil, and add a
thickening sauce that you’ve made by stirring the
cornstarch into 1/4 cup of the remaining rabbit broth.
Allow the kettle’s contents to boil for another minute,
then reduce the heat. Add all the remaining ingredients.

DUMPLINGS: Sift the dry ingredients together into a
bowl, then cut in the shortening with a pastry blender
until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the milk
all at once, stir lightly just until the dough holds
together, and then drop rounded tablespoonfuls of the
mixture on top of the gently bubbling stew. With the
heat adjusted so that the liquid just simmers, let the
dumplings cook - uncovered - for 10 minutes, then cover
and let them cook 10 minutes longer, or until the steam
has fluffed them up nicely.

If you need to thicken the stew, do so after removing
the dumplings.

Serve homemade tomato relish and cranberry sauce on the
side, to give your hearty meal just the proper finishing
touch.

Quoting Kurt Weiske to Dale Shipp <=-

We have seen reports that the F150 out sells all other cars & trucks in the USA.

the US!

Not quite. It may be the #1 selling vehicle in North America and
the #1 truck in the world but ...

They are widely sold in Canada (and are the #1 truck here too).

The world's best-selling cars:
1 Toyota Corolla: 1,150,000 sales
2 Toyota RAV4: 1,070,000 sales (#1 SUV)
3 Honda CR-V: 885,000 sales
4 Nissan Sentra: 705,000 sales
5 Toyota Camry: 635,000 sales
6 Ford F 150: 620,000 sales (#1 truck, #1 North American made
vehicle for 43 years in a row

"The Ford F-150 sells primarily in the U.S. and Canada, but also in
Mexico, China, Middle East countries such as the United Arab
Emirates and smaller markets including Antigua, Chile and Brazil."
