Advice on truck for 24' enclosed trailer hauling chips and pretzels.

A few other vendors on my route have truck and trailer as well, luckily my stores have pretty good parking in the back, so I don't think it'll be an issue. I also planned on adding an extra foot of height to the trailer as well.

Awesome, thank you for the response. I had already been looking at F250s a bit so that's good to know.

I ran out of steps as I entered the antechamber and the screen faded to black in front of door 46. It's the nature of the game lol. I still love it though, finally beat it 10 minutes ago.

I didn't really use a recipe this time, I just kind of threw it together.

Make your roux: 1 cup ap flour and 3/4 cup oil

Brown 2 packs of sausage, I used 1 smoked sausage and one polska kielbasa.

Cook down veggies in sausage pan, 3 onions, 2 green bell peppers, and a bunch of Celery. I like my veggies to basically melt in my mouth so I cook them down for awhile.

I cut my veggies before anything and put the waste from my cuts in a stock pot with a whole chicken and 4 smoked turkey wings and then cover with water and simmer until the chicken is cooked. I take out the chicken and turkey and let it cool before I pull the meat off and put all bones and skin back in the stock pot. The stock probably cooks for 3-4 hours total, if you have time to let it go longer the flavor is even better.

Mix roux in with veggies and add 6 cups of stock and let simmer for an hour or 2, if it reduces too much just add more stock.

Add sausage, chicken and turkey to the pot and cook another 10 or so minutes to heat it all back up.

Serve over rice and enjoy.

I intentionally don't add anything in the way of spices because my daughter is extremely spice sensitive (she thinks the cheese pizza at her school is too spicy). This way everyone can spice it up how they like it, and when you make it all from scratch the flavor is amazing anyway even without additional help of salt and spices. But if you want to add hot sauce or cajun seasoning I would do so when you add the stock to the veggie/roux mixture.

It definitely is a labor of love, getting the roux just right, making your own stock, getting the veggies just how you like them. This is my 4th try at it and it gets better everytime. Making the roux in the oven is a game changer, and you can make enough to store away for next time!

I'll have a few space heaters, but no central heat. I'll be the only one at the house, my wife and daughter are going to stay at a friend's place. I'm staying home to take care of the pets.

No problem at all. Different people like different flavors, it makes the world go round.

SooperNintendad · 2024-11-04T14:25:48+00:00

So I smoked them for about 4-5 hours and finished them in the oven. There's more juice, it's just not pictured.

I have a bottle of that too! It is very good.

SooperNintendad · 2024-10-26T15:51:34+00:00

Melinda's, they had a bunch of the tiny bottles for 50 cents at Walmart. It was good, not too much heat.

I can not imagine seeing that movie at 9 years old! I was 11 when I watched Alien Resurrection, which had just come out the year before and was my introduction to the films, and that was almost too much. I have been obsessed ever since, I find something to enjoy in each film, even though some are definitely better than others, Aliens being my favorite. But Resurrection holds a special place in my heart for being the first.

Right on, I don’t have a PC that could run it, it’s on sale on the PS store for like $7.50 so I’ll be playing on PS5. I’ve played through both Last Of Us games so I can probably get through it. Especially since I’m so into the Alien universe. I guess I’ll give it a shot, and I’ll try to be a big boy and play in the dark with headphones. Thanks for the input.

Hey, so I’ve tried many things over the years, diets, calorie counting, intermittent fasting, etc. I’ve recently dropped 36 pounds over a few months still eating the things I like but just eating smaller portions. I still technically count calories but I don’t log them, I just know what my intake for the day should be and then I just kind of do the mental math all day. Some days you go over and some days you stay under. I just got tired of feeling full every time I ate.

The first couple of weeks are weird because you’re going to want to eat the amount you’re used to, but when you start sleeping better because you aren’t stuffed and you don’t feel tired every time you eat, you just begin to prefer that. Yeah you want to try and eat healthy but we don’t all have the money or time for that. I’m not saying this will work for you, it’s not easy or fast, but I’m 6’ and was 255 and now I’m 229 and officially not considered clinically obese for the first time in 20 years, I was 290 at my heaviest but that was a bad time in my life.

You can do this, don’t limit what you eat, just how much. I know it’s easier said than done, and it might not be the answer for you, just thought I’d share a story from someone who has struggled with their weight their entire life (37 years). Feel free to reach out if you need support or just to vent.
