trof's JournalA word about crosswinds from a former airline pilot.
Climate change is bringing stronger winds, among a lot of other 'inconveniences'.
Aircraft manufacturers together with the FAA determine the maximum crosswind in which a particular type aircraft can be safely landed.
High crosswind landings call for a lot of skill on the pilot's part.
I have been there and, even within that limit, the pucker factor can be pretty high.
If the winds are higher than those limits, you can't/don't land there.
I don't know if American was truthful about the reason for their cancellations, but the limitations exist and are adhered to.
Instant pot chili
Browned the meat (stew meat. $6.99/lb. whew!)in a skillet first.
The saute' setting on the IP ain't that great for large quantities.
Threw it all in the IP with dried pinto beans, a beer, another cup of water for the beans, 1 package of Wick Fowler's 2 Alarm Chili Kit. Added a small can of chopped green chilis and a softened, chopped poblano.
Ready in about 30 minutes, dried beans and all.
FANTASTIC!
Maybe best chili I've ever made.
What weird foods have you eaten?
Not that you preferred it, but you ate it anyway.
I'll go first.
A sheep's brains and eyeball.
In Rome, on a restaurant's antipasto table, a half sheep's (lamb's?) head.
Right down the middle of the head.
Front to back.
Even had the teeth.
I was showing off.
Don't remember what it tasted like.
You?
Is an air fryer worth it?
