I swung by a first-world Costco tonight: the line wrapped from the pumps the whole length of the gas station out to the access road (2 stop signs): 6 minutes from when I got in line to a pump, just over 10 from when I lined up to when I pulled away.
91 was $5.19/gal which is $0.80 less than most gas stations within 5 miles are currently. Saved more than $1/min. 
It took me 25 minutes to get gas at the Irvine location today. $4.80 though 
Spring time and looking for a new propane grill. Live in FL and looking to upgrade to a stainless variety. Leaning towards a Blaze. Any suggestions? Some of the food here is rocking btw!
PS: not interested in a charcoal debate (already have smoker)
Ohhh I gotta try this with plantains.
This morning I improvised a potato onion soup to use up some items that have been squatting in the pantry for too long.
The result is as delicious as it is unphotogenic.
I’ll splash a couple of tablespoons of cream into each bowl when serving.
Cooked in the slow cooker for 4 hours on low:
Separately, boiled for 30 minutes:
Then to the potatoes, added in:

Pureed it, 1/3 at a time, in the food processor.
The Original Rice Krispies Treats™
Nearly half gone in about three hours.
(Added half a bag of peanut butter chips for good measure)
Just got my solo stove Pi. Hoping to fire it up this weekend
How’d it go?
I also added a handful of spiced gum drops, about a third of a bag of butterscotch chips and made it extra gooey by overshooting the recommended ratio of melted butter + marshmallows to everything else.
Reminds me of this Christmas classic.
How does it taste?
Like the best popcorn ball you’ve ever had (assuming you’ve had a popcorn ball, of course)!
Really really good. Had about a dozen friends over for a pizza party. Everyone loved it and had a great time. If you get one, let me know and I’ll give you a referral for I think $50 off. Pro tip, use trader Joe dough if you don’t make your own
Am I doing this right? I know I know, I’m out of cucumbers. But look at that single perfect ice cube. 
cups too small. 
All about the ratio IMHO, which makes great smalltalk at an airport bar. “Double Hendrick’s / single tonic” because absolutely nobody wants double tonic (who even wants a single serving of tonic?).
I am finishing up a very American “BBQ pulled chicken and tater tots”, and reducing the chicken bones to make soup, so there will be food. But the botanicals in a good gin are a great appetizer.
Ain’t an American bbq unless it walked on 4 legs
