It's a 2010 Honda Accord v6. I've used an oil treatment in the past, not sure if it helped or not. I'll get some tomorrow after I do a little research.

If you try it, don't be alarmed by how thick it is coming out of the bottle. It is made to blend right in with the oil.

New carb and filter/tube kit arrived today. I am going to Steve's Small Engine Saloon tomorrow for a carb tutorial. If this works, I am going to be so pleased. Eighteen bucks for carb, gaskets, pick up kit, air, oil and gas filters and a plug - what a deal (if it works). And the pride of near self-sufficiency.

I’m still on a quest to make really good Sourdough English muffins. This latest recipe is a lot closer. You make a dough “sponge” (very sticky) with sourdough starter, flour and milk. Then put it in the fridge to cold ferment overnight. Mix it into dough the next day and cook on low heat.

I bought a set of rings for this and it was well worth it. A cold ferment makes it tastier — more like sourdough.

But what a mess! I may have mentioned I’m a messy cook. :rolleyes:

In the freezer they go for those nights when I just want a quick egg sandwich.

Being so near Nellis, we are used to seeing and hearing these Draken A-4’s flying overhead.

But earlier today, one of them dropped a panel onto a neighborhood in North Las Vegas. Amazingly no one was hurt even though people were outside, including kids playing. Scared everyone pretty good! Yikes!

LA that is scary plane parts are just falling out of the sky! I am glad nobody was hurt by it. Your cooking adventures make me hungry just seeing the photos. Great job!

Brett, many of us are about the same age. I'm staring that number in the face as well. It beats the alternative though. :thumbs:

I hope everyone has a great Friday. So far it is looking okay here. We could get storms again today, but I hope not. Baton Rouge got hammered recently with lots of flooding. The Mississippi, Missouri and Arkansas rivers are all in major flooding and heading south. So many people are facing this, it is very sad.

We are getting a little sunlight today for a change. It is going to be around 100 deg or more real feel though this weekend, followed by a cool front on Monday. At least it isn't raining, but 100 deg real feel with high humidity is not going to be pleasant. Summer is just about here.

Today’s all day adventure was homemade chicken pot pie. I am slow in the kitchen, lemme tell ya. But I don’t take vacations, and this is how I get a break. And surprise! I made a helluva mess.

Not pretty because the very buttery crust was hard to work with. But they were tasty. These ramekins aren’t big and I thought two would make a good meal. One was plenty! You can freeze these before baking and I wish I had. Obviously they are best right out of the oven.

For any roast chicken lovers, this sub-recipe for the chicken breast is a must try. I got the pot pie recipe at this site.

Wow LA, that looks great. I saved the link for future reference. My grandma used to soak her chicken in salt water before frying it. My mom did that as well. I always liked baked chicken with tons of lemon juice and some butter with it, and whatever else you want to add. Then I sometimes cooked rice with chicken by adding soup to it too, and baking it as well. I haven't cooked any chicken or meats in quite some time though. My dad made the best bbq chicken, but my goodness you needed a stack of paper towels to eat it. I've never made chicken pot pies, but a friend of mine used to. I always liked to make chicken and dumplings. My mom never liked it, so she wouldn't cook it. I noticed my daughter cooked some chicken and dumplings recently. That made me smile.
