Borscht, Cause We All Need Some Comfort Food with this Weather

I may be the only one, but I’ve been feeling the need for some serious winter comfort food. It may have been the 6 hour power outage last night, or it may be quading in the drenching rain on Saturday. Either way: I’m cold, blah and all around yuck.

You do need a fairly big pot, it does use the hearty winter vegetables, and it is one of my favourites. So let me know if you make it, and your address. ;)

I’m on Twitter: @FordandLincoln.

NB: Another Pot is used as a Noun.
NB.2: All amounts are mostly suggestions, I like to add one extra beet and half a head of green cabbage with the full head of red. I’ve also added parsnip a time or two.
NB.3: I love a blob of sour cream in your bowl of borscht.

The oddly formated recipe above was caused by a running joke about my handwriting, so geek that I am, voila – messy computer generated recipe, an exact replica of the hand written borscht recipe. That’s not to say my handwriting is bad, just bad compared to Heidi, Shannon, and Michelle’s (actually all of accounting has some ridiculously awesome writing).

My printing compared to their elegant cursive is called chicken scrawl. The Oatmeal assures me this is caused by the keyboard.

Custom Car and Custom Truck Event with FordBecause this is a Ford Blog, not a Food Blog… I guess I should also tell you that the Custom Car event through Ford is on right now.

Impress Your Valentine with These Cool Date Night Features from Ford

Your first date is riding on more than just four tires, think about that first impression of your vehicleJust about everyone remembers the car they rode in on their first date. Was it a convertible with a great sound system, or a boat on wheels with lots of space? Whatever it was, both men and women agree that cars can make or break that first and often memorable impression. “A person’s car is most definitely an extension of themselves,” said Ellen Fein, dating expert and best-selling co-author of The Rules. “You often get one chance to make a right impression, and your car is one of the first personal things your date sees about you.”

As Valentine’s Day approaches, the all-important role that cars play in modern romance can’t be overlooked. And it’s not just the make and model of a car that matter. The features inside your ride can have a considerable impact on the setting and mood.
