Dan's Family Gets Car-Cooked Tacos

Jason and Dan made it to the Dresser Dad's fish house but alas, no fish! So the boys made tacos with lime cilantro beans for Gerry and Jerry (Dan's parents), brother Tom and sister-in-law Heidi, and their son Caleb. The warming oven worked GREAT! Oh, BTW, Dan's dad caught a fish (hope it was walleye) earlier for the boys to take along for manifold cooking later. On to Fargo!

The middle pic shows Dan's Rube Goldberg fashioning of the "new" warming oven he's building into the dash where the glove box used to be. We bought an aftermarket transmission cooler and Dan's plumbing it into the cooling system to keep the various stages of the meals warm and toasty.

Bottom shows the nasty ply sep that kept Ellen thumping and whumping down the highway.

KARI TOYOTA ADVENTURE

Well, Ellen has been getting a lot of attention this week. Master Mechanic, Diligent Dan Dresser, did double duty defraying disabilities on the road by rebuilding the entire front end with the able help of Jody Miller. Then Kari Toyota volunteered four new tires and a whole bunch of parts that are needed to get Ellen into shape for the vaunted trip to New Orleans scheduled to launch on Jan. 19th. See a folio of fun fotos at the Cooking on the Car FACEBOOK GROUP page. Jason, Dan, and Ellen made Manifold Banana Bread for the crew at Kari. 'Twas fun indeed.

PS: Note Ellen's nastily bent antenna.
