Bridgeport, TX - TT

Saturday - Another beautiful day. It's 68°F at 11am with a light breeze. I have been watching the wind as there was one evening when the gusts got up to 35mph. A bit too high for the awning. 

My epoxied pedal-assist sensor ring seems to work. I had to order a crank puller from Amazon as my other tool is in Hondo (or Fairbanks). The Amazon tool was cheap and I ordered it yesterday and it arrived today. That’s pretty decent. After riding around the park a couple of times to test it out, I returned to the A/C as it’s almost 80°F right now. So much for the cooler weather. 

Sunday - I’ve always wanted to make sauerbraten but never tried it. Today, I’m making it two different ways just to see the difference. The first was a “traditional” recipe I found on the Internet where the beef roast was marinated for five days then roasted in the oven for four hours. The second was an Instant Pot recipe with no marinating and an hour and a half in the Instant Pot. Sides are a traditional red cabbage, German potato salad, and a green salad. 

Since it’s on the warm side, I’m cooking what I can outside. The four hours in the convection microwave is heating up the inside of the RV. Since we are on a 30amp connection, we can’t run the A/C until the oven is off. 

Later - Predictably, the traditional version had a lot more flavor.
