The holiday shopping season is here! If you haven’t already made your wish list or received the wish lists of loved ones, then it’s time to start getting them together. This year, instead of automatically going to the big box stores or shopping with large companies online, see what you could do to support local businesses. Small business owners have had a tough time since the beginning of the pandemic and our support is critical to their success.

My Nan's Corned Beef Recipe
My Nan, Ruth Salmon, was from Hazelton, PA; Pennsylvania Dutch country. She married my Grandfather John Paul Salmon in 1946. His family migrated to America from Ireland during the potato famine. Although Nan wasn't of Irish heritage, she did everything she could to make him happy. His family was large and they loved to gather for all occasions, especially Saint Patrick's Day. Her first attempt at St.Patrick's Day dinner was a disaster. But after a few trials, she nailed the "Best Corned Beef in America and Ireland!" Well at least according to John. 😉 From that day forward Nan's St. Patrick's Day Dinner always drew a crowd and she was famous for her corned beef. She kept her recipe a secret until late into her adult life. It was a way she could get all the kids and grandchildren (and now great grandchildren) together.

How to keep your engine happy: A new way to think about oil changes
It’s a pretty common thing, changing the oil in your vehicle. If you’re like most people, you simply stop in at your favorite dealership, repair shop, or retail quickie oil-change location and get it done. In fact, if you’re like some, you’re lucky if you do it at all based on the timeline recommended in your vehicle’s user manual. Hooray! You got it done. Total score for you- right? Wrong. Not all motor oil is created equal. Sadly, not all oil-change locations are created equal. And while legislation exists that is intended to protect vehicle owners from misleading oil change issues and their detrimental effects, it’s not yet very effective in preventing them. Unfortunately, you could be patiently sitting in the waiting area of your favorite oil change establishment while they pour liquid death into your vehicle’s engine. Why? Because most engines fail due to lack of lubrication. This means that the quality of your oil change is key to your vehicle’s long healthy life. That sounds incredibly dire, and it was meant to. Worried? You should be.
