INA GARTEN’S BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES
https://www.food.com/recipe/ina-gartens-baked-sweet-potato-fries-333618
McDonald’s on Signal Hill, Long Beach, CA, the site of a huge oil field discovered in 1919. McDonald’s is the first restaurant where I discovered French fries in the 1950s.

Good morning, Texan! In case anyone is wondering, YES, if you discover oil on your privately-owned property it is yours. Found this answer on Quora:
Can you produce oil as a private person, not as a company?
The answer in the US is yes. I have, as have thousands of other private individuals.
“No state or Federal laws prohibit an individual from engaging in the oil business, and when the risks and the amount of investment required are low enough, individuals do. Shallow wells in the US are cheap (tens of thousands, to a few hundred thousand dollars) and the geology is so well known that risk of accident and geological risk are both low. In addition, markets for natural gas and oil are well developed and competitive. One need only provide the oil or gas buyer with well data for state record keeping and tax purposes.
“However, most places in the world the legal risk and financial investment required are such that an individual would wish to utilize an LLC to insulate himself from liability, or form a public corporation to sell shares in order to both limit liability and raise the required capital.”
So, if there’s an itty bitty spot in your backyard that looks like it just might be oil, dig away!

LOL! You’ll need a nice hauler for everything….
Price: Starts at $45,965 Towing capacity: Up to 40,000 pounds
Ford reigns supreme in the world of heavy-duty passenger pickup trucks on sale right now, with its F-Series Super Duty capable of pulling an incredible 40,000 pounds when properly equipped.
You’ll have to use a gooseneck-equipped trailer to achieve that capacity, of course. Ford makes it easy with a host of trailering-assist features like Smart Hitch, which estimates cargo weight to guide the user on proper tongue weight distribution. You can even set the navigation to route you along roads that are more trailer-friendly.

Good mornin’, and Happy Friday kids! I’m going with one of our classics. My mood today is somewhat “steampunk”, so I think this all-in-one roaster, grinder, coffee maker copper model fits the bill. We can make coffee all day long! Just in case you might have to “people” today. Carpe your coffee!

Read a book day is every day for my granddaughters. They really love reading. I figured they would since their parents start reading every time they sit down. They have a TV, but only bring it out to watch every once in a while if something special is on.

My daughter was like that as a child. We read to her every day from the time she was an infant, and she learned to read well by age 5. That’s the secret, which your son and DIL have put in practice: Model behavior and your children will follow.

Good afternoon, Czarina! In honor of Stella’s oil theme, see if you still have your copy of Edna Ferber’s GIANT. If not, watch this great scene again….
In fact, watch the whole movie and invite family and friends over for Chianti and coffee spumoni (if there is such a thing and you don’t get sick from the combo). Of course, you can always set up a full Italian dinner to go in-between.
