Well, it’s actually nitrogen, but it’s great. I think this was a new addition to our local Costco as I had never seen it before. It’s really easy to use and you can fill up your tires to the correct pressure in just a couple of minutes. First, remove all four of the little inflation valve covers on your tires, then select your desired tire pressure on the machine. If your tires are hot, they suggest adding 4 psi to the recommended pressure. Then go to each tire and press the nozzle securely onto the valve and release the locking sleeve. The machine will add or remove nitrogen to the exact pressure you selected. It just takes a few seconds per tire.
Just another reason to shop at Costco!

Pizza nights are always great, but especially when there’s a baker in the family who knows how to make a delicious crust! I helped with the toppings, but the crust is probably the most critical part of the pizza to me. 💗🍕

This summer, our backyard deck has become something of a zoo, with many different types of birds, pesky squirrels, and even lizards. Most times, it’s pretty quiet, but at about 6 pm, it becomes a madhouse! I really love to see the small birds hanging out with the larger ones. It’s so fun!
Recently a pair of white-winged doves has been coming by for water and a bit of food. I haven’t paid doves much attention since they are very common, but they are actually very interesting! Not only do they move more slowly and gracefully than the other birds, but they have really nice markings, especially when they spread their wings.
I hope you had a nice day!

The miso-glazed cod from Costco was just okay. The fish was moist, the texture was nice, and it looked yummy, but there wasn’t a whole lot of flavor… it’s probably not a keeper for us. However, Mariko’s homemade side dish of watermelon radishes with bacon in a cream sauce was amazing! I’m looking forward to more of that, but we usually don’t think of radishes when we shop. Maybe we should change that?
