No, they won't. Liability insurance (required) provides coverage for
when you're at fault in an accident. Uninsured Motorist provides
coverage for property damage if you're hit by an uninsured driver, not
"hit & run" drivers.
 
Collision insurance covers exactly what it says: damage due to a
collision. It often includes a provision for car rental while yours is
in the shop. It isn't smart to not have full coverage.
 
My car was hit in a Walgreens parking lot some years ago. No one fessed
up to hitting it. There was a little old lady who came toddling back
towards me from the store entrance when I saw the damage and let out an
unladylike yell. (She exclaimed "It wasn't ME!" Yeah, right.) The
drivers side door and rear quarter panel were smashed. Collision
insurance covered the body work, paint job and provided me with a rental
car while the work was being done. And since it was an *unwitnessed*
accident, my insurance company (USAA) cut my deductible in half. All I
had to do was d/l an unwittnessed accident report form from the county
Sheriff's web site, fill it out, scan it and email it to the insurance
company.
 
Most people don't bother to read insurance policies because of all the
gobbledygook; I get that. Here's a hint: the DEC (declaration) pages
included in your policy spell out briefly but succinctly what is covered.

Well hey, he's making $30 an hour now so he can pony up some cash and
get that body work done on the Leaf. Meanwhile, at least he's got his
fart-mobile to fall back on.

Likely! He won't hear emergency vehicles approaching an intersection.

That doesn't make sense. If the other driver was uninsured, they
couldn't "go after" that uninsured drivers' insurance company (a process
called Subrogation) to recover their loss.

Dinner tonight was cashew chicken. I made Thai-style cashew chicken last
week. This week I wanted to cook up a Chinese version. I was disappointed
because it turned out tasting too Chinese. I like the Thai version better.
Unfortunately, my wife thought it was the best ever. Now I have to come up
with a recipe that tastes like Thai and Chinese.
 
I packed it for my wife's dinner tonight with some coleslaw with a dressing
of mayo and shoyu.

You'd get more exercise if you got on top... and your moving may not

Grin, for me, get rid of what looks like a bit of fried chicken and the
hot dog. Now fill up with a variety of steamed summer vegetables and
mustard greens or baby bok choy.
 
All in all though, it's not a terrible plate. It's just more meat than
we'd eat. If they had the option, Don and I would have gotten one
plate with an extra musabi in place of the chicken and hot dog and one
of veggies then split the dishes up with a musabi each, 1/2 the beef
and 1/2 the veggies. We'd probably split a tangerine or orange to go
with it all.

Pizza bakes best on a perforated metal pan or a pizza screen:

I have the Chicago Metallic pizza pan set; perforated pan, deep dish
pan, and pizza knife... may need to buy it separately now. The
perforated pan sits atop the deep dish pan so there's a space
underneath for ventilation, no condensation:

The deep dish pizza pan is also my sticky bun pan.

I have made fried crust pizza. It's always an option. I'll make it about 50%
of the time. I like to make it for the kids - they seem to like it better.
As it goes, it's easier to eat because it's easy to bite into. OTOH, here's
a picture of a regular crust pizza.

oooh that look lovely. I tend to spread tom paste on the top, put the
filling on and cover with cheese. What do you do differently? Is that the
fried pizza?

I used a pizza stone *once* and then retired it to use as a potted plant stand...

I just measure the flour and water by weight. At high hydration, I doubt storage room or proofing box humidity make much of a difference, but I don't have enough experience to be certain.

Ran into this one and it's simple, easy, and helps with all the produce
those of us who planted a bit, as it comes to crop!
 
Chilled Spiced Yellow-Squash Soup, from Daniel Patterson
https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/11593-chilled-spiced-yellow-squash-soup
 
Yield Serves 6
 
Ingredients
2 pounds yellow crookneck squash, trimmed and roughly chopped
½ cup olive oil, plus more to garnish
? teaspoon red-pepper flakes
½ teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
¼ teaspoon coriander seeds, toasted and ground
1/8, teaspoon ground turmeric
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon lime juice
Chopped mint, to garnish
 
Preparation
Combine the squash, olive oil, red pepper, cumin, coriander,
turmeric and 1 1/2 cups water in a pot with a large pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, until the squash is very tender.
Once the squash has cooled, purée it in a blender on high for 30
seconds. Pass through a fine-mesh sieve. When completely cool, season
to taste with the lime juice, salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls, and
garnish with mint and a few drops of olive oil.
 
My variations: I don't keep red pepper flakes (odd perhaps since I
probably have 200 or so spices). I'm more into savory so for me, this
one wants Sweet Paprika and maybe a dusting or hot paprika at serving
time. With this spicing, a few green onion tops from the garden will
do well for the mint if you didn't grow any.
 
For cost for me this will be spices (3cents?) and roughly 33cents for a
lime or 5cents of Calamansi powder (a powdered citrus fruit popular in
eastern Asia and the Pacific) plus 35cents of Olive Oil. 78cents for 6
servings for 13cents a serving. Add 22cents a serving (current sales)
if you have to buy the squash.
 
Note: prices based on Virginia Beach sales for squash. Calculated
based on not having Calamansi ower (dsi1 probably does or can source it
easily without sugar added). Spices mostly gotten in bulk from savory
Spice Shop and olive oil from amazon subscribe and save.

I have to go to the bank today. I could take my car that gets about 30
mpg or my motorcycle that gets 65 mpg. I am going to ride my bicycle.
It burns no gas and does not need coal fired electricity.

Well, Princess, perhaps you should eat breakfast at home rather
than going out for bagels.

The Pink Palace museum in Memphis contains a replica of the first
self-serve US grocery store (Piggly Wiggly). It has contains shelves
full of items from the early 20th century in pristine condition. It's
entirely possible Uncle Ben's rice with his iconic image could wind up
in a museum some day. :)

Check the ingredients to be sure it uses HFCS. (Fructose is a reducing
sugar.) For certain, avoid *any* artificial sweeteners.

Yes, and I suggest people experiment more often with basic flavours, and
that cola is one we tend to forget because 'Coke & Pepsi' have
collaboratively squeezed our perceptions for cola taste towards beverage.
 
 
> I would have to add water to achieve the moisture
 
It is easier to dilute than to concentrate. If you have the concentrate
you then have the flexibility to use it as such, plus you can always
dilute it if needed. Someone around here regularly posts the ingredient
list for water.

Yes, I should have made clear that I've only used cola as part of a marinade, not to directly cook with...
