Meh, that is only 83 mph for the metric impaired. Or, maybe the speed limit on the sun is higher. She has to go that fast to get a good breeze, since that is 118 degrees F.
Ksuromax, where are you?

Dubai, UAE
LOL
within the city may vary from 40 to 100 km ph outside it's 120 and the accuracy is +20, so you can drive ar 139 km ph without any fine
And there's a small part of the hw between Dubai and Abu Dhabi where 140 is officially allowed and you can drive at 159...

in Ontario, Canada my neck of the woods - anything over 50 kph - our limit is 100 kph , your vehicle is impounded for 7 days (find your own way home :( ) and you will be charged with racing and the monetary fines are one preloved BV bag! + plus your car insurance rates will increase.

Are you cooking one of your exotic meals with these?

I made a chicken bone broth yesterday. Not too much prep but I couldn't complete the 24 hrs of simmering. It felt like forever. It's very good even if I did cheat. (Some recipes called for 48 hours of simmering but I wouldn't even attempt that.).

We do have crazy fines, e.g. for speeding you can get 150-170 usd fine, the more it's over the limit, the higher will be the fine, but it can be discounted if you pay in cash, and the fines are different from emirate to emirate... if you are abusive violator you may get black points, after getting 10 black points your license will be voided and depends on the type of violation one can be jailed.....

makes senses, as long as you are "comfortable" ( maybe not the best choice of words? ) driving these speeds and the flow of traffic is as such, go for it! every so often I may put the pedal to the medal as they say - then I ease off :angel:

Hatch Chiles are very versatile but you have to be careful of their "heat". The ones I bought yesterday are allegedly mild. I make baked chile rellenos, mac & cheese, burgers, and tuna melts. I once made a hatch chile stuffed pork loin that was wrapped in bacon. It was a bit of work but worth it. The chiles must be roasted first to remove the skin. I freeze them on a baking sheet and then store them in large freezer bags. When it comes time to use them, I pull out what I need and roast them using my kitchen torch. Melissa's, a specialty produce supplier, published a Hatch Chile Cookbook a few years ago. Many grocery stores in the South West will roast the chiles for you, but I prefer to roast my own.

The territory is vast and driving at 'safe' speed makes the trip extremely long, while the roads (the fast ones) are pretty safe, all are split, flow goes one way and you have 3-6 lanes, on some roads MINIMUM limit is 60 km, which in other cities is taken as max....

our roads are congested to say the least so anything over 120 is about it - and that's in middle of the night.
