Burnin' Rubber

You know how in New England we put snow tires on our cars for the winter months and then change them back to regular tires when the snow all melts away? Well, a similar thing happens here. Because the roads get so hot our tires have to be changed more frequently. Our car went to get new tires and check these things out!
Only problem is- we got the car back and there was this huge oil footprint in the passenger  side of the car. Now, about 4 weeks ago our car was detailed and all cleaned up! It made me so happy. I guess next time it should be new tires then the detailing!

On to better things- this granola recipe from Min's college friend! Let's call it The Best Granola You Have Ever Tasted In Your Whole Entire Life- is that too dramatic?

The Best Granola You Have Ever Tasted in Your Whole Entire Life (for short we can use the first letters TBGYHETYWEL):
1 cup oats
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup oat bran
1 cup coconut
1 cup sesame seeds

1 cup flax seed
1 cup flax seed meal
sprinkle cinnamon and vanilla over all ingred.
1 cup honey 
1 cup canola oil

 Throw all that stuff in a bowl and give it a good mix!

Bake at 300 for 40 mins on a jelly roll pan. Smell the vanilla and cinnamon filling your kitchen- it smells like you are baking a cake!
I also added almonds, dried blueberries and dried cranberries- get creative add whatever you would like. A bit of advice though- don't skimp on the honey, it's not as good without it all!
Then try your best to let it cool before you start picking out those huge junks that lump together!

Sooooo good! Jesse loves it, so does Mom and Marisol and Miguel! I made it with only a 1/2 of a cup of oil and it was great. Next time I think I will try sunflower seeds instead of sesame and add some more fruit! Mmmm...mmm...good!
