The Five Mile Dream (1958)

Tweet

"The Five Mile Dream” is a short documentary talking about the building of a bridge that connects the Upper and Lower peninsulas of Michigan together. We know of this as the Mackinac Bridge. After many struggles to begin construction, the building of the Mackinac Bridge was completed in 1957. We’re sure that anyone who lives in Michigan will really appreciate and enjoy this film.

Meet Our Newest Employees

We would like to welcome two new employees to Roy O'Brien Ford.

First we would like to welcome Tess Guyette to our family. Tess is our new Social Media Specialist (S.M.S.). She will be making sure that we are involved in and active on all social media outlets such as Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, Google+, Instagram and more.

Outside of work, Tess loves to travel. She recently got back from a trip to Peru. After hiking through the Andes Mountains, she visited Machu Picchu – one of the Seven Wonders of the World! Luckily for us, while she was there she took a photo displaying her Roy O’Brien Ford pride (pictured below).

Tess is a Public Relations major at Wayne State University, with a great interest in social media. So, you might be thinking that our new S.M.S. will be spending all of her time on the computer, right? Wrong. When you come in to our dealership, you’ll most likely see Tess in our Showroom or down in our Service Customer Lounge, interacting with and getting to know our customers. Make sure to say hi and introduce yourself. Who knows, you might get lucky and land an interview with Tess that will be put up on our blog or Facebook.

Welcome to the family, Tess!

We would also like to welcome to Roy O’Brien Ford, Rebecca Bonga. After working at Art Van for ten years, she has decided to try her hand in the car business. Rebecca is now one of our New Vehicle Sales Consultants. She is excited to make the transition from selling sticks to selling steel.

When adding individuals to our team, we look for people not only with good sales skills, but also with great personalities. Rebecca has both. Forming lifelong bonds with customers, her artistic skills and having a wonderful family are just a few qualities of our new employee.

Outside of work, Rebecca loves making stained glass windows and refurbishing furniture. When it comes to family, her four daughters, ranging from ages 18-33, are Rebecca’s pride and joy. She also loves being a grandmother to her five granddaughters and one grandson.

We are thrilled to have Rebecca bring her positive attitude and exceptional customer service skills to Roy O'Brien Ford. If you are in the market for a new vehicle, stop in to see Rebecca. You can be sure that she will greet you with a smile and help find the perfect car for you.

Welcome to the family, Rebecca!

Thanksgiving Side Dish Recipes

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. - Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching which means you're either preparing to have family and friends over, or thinking about a dish to take to someone else's feast. Either way, we've come up with a few Thanksgiving side dish recipes that everyone will love.

1. Green Bean Casserole. This classic dish is super easy to make and always a traditional dish to serve at Thanksgiving dinner. For this you'll need:

• 2 (15 oz) cans cut green beans, drained
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 (2.8 oz) can French fried onions
• Salt and pepper to taste

First, you'll want to preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then, in a medium casserole dish, mix together green beans, milk, cream of mushroom soup, and 1/2 of the can of onions. Bake for 25  minutes until bubbly, sprinkle the remaining onions on the top, and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Then pull it out of the oven, let cool and season with salt and pepper.

2. Cranberry Sauce. This is always a Thanksgiving staple. You'll need:

• 12 oz. bag of fresh or frozen cranberries
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp. water
• 1 strip orange or lemon zest

Empty your 12 oz. bag of cranberries into a saucepan, taking 1/2 cup of the bag and putting it into a small bowl. Add your sugar, zest and 2 tbsp. water to the pan and cook over low heat. You'll stir and cook the mixture until the sugar dissolves and the cranberries are soft - about 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and cook until the cranberries burst - about 12 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cranberries you set aside. Add sugar, salt and pepper to taste and let cool before serving. 

3. The BEST Mashed Potatoes. Not only are these potatoes easy to make, they are also super delicious. You'll need:

• 5 lbs. Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 cups parmesan cheese
• 1 cup chopped fresh chives
• 1 1/2 cups cream cheese
• 1/2 medium head garlic, peeled and minced
• 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste

First, bring a pot of salted water to boil. Second, add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm. You'll want to then drain the potatoes and return to the stove over low heat to dry for a minute or two. After this time has passed, you'll add the butter, parmesan cheese, chives, garlic, salt and pepper, and then use a potato masher to mash until smooth.

4. Cornbread Stuffing with Sausage. Cornbread and sausage? Always delicious! You'll need:

• 1 lb. ground sausage
• 2 cups chopped celery
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 5 cups crumbled cornbread
• 5 cups seasoned bread crumbs
• 2 3/4 cups chicken broth
• 1 1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
• 1 tsp. sage

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and then place the sausage, celery and onions in a large deep skillet. Cook over medium heat until evenly brown, drain, crumble and set aside. In a large bowl, combine sausage mixture with cornbread, bread crumbs, chicken broth, poultry seasoning and sage. After mixing well, transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake covered for 45 minutes.

Hopefully these Thanksgiving side dish recipes will help you make it through the holidays stress free. If you are planning a trip to visit family and friends for turkey day, stop by our dealership and we'll get you into a reliable and comfortable vehicle for the drive!
