The leaves are falling, the air is getting brisk, and the No Wake buoys have been pulled. Does this mean the lake is a NASCAR track? Nope, you still have to abide by lake and Missouri boating rules. You should never come into a cove, especially the Marina ‘hot’. No wake laws and Lake Thunderhead rules are No Wake within 100’ of shoreline, buoy or not. Please be respectful of your lake neighbors and the shoreline.

Streamline Your Cooking This Holiday Season
(StatePoint) Anyone who has ever hosted a big holiday meal knows there can be a lot of pressure to ensure everything comes out at the right time, and more importantly, tastes great. Whether you’re feeding your family or a crowd, here’s how to streamline your cooking during the holidays and beyond by using the right equipment to its maximum capabilities: Versatile appliances eliminate the need for a slew of single-use pieces of equipment like pizza ovens, air fryers and secondary ovens, which
can clutter the kitchen and make your job more complicated. Being able to do the majority of your cooking with just a few appliances will keep you organized during the busy holiday meal prep rush. With that in mind, consider outfitting your kitchen with a double oven range or multifunction oven, which will allow you to cook independently in a single standard size appliance. With two ovens, you can prepare multiple dishes that require different temperatures or modes simultaneously, so that you can roast the
holiday turkey or ham in the larger oven, while steaming or baking your sides in the smaller oven and stovetop, without the hassle of over and undercooking, or crossing flavors between dishes. A double oven like the Italian-made Verona Appliances 36” Double Oven Prestige Range gives you the extra space you need to produce the quantity and quality of food you want. Available in stainless steel, matte black and white, it offers a stylized, upgraded look, along with high-powered, professional-level cooking performance.
The 10 easy-to-use cooking modes of a Lofra luxury Italian range empower you to just as easily achieve a flawless crust on a casserole as to perfect your favorite seasonal cookie recipe. Representing the perfect union of form and function, you’ll benefit from modern cooking features and gorgeous design. To stay truly agile as a home chef, you’ll also want to make sure that you’re making full use of every accessory that is included in your appliances. The Verona Ultima range, for example, is a premier cooking ap-
pliance that comes with upgraded features and accessories, including an air fry tray, space saver shelf, a broiler pan and a griddle, for the ultimate all-in-one range. Its blend of beautiful design and innovative features will likely inspire compliments from your holiday guests. Both Verona and Lofra are exclusively imported by EuroChef USA.
