Conservative in the extreme
It s fair to say that our long-term Hyundai Tucson II 2.0 Elite 2WD had a hard act to follow. By which we mean our previous long-term Tucson II Limited AWD diesel.
That s a lot of Tucson talk to take in, but basically: our previous Tucson was a fully loaded luxury model with a torquey turbo-diesel engine, 8-speed automatic gearbox and AWD. It was a smooth operator, no question. As it should have been, for $63,990. Gulp.
The idea was always to go from from a high-specification Tucson to something a bit more mainstream and that s exactly what we did for our second term: a move into a model with the entry-level 2.0-litre petrol engine and FWD. Although we did treat ourselves to Elite specification and gain a few goodies.
It starts with sauerkraut, a thrifty and healthy dish that preserves well and is easy for farmers to make. Add roast pork, something Pennsylvania Germans love, and you have a holiday dish that can be served on Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Yearâs Day.
Lancaster County residents might travel during the holidays. Many make it a point to be home on New Yearâs Day so they can make a batch of pork and sauerkraut or buy meals from one of the local fire companies and churches that host Jan. 1 meals.
âWeâre going to be out of town . but weâll be back for the pork and sauerkraut,â says Dean Evans, of Lancaster. On New Yearâs Day, Evans likes to go to St. Joseph Catholic Church for its pork and sauerkraut meal.

The checks were given out early Monday evening at the Woodson Boys and Girls Club.
Chris Cole, a member of the 14-person organization, said this group wanted to assist families during the holidays.
âFor us, it was really important for us to do something,â Cole said. âWe are a very young group of men that have come together in recent months. Every last one of us, at some point in our life, were raised in the boys and girls club. We just knew this was an opportunity for us to make an impact.
