Newly retired Florida sheriff's deputy crushed to death by RV he recently purchased
A retired Florida sheriff's deputy was crushed to death by his own RV outside his home after reportedly buying the vehicle to celebrate his retirement. Deputies from the Broward Sheriff's Office said they responded to the scene Wednesday evening to find the victim trapped underneath the RV at his home in the community of Oakland Park, just north of Fort Lauderdale, reports 7News. The BSO identified the man as one of its own: 64-year-old Craig Bachan, a recently retired sergeant from the department, according to the station. Bachan's son and sister also confirmed the victim's identity to ABC Local 10 News. His family said he left the department just 10 months ago. The BSO has not yet publicly released further details surrounding the circumstances of the victim's death. No foul play is suspected, although an investigation is underway. Bachan had reportedly been preparing the RV he had purchased after retirement for a summer trip when it collapsed on him, neighbors said. One neighbor said they discovered him trapped under the vehicle from across the street and immediately called 911. 'He just bought the RV,' the neighbor told the news station. 'He was going to go out to Montana, Idaho, that area of the country this summer on a vacation.' Local news cameras captured a yellow tarp at the scene with the surrounding area taped off. Bachan's sister remembered her sibling as 'an incredible son, a loving father, and a devoted brother. She also shared a photograph of Bachan taken at his retirement party with local media while calling him 'an amazing deputy.' Neighbors mourned for the late deputy, who they considered the 'heartbeat of the community.' According to Bachan's Facebook profile, he first joined the BSO in 1995. His LinkedIn profile said that he was promoted to detective and assigned to the Violent Crimes Unit in 1999. He went on to spend 11 years assigned to the Special Victims Unit investigating sexual crimes and missing persons, his profile says. Bachan was eventually promoted to Sergeant in December 2012. The Independent has contacted the BSO for more information.

"It's My Go-To Easy Meal": People Are Sharing Their Favorite "Lazy" Costco Meals That Will Absolutely Save Your Wallet
If you've ever roamed the aisles of Costco, you know it's basically the mecca of bulk deals and convenience foods. Sometimes, after a long day of adulting (or just existing), the last thing you want to do is cook a meal from scratch. So, when all else fails, you can always turn to the wholesale wonder for a lazy yet satisfying feast. In an attempt to figure out which easy Costco meals are fan favorites, I headed over to the r/Costco subreddit — home to the most honest, no-nonsense opinions on the internet — and found a few threads where people shared their go-to lazy Costco dinner ideas. Get ready to fill up your cart and avoid doing real cooking all at once. Because isn't that what lazy meals are all about? 1. "My easiest is the orange chicken, sticky rice, and frozen green beans (all from Costco!). Also, I will do the frozen edamame because my kids (two and six) love it." 2. "Costco Italian sandwich: place an open-faced artisan roll on a baking sheet with basil pesto, salami, ham, prosciutto, and mozzarella balls. Toast until the cheese is melted. Add a slice of tomato and drizzle with red wine vinegar and balsamic vinegar. This sandwich cures seasonal depression." — Talusaboutit 3. "Lazy man enchiladas: rotisserie chicken, cheese, tortillas, and salsa (it has to be a salsa you like). Shred your chicken, chop it up a bit, put cheese and salsa in there, then fill your enchiladas with that mixture. Put the rest of the salsa on top with more cheese and bake." 4. "Bibigo microwave rice, shredded rotisserie, and Bachan's Japanese BBQ sauce make a great Asian-style BBQ chicken bowl. You can do the same with ground beef for a beef bowl." — Parking_Cranberry935 5. "Salmon, rice, and asparagus. Put the salmon and asparagus in the air fryer and the rice in a rice cooker. It's healthy, delicious, and easy." 7. "The chicken tikka masala is good. Warm it on the stovetop, and serve it over rice. We sauté some diced bell peppers and add a little extra heavy cream, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, and cayenne to the chicken mix for some extra flavor. You can get the naan dippers to go with it as well." For more budget-friendly recipes, download the free Tasty app, where you can save any of our 7,500+ recipes for easy grocery shopping and meal planning. 8. "Get the tortilla-crusted tilapia and throw them in the air fryer. They make wonderful fish tacos. Put whatever toppings you want! They pair really well with the lime crème sauce." — Banana_Clips 9. "We make 'cheater chicken parm.' It requires breaded chicken of your choice (we use the Tyson panko breaded tenders), five cheese tortellini, and marinara sauce. Cook everything according to package directions; cut the chicken into bite-size pieces, throw some cooked tortellini on a plate with a handful of chicken pieces, and cover in marinara sauce. If you feel fancy, you can add tomatoes and extra cheese." 10. "A feta cheese block, cherry tomatoes, and pasta. The TikTok recipe is viral for a reason and a staple in our house." 11. "Kirkland lightly breaded chicken breast chunks, PuraVida fire roasted root veggies, and Sweet Baby Ray's." — tuckedpin 12. "Chicken, two packs of the French country loaves, and maybe some tomatoes or a bag of salad. Freeze one of the loaves for next time. You can make sandwiches, but just the bread (with butter or chicken juices), chicken, and tomatoes is a perfect meal." 13. "Kielbasa, chopped bell pepper, and red onions. Toss in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, and lay on a foil-lined baking sheet. Put into a 425°F oven for 15 minutes or so to roast. Add the kielbasa when five or so minutes are remaining. Once done, chop kielbasa, and you're good to go. We'll sometimes do the pierogies with the kielbasa instead. Boil the perogies and sauté with butter in a pan. You can also sauté some diced yellow onion and serve with sour cream." 14. "Baked sweet potato (or any other kind of potato) topped with Amy's chili and avocado. You can add more toppings if you have/want them (cheese, Greek yogurt, jalapeños, etc.)." 15. "Rotisserie chicken and Rao's marinara, pesto sauce, or jarred curry sauce. Shred the chicken, heat it up in one of the sauces, and serve over pasta or rice. Serve with raw mini carrots, or slice and add carrots to the sauce of your choice." — throwaway22526411041 16. "We like the Rana chicken and pasta kits. I buy a bag of fresh spinach, broccoli, and sometimes the little tomatoes and throw in the sauce the last minute of microwaving." 17. "The ramen bowls in the freezer section (fresh, not deep-fried, rehydrated noodles). If I'm really hungry, I'll bake or air fry a couple of the Kirkland tempura shrimp for 10 minutes (also in the freezer section) to have on the side." — bemocked 18. "Definitely the shrimp cocktail over spring mix with diced apple cubes and some Kirkland Signature balsamic vinegar. I love that as a quick healthy lunch!" 19. "The rotisserie chicken is the ultimate. It's a whole, cooked chicken sold for less than the same amount of raw meat, saving you time and money. It can be put into almost any chicken dish (I use it for chile verde, pasta, soups, tamales, etc.). You can just carve it up with the skin on, roast it a little more in the oven (I do, like, 10 minutes at 375°F), and serve it with a salad and baguette or maybe rice. Boom, that's a sit-down quality dinner for your family that took maybe 20 minutes to make. I also love using the carcass for stock!" — drewdaddy213 20. "I always have a bag of frozen tortellini and a jug of minced garlic on hand. Cook the tortellini, then throw some butter and garlic in the pot to make a sauce while the pasta drains. It's my go-to easy meal. Sometimes, I'll have a sauce on hand like pesto or marinara, but if I don't have a jar opened, I go with butter and garlic. I also keep frozen shrimp on hand, which is nice because you can defrost shrimp quickly if you want protein." — HooWhatWhen 21. "In a large pot, add one jar of Rao's, one jar of water, and one bag of whatever frozen or fresh veg sounds good. Add some Better Than Bouillon (beef or chicken) and any other spices you want. Let this cook for about 10 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Add two cans of beans or one cup of dried lentils. If you're using dried lentils, cook them for 10 minutes. If you're using canned beans, cook until the beans are warm (about five minutes). Add more water if needed, bring to a boil, and add the pasta. Cook the pasta slightly longer than you would in water — it generally takes me 12 minutes instead of nine for whole-grain pasta. Serve with a dash of parmesan." 22. "Get a rotisserie chicken and a pack of King's Hawaiian buns. Remove as much meat as you can from the chicken, dice it, and throw it in a bowl. Sauté some red onions until cooked and add to the chicken, then add salt, a drizzle of olive oil, and some balsamic vinegar. Stir the whole thing up and make sandwiches. They are even better the next day." There you have it: Costco meals that are big on flavor but small on effort. Whether you're brand new to the world of bulk buying or you have your membership card memorized, these lazy meal ideas can truly make your dinner prep a cinch. Because sometimes you just want something delicious without all the fuss. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to grab a rotisserie chicken and a tub of spinach artichoke dip — for, you know, 'research.' Bon appétit and happy Costco shopping!
