A trip!

All 2 of my readers already know this but here goes, to summarize recent events.

We went to the Noble Pig a lot. Ate a lot of TexMex. Cooked at home very little. Went to a couple of Noble Pig Sandwiches Dinners. Went on a precrawl BBQ crawl that was really a full on crawl but if you don't understand that well, we went to 4 BBQ restaurants in one day (for those of you not in TX a a BBQ restaurant isn't hotdogs and hamburgers its a type of food that is generally smoked slowly over a long period of time resulting in meat ambrosia). Had a BBQ. Signed up for what amounts to a second mortgage.

We bought a Class C RV a few weeks back and have driven it to NH on our first real vacation in a couple of years. The drive to NH usually takes about 3 days and covers about 2100 miles. This time it took 4.5 and was closer to 2500 because the middle of the country got flooded and with the RV I decided to stay on major highways as much as possible. We got to see way more of Arkansas and Missouri than I had planned. The drive went well otherwise though the roads in Indiana are probably the worst I have driven on in a long time considering we were on a major Interstate highway. The RV gave us the opportunity to stop a lot more for rest and we did spend 3 nights sleeping in it along the way. That made for a much safer drive in many ways but I still pushed way to hard a couple times and pushed Michelle and myself into a state of being so tired we were ready to strangle each other over the dumbest things. Food was a lot more healthy but still could have been better. Only actually ate fast food once though there was some snacking on Munchos that was probably a bad idea, the second bag of them was definitely a bad idea.

Now that we have been at my parents house for a couple days and have recovered it's time to start to get back to my normal foodie ways and hit a few restaurants in the area and report back on them eventually but it will likely be a somewhat subdued food adventure series because we just paid for gas at $4+ a galllon over 2400 or so miles for a vehicle getting between 7 and 8 miles per gallon. Some cheaper food is likely to be the price of driving a small house across the country. Luckily cheap doesn't always mean bad or even not interesting. I suspect we will be searching out some inexpensive but very fresh and tasty seafood very soon.

For those of you who haven't already found it Michelle is keepping a much more detailed and better written blog at: miceblank.blogspot.com
