Thursday : 20 July 2006
Another No Bad News Thursday is in the books.  And it wasn’t bad.  Even the parts with MFM #2 were pretty much cake.

Post-work, I had dinner with and her family; we had ribs.  And they were good.  (Now I have an urge to try and find that place in Kansas City that a friend took me to many moons ago.) 

It also got me thinking:  What parts of the country are known for what kinds of food?  For example:  For ribs, I think of Kansas City.  For jambalaya, it’s The Big Easy.  Crabs, nothing beats the Chesapeake.  Chowder from “Bahstahn.”  Um… Jell-O (with carrot shavings), The Zion Curtain.  But, what are other parts of the country known for?  That also led me to the thought that a culinary-based road trip – or series of road trips/vacations – would be fun.  Visit a part of the country and sample some of its best food fare.

Stray Toasters

  • I talked with my father tonight.  Nothing in particular, just… talk.  All’s well on the home front.
  • asked me to pas this along: She has a pass for six (6) discounted admissions to Lagoon for Saturday, 21 July 2006. If you’re interested in going, please leave her a message.
  • Matt, a coworker, sent me a link to this puzzle.  You are supposed to figure out how to get to the next page; there are thirty pages.  From “1” to “2” is pretty easy.  I’m currently stuck trying to go from “17” to “18”.  If you decide to give it a go, “Good luck.”
