Day 3 of our super road trip across country. We have made it to Virginia. My car that was acting up in Texas was great. Untill today. It died at the hotel from overheating. Guess we will add some more coolant and do our final push tomorrow. There are Dunkin Donuts here so my DH says we have come from the wastelands and are nearing civilization :) I keep asking him what day it is because ive lost track. This has been the longest week of my life. Packing up a house, cleaning a house, selling a house, and driving across country. Woooo.

Ha! First night we went to an AMAZING diner in Texarkana, AR. I had the best chicken fried steak of my life. Im convinced it was fried in lard or shortening. And the brocoli rice casserole....mmm...and biscuits. And the coconut cream pie....i wanted to cry! last night we had greek food in Nashville (it was close to the hotel). I had a gyro sandwich stuffed with tabbouli and cucumbers and tomatos and feta. OMG it was good. And i had some falafel. It wasnt as good as Seans Falafel on this site though ;) and tonite we had a delish new york style pizza.

I think ive gained 10 pounds from sitting in the car and eating.

Almost there!!! Tomorrow is the final push and then I can eat like crazy out my my FILs garden :) And get my plumpy @ss on the cross trainer :)

My fiance and I moved to Fla. at the end of last year and we drove cross country, then we decided to move back to Ca. so we drove my car back across country, flew back to Fla. then drove his car back. I was a food wimp tho and stuck to Subway and Wendy's. I should've been more adventurous like you!

About Me 
I'm a military wife just living it up around the world. My husband and I prefer to eat at home rather than go out. Too many times have we gone somewhere only to look at each other and say "we could make this better at home." I hate chain restaurants....everything is salty, huge and fatty.
My favorite things to cook
Pizza! Breads! Anything Italian...or Japanese for that matter. I love to cook anything that tastes good and doesn't take 5 hours. And I like to find new ways to eat vegetables. Its tough living in Texas were coleslaw is considered a vegetable!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Pierogis for Christmas and Easter. Fresh from scratch lasagne on Christmas Eve. Waffles, muffins.........my husband makes the most delicious Mabo Tofu and fried rice. I could eat bowls and bowls of it.
My cooking triumphs
Getting my husband to like tofu. He loves it now. It cracks me up because he used to refer to it as "bad chicken" in stir frys. I think trying to eat vegan every now and then is good too. Its opened my mind to a whole new way to approach food :)
My cooking tragedies
Ive made a few revolting soups. Totally inedible. Ok. Ive made a LOT of revolting soups. My poor husband. I keep trying new recipes but there is only a few that have been edible. Ive messed up pretty much everything there is to think of.
