Friday morning.

No one is coming with me, and I am not stopping to visit anyone on the
way this time. I am anxious to get home...so I will be bookin' down
that road!!

LOL! I know that story quite well!

Going home the same way I came...I-64 over to I-81, then down to
I-40..then straight across to Albuquerque.

Easy trip; plenty of fuel stations and the odd truck stop.

The plan for now, is to spend the first night in Nashville. I think I
am going to try for breakfast the next morning at the Loveless Cafe,
which is a Southern classic.

Good luck on understanding the locals; I didn't realise they were
speaking English (OK American). Don't remember where I ate.

Then on to Oklahoma City for the next night.. I will again go through
Memphis, but at the most will only stop to shop at Penzeys...if I do
that at all....

Also good truck stops; the food isn't bad at all.

Not sure where I will be eating for the rest of the trip...I am
perusing www.roadfood.com to see where I want to eat.

Most of the time I stopped at supermarkets or truck stop food shops;
saved a lot of money and time that way but that isn't for everyone. And
I did get asked 'So what sort of rig are you driving' at one truck stop
outside Bartlesville (bad accident up ahead so I pulled off to wait it
out). The 'real' truck driver laughed when I pointed out the ancient
Volkswagen visible in the lot.

Oh, I grew up in the South, so I can interpet pretty well..LOL.

I might do that.

I will have some food with me, for when I stop for the night. Just in
case it is pretty late, and if I don't feel like going out to get
something. I generally stay in extended stay type places, where there
are kitchenettes.

Want anything from the east coast/south? I got a whole bunch of stuff
already, and I am thinking of going out in a bit to get a country ham
to bring back.

And on Thursday morning, after getting off work, I am heading to the
little produce market that had such nice southern produce, to get some
fresh butter beans, and some pole beans, the kind that are really
thick and need a longer cooking time. That plus some more slab bacon.
That stuff is sooooooooooo good!! I am hoping the pole beans and
butter beans hold up in my little cooler: it does keep things nice and
cold for several days, so it may work.

Bookmarked it.

Because their entries for the Phoenix area are pathetic
and I need to go enter more.

All they're bringing is Los Dos Molinos, Valle Luna,
and Ted's dogs?

Po-leeez!

Where's Richardson's? Where's the TexAz Grill*? Where's
Serrano's? (Frankly, I can find a dozen Mexican places I'd
rather go than Valle Luna; Los Dos is a good choice, but
is New-Mexican, ironically.)

* - right across the street from Richardson's, actually...
