Did a smaller version of that... Just the Arizona part with the big boy. Look forward to more including camping when kids get bigger.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984899661746845414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-50592239996821701842013-11-14T09:52:55.418-08:002013-11-14T09:52:55.418-08:00All I really know about barbecue is that grilling ...All I really know about barbecue is that grilling is Not The Same Thing. :-)<br /><br />I love road trips. The esposo and I have had some great vacations from the car ... Sedona, San Diego, Calaveras County, Sonoma County, the Olympic Peninsula.<br /><br />Even when we fly somewhere, we always explore when we get there. North Carolina, Oregon, Hawaii (Big Island), Cocoa Beach.<br /><br />We are currently scheming an Oregon Coast road trip, that may or may not involve lodging for a week at one more-or-less central point and making forays from there.<br /><br />If we ever make it to Europe/England, I fully intend to see as much as possible from the road. There is just no better way to get to the places you want to get to, at the time you want to get there, while still leaving open the option of impulsive exploratory detours.<br /><br />The funny/sad thing is my family hardly ever traveled and we NEVER camped. I still don't camp. But boy I love to go roaming.chacha1http://www.ombailamos.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-30210853881261157232013-11-14T08:39:50.933-08:002013-11-14T08:39:50.933-08:00as an import I feel confident in my opinion of pul...as an import I feel confident in my opinion of pulled pork BBQ. Smoked brisket can be wonderful - there's a couple of Birmingham area BBQ restaurants that do amazing brisket - but pulled pork seems truer to the original meaning of "barbacoa".<br /><br />But who knows, maybe the Aussies have it right :PStuart Carterhttp://www.addictedtocanning.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-38995819831383796302013-11-14T08:24:07.883-08:002013-11-14T08:24:07.883-08:00Mary, I will, you can count on it.
Stuart: heh, ...Mary, I will, you can count on it. <br /><br />Stuart: heh, exactly. As a born and bred northerner, my opinion has zero credibility in the "is beef real BBQ or not" debate. Of course, a Texan would tell you yes. And an Alabaman KNOWS real BBQ is pork-only. <br /><br />I will say this, though: the brisket at Pizzitola's was scary good. <br /><br />DKDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388302796031288076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-11663273725096296792013-11-14T07:37:13.566-08:002013-11-14T07:37:13.566-08:00come to Alabama and have some outrageously good ta...come to Alabama and have some outrageously good tacos and TRUE BBQ - pulled pork, of course ;)Stuart Carterhttp://www.addictedtocanning.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-19086060823012093582013-11-14T07:17:38.261-08:002013-11-14T07:17:38.261-08:00Sounds like great fun-- definitely come to Idaho n...Sounds like great fun-- definitely come to Idaho next time around.Owlhavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08914960326214046859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-16429333427220756952013-11-14T07:09:13.923-08:002013-11-14T07:09:13.923-08:00Me too actually!!
