So today is my last day in South Carolina. Tomorrow, I start the long drive home.
Admittedly, it is difficult to be away from home like this. But there is a part of me
that enjoys it. One of my favorite TV shows is Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations”. Not only is he one cool mother, but his philosophy in regard to traveling matches mine. He immerses himself into the culture and is not afraid to sample local delicacies.
The thing I like about my job – I am able to stay in a place long enough to get to know a place.
Some construction workers find bliss in leaving their dollars in the garter belt of strippers. I leave by bills on the table of the waitress. Food is my solace.
The pizza and Italian food in
Connecticut. The lobster in Massachusetts. The taco stands in Tucson with their Sonoran hot dogs. The buffets in Vegas. DiBella’s subs and Primanti Brothers in Pittsburgh. The greasy goodness of Southern cooking as exemplified in South Carolina’s Lizard’s Thicket.
And when we don’t eat out, we grill. Carne asada, jalapeños roasted on flames and burned fingers from flipping over tortillas by hand.
The pain of being separated from my family assuaged by the sizzling of meat…

mmMMmm...Heart attack on a plate!
Yummy!
And you have the nerve to reject chunky women?... tsk tsk! =P
Reject chunky women??
I practically AM a chunky woman! ;)
Yeah i read once, a blog or an email from you, you said you didn't dig the chunky girls. I figured it was fair enough, can't help what you are (and aren't) attracted to.
I don't recall ever having said that. And I certainly don't feel that way.
I am usually attracted first to intelligence and personality in a woman.
And as my brother pointed out when I read this to him, "You are not one to judge weight." lol
