road food, part 2 by jen

Linda's happy about breakfast!

We had supper in Winslow, AZ at the old Harvey House that Linda mentioned earlier. First we had soup - a creamy sweet corn soup on one side and black bean soup on the other. Next, stuffed squash blossoms filled with cheese and corn. We split the main course, a lamb variety plate. (They were proud of their locally raised lamb, so we thought we ought to try it)

This may be the best pizza I've ever eaten - pesto with sauteed peppers and onions, whole cloves of roasted garlic, and feta cheese crumbles . . . yum. Linda's pizza was also good.





These next guys are tapas that we were inspired to eat after watching travel channel episode on visiting Madrid. In the first, Linda shows her "I'm eating raw meat" face while posing with seared ahi. Next is my fish kebabs. Then, we're still hungry and order calamari. The last pic is our little calamari friend.

fancy schmancy meal - our friend at the hostel said the restaurant wasn't too expensive.
(he lied)
Linda enjoyed a lightly breaded, pan seared trout, stuffed with a mushroom and shrimp medley, topped with caviar and served on a bed of Israeli couscous. I had the beef special, with goat cheese, garlic mashed potatoes.


supper at the famous El Rancho hotel, where John Wayne and Lucille Ball once stayed.





Linda loves coffee!

Some last bits

These are the last of the vacation photos that I'm going to post. I'll make a game out of these last ones. Answer the questions using the corresponding photos

1. In the first photo Jen is hearing a version of a song for the first time. What song is she hearing and who is the artist (yep, it's a remake)?

2. What is Jennifer's old west name?

3. What is upsetting Linda?

4. In the final photo why is Linda using the heifer's toilet?

I hope that you have enjoyed my vacation. (We may have one more post on the food, but I'm not sure about that yet).

The Painted Desert/Petrified Forest

And petroglyphs!

Come and sleep in an authentic, um...

This was true American kitsch. I wish that I had thought to take a picture of the shower. The "tepee" cottages have the slanted walls on the inside (as you might have guessed) and the shower is in a "corner". It really was fun to stay here despite the structural weirdness. The last picture is my "wake up view".
