Divina Cucina on the Road- Benevento

Divina Cucina on the Road- Benevento

From Over the Tuscan Stove, 4 month ago Similar articles

This year I was invited to attend a wine festival south of Naples. I adore the wines of this region, mostly whites and knew little about the reds so was excited to join the group. I adore travelling around any food and wine festival as you see the locals celebrating and each village has some special event. In Chianti we have festivals each weekend in Sept. So the chance to see another area of Italy celebrate and to taste all the best of their wines is a great excuse for travel. One of the...

Canadian Small Towns - Gananoque

From Correr Es Mi Destino, 3 days ago, Similar articles

Even though I'm very much a city person and can't imagine living in a place with a population of less than 500,000, I'm in love with Canadian small towns. Over the year, we visit quite a lot of small towns, mostly in Ontario but also in the U.S. Some were just a stop on the road to or from somewhere, some were a getaway, but most of them were simply lovely. It's a cliché but the pace of life is different and people are friendlier than in the big cities. It's also refreshing to see fewer...

Final Push: Marshall, TX to Home Sweet Home Pensacola

Final Push: Marshall, TX to Home Sweet Home Pensacola

From Here There and Everywhere, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

AdventureMan looked at the map. We had thought we would stop somewhere in Louisiana today, spend the night, but . . . you get this close, and with just a little effort, we could be home. We could pick up the Qatari Cat. We could have dinner with our son and his wife and our sweet little grandson . . . We smile at each other, and head home. We stop for gas in Jackson, Mississippi, and find a family run BBQ nearby, where lunch is quick, and delicious, and we are back on the road in no time....

Don Jose's, A Bright Spot in Decatur, TX

Don Jose's, A Bright Spot in Decatur, TX

From Here There and Everywhere, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

The morning drive is interesting, as we leave Interstate 40 and cut across Texas headed toward Dallas-Fort Worth. The road is fast, and cuts through cattle ranches, farms, ranches and some deserted towns. By noon, we are more than ready for a stop, and decide to try to find something in Decatur. We don’t want same-old, we want local, and AdventureMan spots Don Jose’s. Lunch was good, and you are just going to have to take my word for it because I forgot to take any photos. Don...

Absolute Favorite, in Mancos, Colorado

Absolute Favorite, in Mancos, Colorado

From Here There and Everywhere, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

Every now and then pure unexpected magic happens, a blessing, pure grace. Every now and then you make a stop and all the right things happen. We had not enjoyed our breakfast the previous morning at the Far View Lodge, so we decided to get on the road early, and find a place to eat on the road. We were up and out by seven, and it took about half an hour just to get off the mesa and down to the main road. Once we hit the main road, we start looking for a good place to stop. We see a sign: ...

Great NY Noodle Town

Great NY Noodle Town

From Lioness in Japan, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

I’m finally back home in Tokyo, and again, I was just too busy to blog but that means I have TONS of stories to share. I loved travelling with the kangaroo but nothing beats home. While it was nice experiencing the perks that go with tagging along with a road warrior (upgrades to suites, swish first-class airport lounges, great seats on the plane), I would still choose my home in Tokyo over those anytime. But let’s get on with reminiscing my travels… Great NY Noodle Town is...

Mesa Verde, Colorado and the Far View Lodge

Google Maps is pretty good; I use it on my computer, on my iPad and most of all, on my iPhone. I love that when I tell it to get me from Grand Canyon Village to Mesa Verde, Colorado, it gives me a variety of routes, with the exact mileage and estimated travel time for each. It is very accurate, and also gets us through small towns where you might have to change roads a time or two. You just make sure the pulsing blue ball is following the bright blue road. Piece of cake! Most of the drive...

We all got our silly on in Walla Walla, Washington. The inspiration for our spontaneous 4-hour road trip was a perfect storm of 17-year anniversary (of our first date), sunny weather and just wanting to go to a place called...

Another quick lunch in Amsterdam: Pilaf basmati salad

Another quick lunch in Amsterdam: Pilaf basmati salad

From The Dutched Pinay, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

Because I am on the road most of the times I get the opportunity to eat lunch outside. Well, I do not make this a habit really because I usually bring my own food. However, there are times that I am too busy to pack my lunch so I rely on supermarkets, or depending on location, a quick lunch in a cafe.Salad grains for lunch: Whole grain pilaf and basmati rice with pistachios, raisins, chickpeas and dill herbs, and some fresh mint hot tea. Salad is a bit dry but I like it so 4 stars out of 5....
