New England Update
Just a quick note: The road trip went OK, except we got sick and had to come home early. I spent most of the weekend in bed, after driving almost 900 miles, and have been busy at work this week. I'll post a full update on my *almost* week-long New England adventure this weekend.
Stay tuned!

Feasting on Asphalt: New England
Inspired by Alton Brown and his crew; my wife and I are taking a week long road trip through New England. Our journey will start from home in Michigan, through Ohio (because it's just too much of a pain to cross the border anymore), nick the edge of Pennsylvania, and land somewhere in New York for the night. Day two will take us to Salem, Massachusetts for a two-night stay, then off through New Hampshire and into Vermont. We're staying at a bed and breakfast in Woodstock, Vermont for two nights and it looks like that will make a good base for exploring the area. Then off through the Adirondacks and back home. Whew! You wouldn't believe how many maps and travel books we have piled up on the table!
As for feasting, I'm not sure what we'll find. Clam chowder certainly stands out as the regional dish of Boston, but what else is there? I find mentions of local cheese and maple syrup in Vermont, but what else? For a culture so steeped in history there must be something to discover along the way; or does the moniker of New ENGLAND tell all with regards to cuisine? I'll try to stay away from the tourist traps, but so far that's is what the Boston area looks like. I'm hoping to find more adventure in Vermont.
On the Feasting on Asphalt topic, I may try to plan something for next year with more variety, but that's another vacation.
So, no updates next week since we'll be gone and I don't have a laptop for traveling. Wish me luck in finding local food!
