For those of you who didn’t know, Garlic, My Soul is going to be expanding to a bi-coastal project! And, of course, in the style of 2011 being a year of DOING THINGS we’re taking a cross-country road trip to expand our project and to give ourselves a break.
This is our plan for the first 5 days. Itinerary, you ask?
Day 1: We’ll be driving from LA to Flagstaff, AZ. Depending on time we’ll check out the Grand Canyon, or else check it out at sunrise the next morning, because we’re crazy.
Day 2: Drive from Flagstaff/Grand Canyon to Albuquerque, NM, to see MEG, one of Cor’s besties and a going-to-be-bestie of mine.
Day 3: Chill in Albuquerque, NM, with Meg, her bf Mike, and see some awesome stuff.
Day 4: Drive from NM to Amarillo to see Cadillac Ranch, and then on to Dallas, TX.
Day 5: Drive from Dallas to Houston, stopping along the way to see some of TX and ultimately enjoying delicious BBQ cuisine.
This is our second half.
Day 6: Head from Houston though Galveston, TX, on the Bolivar Peninsula, through Baton Rouge, LA, and onto New Orleans.
Day 7: New Orleans to Memphis, TN, through Jackson, MS, to start our civil rights mini-tour.
Day 8: Memphis to Atlanta, through Birmingham, AL. Day two of our civil rights mini-tour, and a stop over to see the siblings of Corelyn.
Day 9: A hop, skip, and jump to Knoxville, TN, to complete our journey!!
But Jennie, what does this have to do with cooking, you ask? EVERYTHING. We thrive on trying new things, and this will give us a real chance to get a taste for the South and its cuisine. We ask YOU, our READERS, to give us suggestions on things to try, places to go, and restaurants to bask in. Let us know where you have been, what you’ve read about, and what you’re just plain DYING to have reviewed. We’re your girls!
More definite plans as we get closer, and you can bet your bottom dollar we’ll be blogging from the road.
