Four Foods on Friday

8th August 2008

posted in blogging, family |

Our fearless leader of Four Foods on Friday will be on vacation this weekend and so this week’s edition is slightly different. Either way, I’m glad she’s getting some time away and hope Valmg enjoys herself very much!

This weeks questions and my answers are as follows.

#1. If you could travel anywhere to have a meal, where would you want to go and what would you want to eat. I think I would love to go to California (I know, not too exotic). There are two things I truly miss about living in California, fresh fish and fresh fruit. I love fish, but it’s just difficult to find when it’s fresh and not over priced.

#2. When you go away do you make your own meals or eat out? I prefer to eat out. One of the reasons I enjoy going on vacation is to get away from my every day duties. I like not having to clean up after myself and that’s part of what makes a vacation good for me.

#3. While traveling if you have to stop for a meal do you go in or do you go through the drive thru and eat in the car? If we’re on the road, I go through the drive-thru. We might park and run in to order, but that’s only to give us a chance to stretch and go to the bathroom. I can’t completely relax until we get to our destination, so it’s hard for me to go sit down in a restaurant to eat.

#4. Share a recipe or food related tip for people making a long trip by car. Just like Valmg, I like to take a small cooler along with bottles of water and juice in it. One tip I learned on our last trip was to use the half full water bottles, the ones nobody claims, as water for the dog. Another tip, I try to get rid of the drive-thru, fast food trash at each stop. It makes it easier to keep the van clean during the road trip.

I am so glad I am not the only one who does not like to go in and sit down in a restaurant while traveling. I am anxious to get where we are going but hubby looks at my like I have two heads when I say, “do we have to go in?”.

I just can’t relax! If I stop for dinner, I’m done, I need a hotel!

Anele - It’s amazing what junk we allow ourselves to eat, all in the name of a good vacation!

Eating out is very pampering when there are no dishes to worry about afterwards. We eat out most of the time on trips also.
