One of the things I love to do when I’m traveling is eat – not for quanity but all the things that I can’t ordinarily get.
Our first stop on this trip was the New Jersey coast. Some may mock New Jersey but I’ve always enjoyed my visits there – though the beach may have something to do with it. Well, the beach and the pizza. My husband and I were out exploring on a trip we made more than a decade ago and stumbled upon a small local pizzeria. This was no ordinary pizza though – it’s heaven by the slice. I’ve made it a point to get back to that place every time we are in the vicinity and I live in fear that they will go under between my visits.
Imagine my delight to find it still going strong even after a considerable gap in visits. If you’re ever in the Allenherst area, give Serpico’s Pizza a try. You won’t be disappointed.
Another food I always like to eat when I’m back in the US is Mexican food. For whatever reason, it’s not easy to find good Mexican food in the Middle East. I was delighted to discover a good Mexican place located right next door to my hotel in Duluth – the burrito I ordered was obscenely large and they had nice margaritas too. I’ll be staying over again the night before my departure. Guess where I’ll be having dinner?
Now that I’m up in the woods with my parents (dividing my time between their separate dwellings) I’m enjoying home cooking that I didn’t have to prepare myself. I’ve only been here a couple of days and I’ve had fresh fish twice. My mother has a list of all my favorites planned and my stepmother loves to bake.
I’m doomed.
I mentioned a few weeks back that I’d won a year’s gym membership – I think I’m going to need it by the end of this trip! 
Yep, I would be pigging out over the summer! Don’t know what I would do without my Tex-Mex fix!
Have a wonderful summer!
