This morning we got up early and worked until about 11:30am and then left St. Louis and headed for Kansas City (KS/MO). We stopped at a rest stop about halfway through the drive and made some lunch (Tom Yum soup with mushrooms, chicken, cilantro, lime, jalapeno), worked for a bit,…

This afternoon's exploration brought to you by a late lunch at The Shaved Duck. We walked in the front door and the guy at the bar said "You just made it. The kitchen stops serving in 4 minutes." Whew! We found this place on Yelp and it had great reviews…

I may have mentioned that we stopped by Rick's White Light Diner on Monday and it was closed. Today after picking the truck up from the shop (it's actually fixed now, pretty sure) and running a couple errands, I decided to stop in for a late lunch/early dinner at around…

I forgot this image in the last post about Versailles, KY. The municipal building downtown, with its outdoor weather warning siren on top: Also, when trying to research this building I didn't find much, but I did learn that a notable resident of Versailles, KY (and Saddlebred owner) is/was William Shatner.…
