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,…

Today we began our day back at Rick's White Light Diner for "The Best Eggs Benedict." A wonderful meal and a great atmosphere and fun conversation with Rick…same as before, only this time Kevin got to go! He thought it was was even better than I'd built it up to…
