Weekend escape: The Outer Banks

Only an hour and a half away we have the Outer Banks, some of the prettiest beaches I've seen in the US.  We only made it as far south as Kitty Hawk and Nag's Head, but hopefully we'll be able to take the whole route down sometime soon!

Food Outlook: Somewhat less Dismal with a Chance of Plátanos

hMost food in Ahoskie is just like the swamp....dismal...in price, quality, selection, you name it.  
Thank God that the Hampton Roads area is so close.  Pupusa heaven @ El Gavilan in Norfolk and awesome comida dominicana @ La Tierra in Virginia Beach!  Too bad dancing is only on Sundays...

Quest for Salvadoran Food

After 3 months here in North Carolina, Edwin is going crazy for pupusas.  I can't blame him...the quality of food here is absolutely disgusting.  At home, he cooks almost everything we eat for the simple fact that he is incapable of even dreaming of changing his eating styles.  And really, so am I.  I miss miss miss 2 hour lunches where that was my big meal of the day.  After I get home from school, there's no way I'm going to cook, and I love Salvadoran dinners, so...

Sad thing is that it took me this long to find out where there's Salvadoran food close by.  Another trip to Norfolk/Virginia Beach to search out pupusas is on the plate for today!  God bless Justin, whoever he is, and his lovely map of local markets.
