Yep, I'm gone on a short overnight road trip. Seems like us Bloggers get all the food, fun, and travel. I mean Reid goes to San Francisco and Seattle; Angie goes to Italy, Dylan goes to Hawaii; Pam's in San Fran as well. MEalcentric got us all beat, Thailand and Vietnam, in one fell swoop. There's even rumor that Sarah is going to Chicago.
So where does mmm-yoso, go?
Well due to current Corporate Budget constraints......I go to Yuma, that's right, I'm on my way to Yuma. After all, as the Yuma Convention and Visitors Bureau says:
"Our clean air affords residents and visitors alike a year
round vista of surrounding rugged mountains."
Yes, I'm going of my own free will! I even found a Yuma based food blog.
Seriously, I've always seen that 180 miles to Yuma sign on the 8 Freeway, and am curious about what's in Yuma. So I'm meeting up with that Mythical Figure, Ed from Yuma, he of the amazing Delici-yoso dance. I'm sure he'll find me some interesting eats in Yuma.
Here today, gone to Yuma!!! I'll be back tomorrow!

Have fun! We used to go to Yuma when I was a kid. I think it was because of the Padres training camp.
Anyway, I'm sure that you'll find some great places to eat and your reports will make it sound like a culinary mecca! :)

Friends when Chandler tells his girlfriend he is going to "Yemen". Man, good luck with that and I hope you find some good chow to report on.
I am going to Vegas for a business meeting on Wednesday. Gotta slip in a side trip to Lotus of Siam or the Wynn Buffet if time permits.

I've been through Yuma a couple of times on my way to Padres spring training games. I remember eating some good Mexican food there.
I can't wait to read your report--have a great time!

Hi Jacquie - Thanks for letting me know how it came out! I'm very happy it turned out well. I'm always curious as to how my recipes come out when others make it, probably due to the fact that I'm always concerned that I left some important step out....
