On the Road

I'm on day 3 of my drive from San Francisco to Brooklyn with my friend, Derek. I'm bringing out my soccer-mom car to Brooklyn and Derek is going to grad school at NYU.

Today, we started out in the Grand Tetons National Park and now are in the middle of Wyoming. The Buffalo Bill Historical Center was a revelation. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the vicinity of Cody, Wyoming. Also, we had an excellent dinner at Wyoming Ribs & Chops. The rib-eye was tender and juicy and cooked in butter to a nice medium-rare. It was nice and fatty, though it could've had better marbelization. A total deal at $21.95 (including a nice house salad and a side). Derek had the baby back ribs. Nicely tender and carmelized. The sauce was just OK though.

Back to tomatoes. I've actually been away since Aug 10, so these are the SMS updates about the tomatoes. They are being cared for by the lovely Sarrita:

• Aug 15: So many tomatoes! I've been very attentive!
• Aug 17: Came home lots of tomatoes but a little dry

Sarrita is flying to Chicago on Wednesday and will join us on the remaining days of the trip. Of course, I will be excited and happy to see her, but also curious to find out her solution for watering our babies.
