Jan always records the CBS Sunday Morning show and then we watch it later. Like I’m up early enough to watch it live. Anyway, one segment this morning was about Pie Town, NM and Pie-O-Neer Pies
We stopped in Pie Town and ate at Pie-O-Neer as we heading back to Texas for Brandi’s wedding in June 2010. You can read about it here. June 13, 2010
I finally decided on Cherokee Landing for our two week Thousand Trails stay in Tennessee starting July 20th. Based on the reviews, it was more a matter of picking the least worst rather than the best one. So we’ll see how it goes and let you know.
About 3:30 we headed out for dinner down in Camp Verde, but before we left the park I dropped off a stack of Gypsy Journal’s down at the club house. There were a couple guys sitting in the rec area and were happy to see them. Reminded them that they can, of course, subscribe.
Then it was on down to Crusty’s Pizza, a regular stop when we’re here at Verde Valley. We love their Baked Spaghetti and always get a couple of the dinners to go.
But this time we decided to get a pizza to eat in as well. Since the dinners come with salad, and salad doesn’t freeze well, we had the salads with the pizza.
A really good salad, though I would prefer less iceberg lettuce and more romaine.
We got a medium pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, Italian sausage, and meatballs.
Really, really good, with a lot of flavor. And with the big salads filling us up, we even had a couple of slices left over to for breakfast on the road in a few days.
Getting home, we vacuum sealed the Spaghetti Dinners and froze them.
As you can see these things are huge, and when divided in half, one dinner feeds both of us when combined with a little bread and salad.

We had a couple of comments to yesterday’s blog concerning Jan’s and my ‘eating’ habits, or maybe ‘eating out’ habits, specifically, our stopping at another restaurant on the way home from the first one.
One average, we probably eat out every other day or so. On the in-between days, it may be leftovers from our eating out, or Jan may fixe something. But it’s up to Jan.
When we retired and hit the road in February 2008, we both retired. From whatever we wanted to retire from. And that includes Jan fixing meals. Jan’s a good cook, I mean, I was skinny when we got married. But now she cooks when she wants to cook. And if she doesn’t, we eat out. It’s up to her.
As far as stopping at one restaurant on the way home from another, we stopped at Hog Wild BBQ to pick up some BBQ to freeze and take with us on the road.
Hey, it works for us.
